Brian Cole Jr., 30, will make an initial appearance in DC federal court Friday afternoon to be formally arraigned on charges of transporting explosives across state lines with intent to kill, injure and cause damage and attempted malicious destruction by means of explosive materials.

“Who is going to ensure the dems continue to take down this country? You president trump or you att gen Bondi. You need me delivering bombs. You want me delivering bombs. I am home 365 days a year available to deliver bombs. So in answer to your questions you are damn right I did.”

Exactly what did he think he was doing, setting bombs outside of both Party conventions?

Was it all just to create mutual chaos, so he could stand in the shadows ‘watching the world burn down’, like The Joker in The Dark Knight? Sick and sad.

PSY-Ops

False Flaggery

here we are nitpicking over a distraction designed to cover up another attrocity commited by the FBI

it was a stolen election and J6 was a part of the coverup

the FIB is responsible for this alleged "pipe bomb"

What intent to kill, injure and cause destruction?

The bombs were non-functional. IIRC, all the components of a bomb but very obviously not hooked up right.

Which is how the cops treated them.

No one. There was no new tip since the reward was offered.

He’d better cough up a LOT of details that can be cross-checked. Such as description of the funky shoes, where and when he acquired them, where they are now, etc. Who he was communicating with. Who put him up to it. Where the bomb-planing idea came from and when. When he first started thinking about bombs and why. Did he test a bomb? Where/when? Who else knew? Prior contact with the FBI or other feds or political folks? I hope he is spilling all the dirt rather than giving them a memorized set of lies.

Do we know why the Capitol police were so mellow with the situation, and why the cell phone data just happened to be “corrupted” for this one and only case? Do we have a good reason to understand why there wasn’t a huge manhunt for the bomber during the potato presidency?

A Trump loving MAGA white man! Or was it a MAGA white female. We’ll have to refer back to professional news people like Jake Tapper.

Saw a story on Yahoo saying he was upset that the 2020 election was stolen. Hmm
