U.S. Capitol Police learned of the discovery of two pipe bombs on Capitol Hill around the same time, just before 1 p.m. ET that Wednesday. Capitol Police responded to one bomb discovered by an RNC staff member at the organization’s office, just a few blocks from the Capitol. Metropolitan Police Department officers responded to a second pipe bomb that was spotted outside the nearby Democratic National Committee headquarters. Each department sent officers to respond, hurting the Capitol Police’s ability to secure the Capitol since MPD was called to the Capitol minutes after the bombs were discovered.

“That resulted in the evacuation of two congressional buildings, the Cannon House Office Building, as well as one of the Library of Congress buildings. So it took extensive resources,” then-Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund said in a joint hearing before the Senate Rules Committee and Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Tuesday afternoon.

“So the assault on the Capitol is not what caused the evacuations of those buildings? The discovery of those pipe bombs is what caused the evacuations of those?” asked Republican Oklahoma Sen. James Lankford.

“That is correct,” said Sund.

Already knew about the pipe bombs Antifa planted the night before as part of their plan to fake an insurrection.

So let the people inside, then drop some “suspicious packages” to justify an evacuation. How perfectly premeditated.

When liars are talking, you shouldn't expect them to speak the truth.

Why does the evacuation of the cannon building and LoC even matter?

I've never heard anyone say that the assault on the Capitol caused the evacuation of a different building.

If it was a fake insurrection staged by Antifa, why do Republicans oppose the investigation into it?

Would you want a kangaroo court investigating you?

I would think Republican would be eager to investigate Antifa storming the US Capitol.

Unless someone is lying about it being Antifa.

Its gateway pundit. Making republicans look like idiots since it’s inception. We all know it was a faked insurrection but GP takes this and twists it to make it sound like something damming and people jump right on it.

Due to the partiality of the "investigators".

It's not an investigation into the matter that the right is concerned about, but the partisanship of the investigators that aren't concerned with the truth, but scoring political points and destroying political enemies. In other words, corruption.

Why was Capitol Police responding to RNC HQ? Shouldn’t they stay, I dunno, at the Capitol?

DC is a bureaucratic nightmare, so it’s probably something akin to Vatican Police and the Swiss Guard.
