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?


Image
Image
Image
Image
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.

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

Before a jOuRnALiSm writes a story that I’m promoting conspiracy theories,

my point is that even official government outlets can sometimes print fake news in the fog of war.

Don’t believe everything you see during war, because truth is the first casualty.

Try to verify.

🧵 Four graphs of deficit impact of BBB.

First graph shows the deficit impact of BBB passing vs a baseline of doing nothing. The BBB adds $500 billion to the deficit each year for the next three years and never lowers the deficit, compared to letting 2017 TCJA (tax cuts) expire. Image
Second graph: “But wait, we will get some additional tax revenue due to a booming economy that booms every year for ten years! Include that in the graph.”

Ok, this one just adds $400 billion to the deficit every year for the next three years. Two elections from now, it looks OK! Image
Third graph: “Wait, we should have known 2017 tax cuts would be made permanent in 2025, so don’t count their cost! Um, but do count tips, overtime, and seniors tax cuts toward deficit and say they expire in 3 years!”

This gimmickry still adds billions to deficit for next 3 yrs. Image

🧵 Last night Trump endorsed the idea of eliminating the Department of Education!

On February 7th, 2017, the US Senate confirmed Betsy DeVos as Trump’s Secretary of Education.

Purposefully, on that same day, I introduced HR 899, a bill to terminate the Department of Education.
Image
Image
🧵 I remember meeting Betsy DeVos for the first time at the White House Christmas party and that uncomfortable moment when I told her I was trying to eliminate her department.

To my surprise she quietly agreed.

She said publicly this week she would eliminate the department! Image
🧵 I have reintroduced this bill each Congress, and I have taken care that it is always designated as HR 899.

Many people like that my bill is only one sentence long. No beating around the bush.

Perhaps my colleagues can take time to read it! Image

#EndTheFed 🧵 :

Americans are suffering under crippling inflation, and the Federal Reserve is largely to blame.

During COVID, the Federal Reserve created trillions of dollars out of thin air and loaned it to the Treasury Department to enable unprecedented deficit spending.
🧵 By monetizing the debt, the Fed devalued the dollar and enabled free money policies that caused the high inflation we see today.

Monetizing debt is a closely coordinated effort between the White House, the Fed, Treasury Department, Congress, Big Banks, and Wall Street.
🧵 Americans see their savings and wages evaporate due to the actions of our central bank pursuing inflationary policies that benefit the wealthy and connected.

If we really want to reduce inflation, the most effective policy is to end the Federal Reserve
