It doesn't say crimes or offenses that occured on Jan 6, it is offenses related to events that happened then. And the pipe bombs were found in Jan 6, that was an event that happened in Jan 6. The bombs were likely intended to coincide with the Stop the steal protest event of Jan 6.

That he be may covered is a valid argument, I don't think its unambiguous.
