The bomb was found at RNC headquarters, a few blocks away from the Capitol, not the Capitol itself.

[An article I read said] There was an additional bomb also found on the Capitol grounds.

Obviously this is a developing situation. And the details don’t actually matter to my point. Clear and present evidence to commit acts of domestic terrorism was available, and people were still allowed to loiter and vandalize as they pleased.

No, the DNC (well, it’s speculated).

Not a bomb per se, but there was someone near the Capitol with materials for Molotov cocktails.

Bottles and fuel? Isn’t the whole city full of people in possession of such materials? The whole country, even?

Those may be common items to have in cabinets at home. They're not common items to take along for a walk in the park, or a tour of a monument.
