J6 pipe bomb 🧵

On 6/7/23 the House Judiciary Committee interviewed Steven D’Antuono, former FBI Assistant Director in Charge of the DC field office.

Most of the interview covered topics such as the warrant served at Mar a Lago, but I asked questions about the J6 pipe bombs.

If you are just becoming familiar with the rapidly collapsing narrative of the J6 pipe bombs, I suggest reading @DarrenJBeattie’s comprehensive and insightful coverage of this topic.

The purpose of this thread is to post the original transcript of my interview with the FBI ADIC.

In addition to reading this transcript, you might want to watch my questioning of the ATF director and the FBI director. I also suggest watching the video of the discovery of the DNC pipe bomb.

I’ll post those three videos at the end of this thread.

Mr. D’Antuono was in charge of the Washington DC FBI office from 2019 (just before J6 2021) until November of 2022. He was in charge of the agents who were conducting the J6 pipe bomb investigation. Previously he was the Special Agent in Charge of the FBI office in Michigan.

A one hour kitchen timer on a bomb allegedly placed 17 hours earlier. How could that be operable?

Could the detonator even function?

Did it contain explosives?

Remarkable timing of discovery.


Here I asked about the video my staff and I found regarding the discovery of the second pipe bomb.

Would the people who discovered the bombs be suspects?

Do we have all of the video at the best resolution?

Did the FBI release false or incomplete information?


Did they use cell phone data to find the suspect they say they think planted the bombs on J5?

He tells me the cell phone data was corrupted.

Follow up questions about the corrupted cell phone data and the limited DNC video


Karlin Younger question.

Who to follow up with at the FBI?


The last two pages of my portion of the interview.

Transcribed interviews like this are not always released to the public. I want to thank Chairman Jordan and his staff for releasing this transcript.

Here’s my questioning of the ATF director about these pipe bombs:

Here’s my questioning of FBI Director Wray about the pipe bombs:

Here’s the video my staff and I discovered and subsequently released with the support of Kevin McCarthy:
