THREAD: DC Math > 1 + 1 = 2 or is it?
Kudos to the FBI on their quick action trying to locate the person responsible for the 2 pipe bombs in DC. Whew! What a close call, right?
My question is: What happened to the THIRD?

2) Here we can see these 2 devices were 'rendered safe'.
1. "on the grounds of the U.S. Capitol"
2. "at the Republican National Committee headquarters" https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/06/fbi-says-it-is-investigating-suspicious-devices-in-washington.html

2. "at the Republican National Committee headquarters" https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/06/fbi-says-it-is-investigating-suspicious-devices-in-washington.html
3) So we have:
1. US Capitol
2. RNC
Why does the wanted poster mention the devices found at the RNC and the DNC but not the US Capitol?
Why does the article above mention the ones found at US Capitol and RNC, but not the DNC?

11) Sure looks like 'someone' got their wires crossed on the 4am talking points.
[They] want you scared. FEAR is their weapon.
If the THIRD device magically disappeared like a tasty lucky charm, did the other two even exist?
