Dec 7

Secondly, is it not true that the pipe bombs created a diversion that attracted many Capitol Police officers away from the scene of the break-in. If so, then it was related to January 6th.

Also, those who pardoned for seditious conspiracy did not conspire on January 6. The conspiracy started before that. This strengthens the pipe bomber’s case for pardon.

Good point but this could be "related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021" ToxMarz Dec 6 #8

The January 6th part is unambiguous. W_HAMILTON Dec 6 #13

Yes, related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021. ToxMarz Dec 6 #14
