IMPORTANT: These 2 bombs didn't instagram their day on the 6th. So we have mostly focused on the rioters we can see. However.

What if they weren't discovered... and instead exploded and diverted officers & tactical teams away from the #Capitol at a predetermined moment.

2/ This was not lost on outgoing #CapitolPolice Chief Sund per @mateagold 👇

Was there a plan for the #Capitol that did not happen because nothing blew up?

I keep thinking about Anders Breivik, Norway's far-right terrorist.

Here's why.

3/ I don't know what the plan was, or if the devices were intended to be discovered. Either way they would be a diversion.

But I am haunted by how Breivik, a lone wolf, successfully diverted the authorities, then carried out a primary plan of mass murder.

4/ As I've worked on digging on the #Capitol footage I keep thinking:

- Someone seems to be able to recognize just about every item of clothing

- The bomb planter is at large

Conclusion, let's point our brains for a minute at the grainy new clues posted by the @FBI

5/ Last pics (I hope they post more) The @FBI has a reporting mechanism that I don't want people to be deflected from.

So, to report: fbi.gov/USCapitol

But if you recognize brands etc. of these items consider ALSO surfacing them. Let's see what we can do.

For the Capitol #Bombdropper, a shoe was called out prior to this thread. Caveats: grainy footage, few angles:

Moderate-high confidence: Nike Air Max Speed Turf
Low-moderate: specific colorway

Early spotted by @CjSmpls Thx @bjtitus for extra work.

Next? Backpack!
