Kamala Harris was less than 20ft from pipe bomb on Jan 6, report reveals

Vice President Kamala Harris was less than 20 feet from a “viable” pipe bomb on January 6, according to a new report from Homeland Security’s internal watchdog.

The Office of the Inspector General released its report on Friday detailing the Secret Service’s preparation for, and response to, the events of January 6, 2021. Five people died and hundreds were injured in the Capitol assault, where rioters aimed to prevent the certification of the election for President Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

Among the shocking revelations was that Harris, then vice president-elect, was within close range to a “viable” pipe bomb that Secret Security had missed in a security sweep.

“The pipe bomb had been placed near the [Democratic National Committee] building the night before”, the report states, but Secret Service personnel did not identify it during their security sweep on the morning of January 6.

We as a country need to understand that to these MAGA weirdos, violence is acceptable and even encouraged.

We also need to figure out what Trump broke in the Secret Service and fix it, because this shit is pure incompetence.

Wow. You’re just going to ignore George Soros’ role in all this?

What are you trying to cover up?

“NO!!! Not like that!”

It’s extremely obvious that Trump values loyalty over competence. I seem to remember that he gave key posts in White House security to the people who had been in his private security detail beforehand. People like Keith Schiller.

It would also not surprise me if he got to hand-pick his Secret Service detail to be people who he could get along with (i.e. people he felt were loyal). We may find out in a few years that Trump deliberately picked the most loyal ones, who also happened to be the most incompetent, and is partly responsible for their lapses. That is, if we’re allowed to. If Trump wins, he’s gonna take his Sharpie to all this and we’ll never find out how it all really went down.

aStonedSanta ,

Yeah. It shows his lack of intelligence too. Would you rather be protected by a yes man. Or… someone trained to fucking protect you that cares nothing about you and only about protecting their package. I’ll take option B 1000000% of the time. Thanks.

Diaper tyrant didn’t break anything that wasn’t already decades in the making of its decay by the very same fucknuts currently steering his slobbering ass around.

What part of that was an isolated event predicated in no part by consistent efforts to divide and diffuse the general public?

NABDad ,

I don’t understand what you’re asking or why.

CPAC had a banner that started “We are domestic terrorists”. They’re softening the word because they keep filling the role

grue ,

“Softening,” my ass! They simply mean it literally.

By the way, the banner said “we are all domestic terrorists.” No exceptions: every single CPAC attendee is literally a member of a terrorist organization.

JimVanDeventer ,

“Softening,” my ass!

Call me. 😉

I think calling them weirdos at that point does a disservice to weirdos. Someone setting up pipe bombs during an insurrection is a terrorist. Anyone supporting them is a terrorist as well… That makes MAGA a terrorist organization.

Also, here’s what Trump broke… It should be noted that Murray was involved in the investigation of the Jan 6th texts and emails that were deleted shortly before his retirement…

My personal opinion… Someone said “Walk away or this will get really messy for you.”

grue ,

I think calling them weirdos at that point does a disservice to weirdos.

Yeah, but (as a weirdo myself) I think we should take one for the team, since – weirdly, unlike “terrorist” – it actually manages to stick and piss them off.

capt_wolf ,
@capt_wolf@lemmy.world avatar

Correct, hit them wherever it hurts.

You’d think that being called a terrorist would be worse. However, I have read a lot that child-like insults actually hurt more than mature ones. We established them when we were children, so they’ve been with us longer and carry more emotional weight. So it’s technically more effective to call someone buttface instead of shithead.

Just look at their commander-in-cheetodust and his tendency to call his opponents names like “Sleepy Joe,” “Crazy Nancy,” or “Lying Kamala.”

Still unsure why the seditionists didn’t/aren’t getting stiffer penalties.

Points angrily at all of US history.

Our record on holding people accountable is abysmal. We certainly aren’t unique in that regard, but as context for this case the US has a history of being fine with violent white protestors and completely unhinged in response to minority protestors. Jan 6th matches that pattern.

They weren’t black people who could be working road maintenance crews. Genuinely the reason these people acted so entitled and stormed the capital after taking an L is because they felt like they were gonna get clemency. What you’re seeing now is that clemency. The lack of accountability in this nation created that raid. The lack of accountability in this nation is what’s following that raid.

Some insurrectionist attempted murderer is really kicking themselves right now.

Wouldn’t their knees be too sore to actually do that?

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Good point. And I could say ‘punching themselves in the face right now,’ but they’re probably already voting for Trump.

The pipe bomb that MTG planted?

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

You give her too much credit. If she tried to plant a pipe bomb, it would have blown up in her face.

xmunk ,

Didn’t it? I thought that was how she got her hairstyle.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

That would only explain it if the bomb had gone off. I think we need to explain her hairstyle on a complete lack of taste.

LEDZeppelin ,

Great job Homeland Security! What was the rush in disclosing this information? You waited for 3.5years, why not wait until next insurrection? Ted Cruz and rest of the repubes are already finishing the planning for next Trasonfest

JimmyBigSausage ,

After reading the article, it says there was a pipe bomb found earlier that sweep at the RNC also. It makes me wonder if beyond the MAGAts, there may be foreign interests involved here at the same time?

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Or the RNC one was just a decoy.

JimmyBigSausage ,

That’s not what the report said.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

How would they know whether or not it was a decoy unless they know who planted it?

A decoy is different from a dud.

I have few doubts that there were many plans aimed at agitation depending on the events of Jan. 6.

As much evidence as there is that we’re living in the Mirror Universe, there is ever the occasional reminder that it could have been even worse.

Drewski ,

Secret service about as useless as the TSA.

cynthorpe ,

Not as useless as a mob of republicans, apparently 🤗

nondescripthandle ,

Ever seen a TSA agent run somewhere? Of course you haven’t. I’m sure it happens, like winning the lottery happens, but I haven’t had the opportunity to witness either of those things happen.
