A year later, Capitol Hill pipe-bomb case takes on new significance

There was considerable attention yesterday on the anniversary of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, and for good reason. It was a dramatic and deadly assault on our democracy, and one of the most important acts of domestic political violence in generations.

But let's not forget about the crimes of Jan. 5, which also took on renewed significance yesterday. NBC News reported:

Kamala Harris, then the vice president-elect, was at the Democratic National Committee headquarters when a pipe bomb was found outside on Jan. 6, 2021, according to three people familiar with the matter. "She was there until she was evacuated," said a White House official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive matter.

A Politico report added that Capitol Police began investigating the pipe bomb at 1:07 p.m. It was seven minutes later when Harris was evacuated from the DNC headquarters, which is roughly a half-mile from the Capitol building.

It might be that the bomber is known and that it is one of the two Rbimbos in the House and the time to arrest them is coming. I think that a whole bunch of arrests will be sprinkled about in a short time and will include a bunch of members of Congress. They will all need to be scooped up together.

She should’ve been in the Senate for the voting on the Electoral count, shouldn’t she?

There was nothing happening in the Senate at the time.
