SEAN HANNITY (HOST): Fake news CNN: “Pipe bombs found near the Capitol January 6th were placed there the night before, FBI says.” Well hang on a second, well doesn't that take the narrative that it was the rally where Donald Trump said, "I know many of you will peacefully, patriotically march to the Capitol so your voices will be heard." 

I thought -- I thought Donald Trump incited this "insurrection"?

...

And now that we know the pipe bombs are found near the Capitol, believed to have been placed the night before according to the FBI -- well, that means that they planned it. They orchestrated it and that it wasn't directly connected in any way. It was planned ahead of time.
