The 30-year-old Virginia man accused of planting pipe bombs near Capitol Hill on the eve of the January 6, 2021 riots is an autistic recluse and ‘computer nerd’ who has no party affiliation, his grandmother told the Daily Mail on Friday.
Brian Cole confessed and told his FBI interrogators that he is a Trump supporter and holds anarchist views, MSNOW reported citing unnamed sources.
But Loretta, his grandmother, said Cole has no party affiliation and never votes.
Rather, he keeps to himself, living in his mother’s basement in Woodbridge, Virginia, where he’s been grieving the loss of his beloved pet chihuahua, while working a data entry job for his family’s bail bonds business.
‘He’s not politically affiliated with anything,’ the grandmother told the Daily Mail during an interview at her home in Gainesville, Virginia. 'He has no social media contacts. He’s never online going back and forth with politics or anything like that. He says he don’t like either party.
'He’s borderline autistic,’ she added. 'He’s slow. He may be 30, but he’s got the mind of a 16-year-old. That’s why we’re thinking - What the hell? What’s going on?’
- snip -
She said she doesn’t believe the charges.
'This young man is very calm and quiet,' she said. 'He just stays to himself. Nobody bothers him because he doesn’t bother anybody.
'He doesn’t have a girlfriend,’ she added. 'That’s how slow he is. He’s just off in a little world on his own. He stays downstairs and he used to be with his dog all the time.'

Um, yeah. WHAT demographic does that describe? /s
Wait- but CNN reported he was a white guy that thought the 2020 election was stolen??? hmm....
It was always a fake. claiming the 30-year-old black North Virginia resident, working for a bail bond company that supports illegal aliens, whose father previously sued the Trump administration and claims racism against their company opposition, is a Trump supporter.
All lies …..
Flashback of Richard Jewel
Still can’t trust anything coming out of the @FBI yet... Charlie wasn’t killed with a 30-06 and this dude... he could have been a useful idiot for someone... but until they get to his handler(s)... Still can’t trust anything coming out of the @FBI... we see... really feeling like we are still screwed when it come to getting justice... Tina Peters is still in jail when she should be in federal custody and witness protection as a key witness to the industrial scale voter fraud in 2020.
I think his handler could be his father.
His Mom took Tylenol while pregnant.
He has a car that he drives, has credit cards that he knows how to use, and holds a job at his father’s company.
He may be an anti social incel but he’s not non functioning.
Someone was guiding him.
His father should be considered for that.
Although with nothing other than my gut feelings, I believe certain parties in the deep state left manipulated this man for a false flag event. Possibly in cooperation with his parents.
Amazing how they couldn’t identify the attempted bomber for four years and then they magically found an MKUltra patsy days after Shauni Kerkhoff (ex DC cop and current CIA employee) was identified as the attempted bomber.
And he conveniently confessed in spite of his mental deficiencies.
Luckily enough, he will “commit suicide” soon.
The Perfect Patsy demographic.
Yup. This whole questionable case gets tied up very neatly if this guy suddenly dies.
He allegedly bought some of the bomb parts in 2019, well before the 2020 election.
Did he build them?
Who was his CIA/FBI contact?
The thought crossed my mind as well: The family fits a profile and somehow dad has his fingers in multiple businesses. Not impossible, but something's hinky.
If we are going to be fed, and expected to believe, that he is mentally deficient then his “confession” isn’t worth a 20 year old can of beans.
Maybe that’s part of the strategy. He goes to trial, he’s a sympathetic character, the gov case is weak and the jury acquits.
Then it’s all dismissed with “We got the guy, we didn’t get a conviction, it’s a travesty of justice, what’s for lunch?”
What does “borderline autistic” mean? Does it just mean nerdy?
And by computer nerd, does she mean he’s a gamer? If so, what kind of gamer crowd does he hang with? Does he have a Discord account? What kind of stuff did he post there?
There’s been some chatter that he has anarchist beliefs. Did this characterization come from his gamer buddies?
The fact that he doesn’t have a party affiliation doesn’t prove that he’s non-political. The fact that he hates both parties doesn’t prove that he’s non-ideological.
Ted Kazinsky was a nerdy recluse but was passionate about his carefully constructed worldview. Maybe this guy is similar.
I heard that too. He bought some as early as June or July ‘19 and the final pieces, the four end caps at four separate stores, about two weeks prior to the election.
His autism makes him “slow” but apparently pre-cognitive as well. /s
