January 6 pipe bomb case and a CIA employee named as a suspect
New questions are being raised about the unsolved January 6 pipe bomb case, and the timing looks bad for the FBI and CIA.
- A media report identified a former Capitol Police officer now working at CIA headquarters as the suspected pipe bomber.
- Another man was arrested and charged in the case almost immediately after that report came out.
- His family says investigators only turned toward him once the CIA connection became public.
- The person named in the report reportedly still holds a security clearance and works security at the agency.
Outlook: Expect more pressure on the FBI and CIA to explain the timeline, with the case likely to stay a political flashpoint.
