A man believed to be police placed a bag thought to contain a pipe bomb near the DNC building on January 6 only 15 minutes before another police officer "found" it, according to newly discovered footage.

Julie Kelly of Real Clear Investigations tweeted a screenshot of the footage.

NEW: Recently discovered video from Jan 6 shows an individual believed to be police carrying a bag toward the location where "pipe bomb" was found at DNC.

This is about 15 minutes before another officer "discovered" the device.

"Another shady moment in this unsolved "mystery," she said.

What really happened?

Kelly and others clearly believe that there was some kind of conspiracy around the pipe bombs. For them, the footage explains why police and bomb-sniffing dogs didn't find the device as well as the one planted near the RNC.

The FBI has theorized that the devices were planted the night before, but they have not found the person who they say planted them in more than three years.

Kelly also posted footage on X of bomb-sniffing dogs in the area where the bomb was later found on the morning of January 6.

"The FBI has told the public for 3+ years that the J5/6 “pipe bomber” planted the devices the night before," she wrote. "FBI brass insisted pipe bombs were viable—with black power—and deadly. So how did bomb sniffing canine miss DNC “bomb” just a few feet away at 9:50am?"

Questions and speculation

The video does raise questions but doesn't actually prove that the bag the man carried had a pipe bomb in it.

There is no footage of the man placing a pipe bomb or any object at the site where the bomb was later found.

But that hasn't stopped people from speculating that the pipe bombs were an inside job by the police--although there has not been much speculation about why police would do it.

If police were behind the bomb placement, they either wanted to create chaos on behalf of Trump or to make his supporters look bad.

The footage makes a credible story, but a credible story isn't necessarily true just because it's credible.

We may never know for sure what really happened or why someone would want to target both the RNC and DNC with bombs on that fateful day.
