A new Blaze News investigation has ignited fury across the country by reporting that a former U.S. Capitol Police officer has been forensically linked to the long-unsolved Jan. 5 pipe-bomb placements through gait-analysis software. The report says the forensic comparison was compelling enough that multiple intelligence sources reviewed the material and concurred that the match is highly probable.
According to follow-up coverage, the analyst who ran the comparison told investigators the algorithm produced a 94 percent match and that visual review pushed the similarity into the mid-to-high 90s, pointing to a former officer identified in multiple outlets as Shauni Rae Kerkhoff. Those sensational findings, if accurate, answer a question Americans have waited years to hear: who tried to draw dangerous chaos into our capital the night before a peaceful transfer of power.
Former FBI special agent and whistleblower Kyle Seraphin, who worked on the original pipe-bomb inquiries, tells Blaze and other outlets that his team was getting close to a key lead before being inexplicably pulled off the case — an allegation that, to any decent patriot, smells like a cover-up. Seraphin says he did surveillance next door to the address later identified in the investigation and believes the bureau was deliberately steered away from the trail.
Federal authorities, predictably, are scrambling to control the narrative: the FBI insisted the investigation remains open and reiterated the $500,000 reward for information, while the Department of Justice has said it has not officially identified the person named in press reports. That official-sounding statement won’t calm the millions of Americans who rightly demand transparency — not bland reassurances — when explosive devices were placed within sight of our lawmakers.
Congressional Republicans have spent months warning that the FBI’s pipe-bomb investigation has sputtered and that critical leads went cold without explanation, a reality that grows more troubling in light of these new revelations. House oversight reports and GOP investigators have repeatedly said the bureau has failed to provide meaningful updates, and now the American people deserve answers: who pulled agents off the case, and why were so many doors left unopened?
Beyond the identity questions, whistleblowers and some technical personnel have said the devices themselves may have been inoperable — another fact that demands close scrutiny and honest testimony under oath. If the pipe bombs were never capable of detonating, then Americans must know whether this was a training episode gone off the books or a deliberate, deceptive operation to manipulate security responses; either scenario is intolerable.
Patriots should not be satisfied with media whisperings and anonymous sources; we need congressional subpoenas, sworn transcribed interviews of every officer on scene, full disclosure of all surveillance footage, and protections for the whistleblowers who risk everything to tell the truth. If agencies of the federal government were even tangentially involved in staging or covering up events that put public safety at risk, there must be swift accountability — and it must be the kind that restores trust in the institutions charged with protecting America.
This moment is patriotic, not partisan: honest conservatives and honest Americans demand the truth because our Republic depends on it. Let every member of Congress who swore an oath to the Constitution show backbone, call witnesses, and deliver answers — because the alternative is letting a culture of secrecy and favoritism erode what little faith remains in federal law enforcement.
