Very interesting summary of the alleged J6 pipe bomber's interrogation in this filing: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.287328/gov.uscourts.dcd.287328.17.0.pdf
A couple observations:
- Friends don't let friends plant pipe bombs, but if you somehow find yourself accused of doing so, please shut up and ask for a lawyer before waving your Miranda rights.
- The recipe for the homemade powder came from a video game(!). He does not appear to have tested it.
- The bombs were duds, but still, holy crap.

- The photos of the pipe bombs are exactly what you think pipe bombs would look like, complete with wires coming out of them and a kitchen timer. They were just out in the open, and they don't appear to have been concealed inside a bag or anything. Anyone who saw them would very likely run and call the cops.
- Apparently recently discovered cell phone records (held by the feds) were instrumental in identifying the suspect.
