Michael Knowles believes the pipe bombs were likely planted by someone on the left, noting the behavior matches anarchist tendencies.

“It certainly matches Antifa's MM O, and I think that explains why this case has been unresolved for 5 years because I think even the left would have to admit in moments of cander that pipe bombs are not generally the instruments of the American right.”

Julie Kelly claims the arrest of the suspect is a welcome development and argues the case had previously been buried for political reasons.

“I mean, it's a welcome development in I think arguably the greatest unsolved mystery of January 6th, and that is who planted these devices apparently the night before.”
