The Spin

Establishment-critical narrative

If, in fact, highly accurate advanced gait recognition software has identified a former Capitol Police officer as the planter of the pipe bombs, this could be the biggest scandal in American history — a coordinated inside job that the FBI has covered up for over four years. It seems as though the Deep State needed to frame Trump supporters as domestic terrorists to cement the certification of their stolen 2020 election. The cover-up is finally collapsing.

Pro-establishment narrative

The Blaze Media report fits too neatly into a pre-existing narrative, offering convenient confirmation for those predisposed to see a government conspiracy. Its claims rely on unverified gait analysis, anonymous intelligence sources, and Baker's reporting, which has repeatedly proven false or misleading. The DOJ explicitly denies that Kerkhoff is a suspect, and a separate federal employee source says they do not believe she was involved.
