To see if there is a connection? Well, they may look into whether the owner of the truck is the brother of the guy that planted the bombs, but to see if there is a connection is like checking to see if there is a connection between day and night.
Better write "how they are connected". Not if.

McConnell just called them thugs and Pence sounded downright presidential.
Oh absolutely. The GOP is trying to figure out on the fly the way to revive their comatose body. It's been dying, but it flatlined today and they need quick work to revive. You've got Pence doing presidential stuff so it looks like there's a leader in this administration, the National Security Advisor praising him for bravery or courage or something. A Rep already said she'd no longer support the objection to the election earlier. Rand Paul is saying no one is going to give a real objection anymore. Loeffler just rescinded her objection. Hawley's hometown paper is saying he's got blood on his hands. There will be more, this is definitely just the beginning. As the dust settles and blame is being heaped on the GOP and Fox News and everyone else involved, the GOP is trying to figure out a way to survive this.

From around the world. Italy:
“This is the widely anticipated outcome of Trumpism,” tweeted a retired Italian center-left politician, Pierluigi Castagnetti. “And unfortunately it won’t end today. When politics is replaced by deception and fanaticism of the people the drift is inevitable.”

Definitely starting to think that Pence and the Cabinet will come together to enforce the 25th Amendment in the next 72 hours and not even wait for a possible impeachment. Calls are growing about the danger he poses to leave him in for another 2 weeks. According to sources inside the WH, It seems that even on a crazy scale, he's taken a deeper dip into the unhinged pool.

Pence has ambitions to be president in the future. He and the people around him would have to be the dumbest village idiots to ever exist to not know that Gerald Ford didn't have a shot in hell at reelection because of the Nixon pardon. He'll promise the pardon and then not hand it out to him or his children once he is sworn in and be done with him.

I don't know. He has been so spineless throughout his tenure. He has been insulted, defiled, abused, and yet he still sits there, like a little choir boy.
I hope you are right and he has a bit more of an elaborate plan, but he also understands something: take the president out, and he is a marked man for the rest of his life. He goes down in history, either for good or for bad, but he immediately gains 75 MM deranged enemies. And that is no small issue.
