The pipe bombs found on January 6th were inert training devices rather than real explosives.

Um, but let's be like really clear: the fake, inert nature of the pipe bomb itself and the pipe bombs. I said that the first time that I've ever spoken about it. Whenever I first, this is going back years ago, I've, you know, I've been doing this out loud now for about three years and change. I first did my public interview in September of 22. So, you can basically do three years in a couple. Like, whenever I first started talking about the pipe bombs, the understanding that I had from a couple of days after January 6th was looked very bomb-like, but inert. That's what I was briefed when we were doing a follow-up of a person that was of interest to the FBI. So, my team was doing surveillance. And the reason I asked was, Hey, is this a real bomb? Because I wanted to know how close can my team get to this person if we're holding surveillance? Are we looking at somebody who might blow themselves up or blow the place up? What's our security posture need to be? What's our perimeter distance that we want to hold? And so, you want to know those things. And so, I asked, and they were very open about it. They were like, Yeah, it looked very bomb-like, inert devices. They didn't use the word training devices, but that's probably what we assume they were.
