Two squad cars with emergency lights on were at the RNC alley entrance as the hoodied suspect planted the pipe bomb.

Capitol Police officers met the hoodie-wearing person suspected of planting a pipe bomb near the Republican National Committee office during the alleged bomb-drop operation but did not detain or arrest the person, Blaze News has learned.

Despite apparently having the suspect next to two squad cars for nearly three minutes on Jan. 5, 2021, the officers did not detain or arrest the alleged bomber and allowed the person to go back to the crime scene and ostensibly finish the alleged bomb drop, previously undisclosed security video shows.

Apparent police interactions with the bomber were never disclosed by Capitol Police or the FBI, which has failed to identify the suspect despite nearly 44 months of investigation and a $500,000 reward.

The bombshell video was discovered and assembled by social media user “Armitas,” who shared the findings exclusively with Blaze News. Armitas asked to remain anonymous. Blaze News has confirmed the individual’s findings using Capitol Police CCTV files made public over the past several months by the Committee on House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight.
