Without jumping to conclusions, this is a strange coincident. Is someone trying to kill two birds with one stone?

If you don't get caught up in the noise of the media, you'll notice a few more things. The far-right Oath Keepers has been patrolling major cities with heavy weapons for weeks. They were present in numbers at the Capitol, but without weapons.

You find photos of the arrested vandals but strangely enough not of the one 70-year-old who allegedly had a truck full of weapons. And at least I couldn't find an image of that truck. But the old man was apparently very talkative to the police.

The most questionable aspect, however, is the FBI's search for a person who was apparently caught on a surveillance camera the previous night.
At that time, it was possible to predict a mass gathering, but not the riot.

According to the FBI, this man is suspected of having placed two pipe bombs. The published image gives very little information but it may have been taken at the rear of the RNC building. (Incidentally, the 70-year-old's car was also parked on that street).

The strange thing is that he placed these pipe bombs near the RNC building and near the DNC building, which is hard to fit with a political motivation of the suspected groups.

Just as the rioting began - around 1pm - "multiple law enforcement agencies" got a call regarding the RNC bomb and 15 minutes later regarding the DNC bomb. It doesn't sound at all like someone found these bombs by accident after they had already been placed during the night.

But what is striking is that both bombs have a fusing mechanism with a 60-minute timer (like a microwave timer). If someone had wanted them to explode, they would have gone off at sunrise at the latest. But they didn't. Neither did anyone pick them up to cover his tracks.

This makes these bombs highly suspicious that they were placed to connect them to the expected gathering of people. That would of course be politically much more explosive than the damage that these bombs could have caused especially at night time in a place without passers-by.
