WATCH : NEW J6 FOOTAGE RELEASED
Newly released footage shows the discovery of the pipe bo mb that was planted outside the Democratic National Committee building on January 5, 2021, just hours before the eIection certification protests.
The strange footage captures a shockingIy nonchalant reaction from Secret Service and D.C. Metro Police personnel, with officers milling about despite the nature of the threat.
The seven-minute clip, which was released by U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), was broken down in a lengthy X thread by Revolver News founder Darren Beattie. Around the 1:05 minute mark, a man in a backpack can be seen approaching a D.C. Metro Police SUV before informing them of the pipe bo mb’s presence, which was found next to a bench outside the building.
According to previous reporting from Blaze Media reporter Steve Baker, the man with the backpack has been identified as a pIainclothes Capitol Police officer.
A black Secret Service SUV was parked directly next to the D.C. Metro Police SUV as well, as then Vice President-elect Kamala Harris at the DNC building at the time of the bo mb’s discovery.

After being informed of a pipe bo mb feet away, the metro PD authorities (who are technically on the secret service detail) take over a minute before they even bother getting out of their car! Beattie noted on X.
Both Secret Service and D.C. Metro Police personnei could then be seen standing around in a casual manner despite the fact that a supposed bo mb was just discovered. There’s absolutely zero concern for their own safety, or that of their protectee—VP Kamala Harris, Beattie wrote.
