I think they've known for some time.

Can't tell me you can walk around one of the most politically important zip codes in the world in the middle of the night with explosives and no one knows about it, no one saw anything. Not possible.

Although the pipe bombs were planted on Jan. 5, they were not discovered until 1 p.m. on Jan 6. This has led social media users to question why Greene accused Pelosi of ignoring intelligence about the bombs on Jan. 5. and whether the Republican lawmaker had any knowledge of the explosive devices being planted before anybody else.

"MTG, the pipe bombs weren't discovered until Jan 6th, why did you just accuse Speaker Pelosi of ignoring them on the 5th? Do you perhaps know more about them," Noel Casler, an NYC-based stand-up comedian captioned a screenshot of Greene's tweet.

While it is possible that it was nothing more than a typographical error,Greene's knowledge of the pipe bombs led to wild speculation that the congresswoman planted the explosives around D.C. on the eve of the U.S. Capitol attack.What further fueled the conspiracy theory is earlier speculation that the suspect may have been a female. After the FBI released video footage of the suspect in March, many believed it was a woman judging by the individuals' gait and mannerisms.
