Washington, D.C. – FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino has made a stunning move, ordering the removal of the entire January 6th D.C. pipe bomber investigative team and replacing them with a new squad tasked with questioning previously ignored suspects, per a post by @JohnBasham on X. The announcement, made on May 15, 2025, at 07:58 UTC, has conservatives on X cheering: “Bongino’s finally taking action—Trump’s influence is cleaning up the FBI!”
The image accompanying the post shows the pipe bomb suspect, a hooded figure in a grey sweatshirt, carrying a backpack near a trash bin on a wet, cobblestone street, captured on January 5, 2021, between 7:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. EST near the DNC and RNC offices. Despite a $500,000 reward offered by the FBI and ATF for information leading to the suspect’s conviction, the case has remained unsolved for over four years, per fbi.gov. Bongino’s decision to overhaul the investigation, ordering a fresh team to pursue clear leads, marks a significant shift, especially after criticism of the FBI’s handling of high-profile cases under previous leadership.

Conservatives are optimistic. “Bongino’s shaking things up—about time the FBI got serious!” wrote one user on X. Another added, “Trump’s team is getting results—Biden’s FBI let this drag on too long!” Bongino, a former NYPD officer and Secret Service agent, brings a law-and-order approach, aligning with Trump’s broader agenda—88,763 deportations since January and a 99% drop in illegal border crossings. The move comes amid other FBI controversies, with some on X speculating a cover-up, per user replies like “Coverup?” from @wmarino9872.
The image, set against a dimly lit street with parked cars, captures the suspect’s elusive nature, but Bongino’s bold action signals a renewed commitment to justice. As the investigation ramps up, conservatives see this as proof that Trump’s administration is unafraid to tackle even the most stubborn cases, ensuring America’s safety and accountability at the highest levels.
