BACK IN NOVEMBER, the conservative media outlet the Blaze claimed that reporter Steve Baker had the scoop of the century: compelling evidence that the pipe bombs planted outside Republican and Democratic headquarters on January 6th were laid by a Capitol Police officer. Blaze founder Glenn Beck declared it would be "the biggest scandal of my lifetime, maybe in the last hundred years." Republican members of Congress like Anna Paulina Luna and Thomas Massie championed the story, saying it was proof the deep state was behind January 6th. The story quickly fizzled.
