Family of Pipe Bomb Suspect Brian Cole Breaks Silence — Issues FIRST Statement After Explosive Arrest
thegatewaypundit.com ^ | Dec. 4, 2025 | Jim Hᴏft

Posted on 12/05/2025 4:41:49 AM PST by V_TWIN

The suspect’s grandmother, Loretta, told The New York Post: “He’s almost autistic-like because he doesn’t understand a lot of stuff. I hope he is not talking.” She also alleged: “He’s very naive…He would not hurt a fly. He’s just not that kind of person. I don’t believe this at all. He’s not a terrorist.”

The grandmother told The Post that Cole works for the family’s bail bondsman company, “Brian Cole Bail Bonds.” She added that he also worked for DoorDash for a time. “He doesn’t have any ties to DC,” she added. “I don’t even know how they included him in this.”

The suspect’s step-grandfather, Earl Donnette, “said in a brief phone call to NBC News that he spoke with the FBI about his step-grandson,” the network reported. However, Donnette declined to make additional comment, NBC News reported, and Brian Cole Sr., Cole’s dad, declined to make any comment at all, NBC News reported.

“He would not hurt a fly”.

He wasn’t out to kill flies; just people. Lock him up and throw the keys away.

The grandmother said he might be a few slices short of of full loaf and the neighbors suggest he is a loner. He could be somewhere on the Asperger spectrum..

“I’m suspecting he’s been set up to take the fall.”

That seems to be a recurring idea on FR today.

Personally, I’m dubious.

This. Having worked with young people on the spectrum, I’ve seen a lot.

This is a problem in the country.

You really are that ignorant that you do not get the connection between Israel and the us? I always thought creepers were smarter.. I guess I was wrong.

I have an alibi too!

I have a video of me playing poker with dogs AND Abraham Lincoln in the Cafe Americaine in Casablanca!

HAS to be Thoeory #2 as you say.

Like who has a video of themselves playing with dogs (also assuming date/time stamped) that just happens to be at the same time the dirty deeds were being performed? What are the odds?

If the info in the charges is correct, he seems to know between right and wrong by spreading out purchases over time and different locations.

Timestamps can be easily faked. Just the fact that she has video of her dogs with timestamps and that it was so readily available 5 years later is itself suspicious, and it comes out moments after she’s accused, when it usually takes much longer to exonerate people falsely accused when it’s not one of their own.

People who have Aspergers can be brilliant in one mental area and childlike in others. Just like Rainman.
He may not relate well to the average person.

One of my sons friends is like this. He was always a strange child. Yet he finished as the Salutatorian of his high school class. Went to WPI for robotics. Yet, he can’t get a girl friend to save his life(he is not gay). He is now a 28 year old strange dude.

Look at the Unibomer, Ted Kazinski, went to Harvard but ended up in a one room cabin in MT. Sending out bombs in the mail.

I could see this guy bunking in the same place where the guy who shot Reagan ended up.

Per the Daily Wire, his father had lost an appeal against the Trump administration shortly before the bombs were planted. His father’s company sued the administration complaining they were losing money when illegals they posted bail for, failed to show. But, honestly, I think the grandmother has more credibility. /s

The forensics are locked in.
Someone used his credit card to purchase necessary components
Somebody assembled the pipe bombs
Someone drove his car into DC and parked near the DNC
Someone had his cellphone, which pinged cell towers that matched surveillance videos.

Someone would have coached and enabled his efforts.
RICO

There was a computer guy in our department that had it. I could walk by him in the hallway and just get a blank stare when I said hello. When I knocked on his door to talk business he was totally normal...

Your comment reminds me of the Lindbergh baby kidnapping where they rounded up a complete mental imbecile and executed him for something he was totally incapable of doing. Or so one documentary I watched put it.
