Anyone I told it looked like a female in the video. I usually got, "No woman would do anything like that." OR "That video is faked."

Just so everyone is on the same page, the allegation is that almost every video the FBI initially released was edited, be it frame rate or resolution…..

Is anything going to actually come of all this ?

Sure, there will be congressional dog and pony shows, er… I mean hearings.

This particular investigation was a personal crusade of Dan Bongino. I'm pretty confident something will actually come of this, to include prosecution(s) by the DOJ.

^^^^ Don’t forget, Bongino and Patel were adamant about releasing the Epstein file, then Bongino threatened to resign when it wasn’t. And what happened since? Cricket. Bongino might have a big sounding title (Deputy Director of The FBI) with a “personal crusade”, but he cannot just up and investigate and bring charge without the go ahead from higher up. Like you, I would love nothing more than seeing all these maggots get prosecuted, convicted and rot in prison, but I’ll believe it when I see it.

In addition to the actual bomber, I'm envisioning a widespread conspiracy that ensnares multiple high level bad actor maggots at three letter .gov agencies, both current and former. Such 'Airtight Cases' take a little more time than we would like, but good things come to those who wait!

Those pipe bombs were so cartoonishly over the top they were probably built by Wiley Coyote. The only thing they were missing is A.C.M.E. stenciled on the side.

Thing is, none of the information currently being discussed came from dot gov, it’s all coming from various reporters and government whistleblowers. You don’t get charges until the FBI/DOJ gets involved with investigations, grand juries, and indictments. Part of the story is that the FBI has been deliberately slow walking everything connected to this part of the J6 “investigation”.

Unless someone can point me to it, I haven’t seen any statements or acknowledgments from Patel or Bongino. As a matter of fact, Kyle Seraphin made a point of noting Patel was overseas when Bakers last article was released.

^^ The FBI does NOT typically make public statements/acknowledgements re: such investigations. I think we need to be patient here...Just Sayin'

I get that, but I'm not sure anyone has even asked them. Meanwhile the MSM likely won't even cover this unless or until they are forced to, but they'll lay into them over all things Epstein. It's all about narratives, and the pipe bomber case has pretty good potential to reshape that narrative.

Baker dropped his 1st story on this a week ago. It shouldn't take much for any reporter to at least ask someone if they have heard about a story or had an opinion on it. Then they can provide their boilerplate answer.

So, they arrested the J6 pipe bomber, and it's not that former Capitol female cop.

Brian Cole named as Virginia 'anarchist' accused of planting pipe bombs outside US Capitol on eve of January 6 riots

By WILL POTTER, US SENIOR NEWS REPORTER
PUBLISHED: 08:38 EST, 4 December 2025 | UPDATED: 10:48 EST, 4 December 2025

The FBI has arrested a Virginia 'anarchist' suspect named Brian Cole in connection with several pipe bombs laid near Capitol Hill on the eve of the January 6, 2021 riots.

Cole was identified as the suspect on Thursday morning - as sources told MS Now has been linked to support for anarchist ideologies.

The suspect has been charged with laying explosives outside the Democratic and Republican National Committee headquarters, which did not detonate.

Cole is a resident of Woodbridge, Virginia, and he was arrested in the early hours of Thursday morning. The exact charges are not yet clear, and Cole is expected in court later Thursday.

The arrest marks the first major breakthrough in the five-year investigation that had baffled the agency and sparked a wave of conspiracy theories.

It comes weeks after the FBI offered a $500,000 reward for leads to identify the suspect, when authorities shared previously unreleased footage of the perp stalking the streets of Washington DC the night before the infamous riots.

However, the arrest was reportedly not the result of a new breakthrough in the investigation, but came after the FBI reviewed existing evidence it had collected in 2021 and 2022.

Law enforcement sources said that Cole's arrest may cause embarrassment for the FBI because the suspect could have been arrested years ago if investigators had pieced together existing evidence.

In the surveillance footage from the plot, video showed the hooded suspect setting down a backpack on South Capitol Street, before putting on glasses and scanning their surroundings for witnesses and walking off.

The suspect then walked to the nearby DNC headquarters, where a bomb was placed at 7:54pm.

Surveillance then showed the suspect walking to the RNC headquarters and placing a bomb at 8:16pm, and he was last seen on video two minutes later - leaving investigators baffled over their true identity.

The suspect wore a face mask, glasses, a grey hooded sweatshirt, gloves, and black and light grey Nike Air Max Speed Turf shoes with a yellow logo.

The explosive devices planted outside the two buildings in the Capitol Hill neighborhood were located the next day, just hours before hordes of Donald Trump supporters descended on Washington DC to protest the 2020 election results.

US Capitol Police and agents from the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were first called to the RNC's office at 12.45pm on January 6.

About 30 minutes later, as the agents and bomb technicians were still investigating at the RNC, another call came in for a similar explosive device found at the DNC headquarters nearby.

The bombs were rendered safe, and no one was hurt.

Officials said the homemade bombs were constructed out of threaded galvanized pipes, kitchen timers and homemade black powder.

The pipe bomb plot spawned numerous conspiracy theories as the case remained unsolved for years, including last month as conservative social media commentators falsely claimed the FBI had identified a former Capitol Police officer as the suspect.

The claims said that the female police officer was identified using 'gait analysis', and the former officer's attorney said that the accusations were 'recklessly false, absurd, and defamatory.'

While the arrest could cause embarrassment for investigators who failed to identify the suspect for years, it is likely to be lauded by the Trump White House after it poured new resources into the case earlier this year.

In particular, Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino has often spoke of his desire to solve the case, including previously speculating that it may have been an 'inside job.'

The hunt for the suspect was one of the largest in FBI history, and investigators struggled for years to piece together evidence collected in the chaotic aftermath of the January 6 riots.

This included subpoenaing box store retailers for credit card data to find customers who bought specific kinds of battery connectors used to manufacture the bombs.

Agents tracked down purchasers of the battery connectors to those whose phones were locate near the DNC and RNC headquarters at the time the bombs were planted, but the FBI found there was no credible match.

So...what's his background and who funded him?

Finally. Solid news.

Well, alrighty then....

“2) For 9 months, the "new" FBI had their thumbs up their asses”
A moronic statement.

And once again, if this guy was “funded” or was otherwise influenced by some evil group, why didn’t the group ensure that the effort wasn’t so pathetically amateurish‽

My late father in law was scammed. We took it to an FBI agent that I had met at party my brother had. Guy was nice, professional, and very clear that information goes into the FBI, it doesn’t go out. If we needed a report for insurance, contact the local police.

Funded him for what?

I do not know about the gait match, but I find it hard to believe that the bomb components have not been traced back to a source that confirms the builder. Very few people are smart enough or have enough knowledge to utilize components that cannot be traced easily. Ted Kaczynski was one of the rare exceptions I recall.

The components can be obtained in most hardware stores. Black powder is sold in Walmart. And the pipe? Anywhere.

Funded him for what, mrprovy?

I imagine the feds will hit him with so much, he'll end up taking a plea deal and spend at least some time in federal prison.

I read somewhere that it was homemade black powder.
