Those Jan 6 pipe bombs.

Earlier this month, an FBI whistleblower told the Washington Times the FBI identified the vehicle the suspect entered shortly after planting the bombs but has not pursued the individual.
“The FBI had surveillance video that showed the person entering a car with a visible license plate after exiting a Metro stop in Northern Virginia,” the Times reported.
Kyle Seraphin, a former FBI agent who worked on the case, told the paper that the agency “tied whoever the person was that dropped the bombs with [surveillance] cameras all the way through the train and getting into a car with that license plate.” Seraphin also told the Washington Times that the two bombs were inoperable.
“One former FBI assistant director observed, ‘[i]t just doesn’t add up … there’s just too much to work with to not know who this guy is,'” the Judiciary Republicans wrote.
Now lawmakers are seeking answers over the status of the investigation. Julie Kelly, a senior writer at American Greatness, wrote in February last year that the pipe bomb incident possesses the markings of “another FBI hoax.”
“As the FBI successfully rounded up hundreds of Capitol trespassers using sophisticated tools such as geofence warrants, the trail of the pipe bomber went cold,” Kelly reported, despite federal law enforcement having posted a $50,000 reward, which they later increased to half a million dollars. “Given what we know about the FBI’s politically motivated malfeasance during the Trump era, the likelihood the pipe bomb story was another FBI hoax instead of a legitimate threat becomes more conceivable each day.”

I wouldn't put it past them to run a false flag op with an informant. That's a two-fer. The stooge gets street cred within his organization, making him more valuable and the FBI gets public opinion on their side for whatever rights violations or FISA warrants they feel they need to do.
