Federal authorities made their first arrest Thursday in connection with two pipe bombs that were planted outside the Democratic National Committee and Republican National Committee headquarters on the eve of the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
The arrest marks a major step forward in a case that has vexed the FBI for nearly five years.
Both pipe bombs were placed outside DNC and RNC headquarters on the evening of Jan. 5, 2021, federal investigators have said. The devices — made out of 1x8-inch pipes, kitchen timers and homemade black powder — did not detonate, but the FBI has called them viable and warned they could have killed or injured people.

BREAKING: The FBI has surrounded a home in Woodbridge, VA where alleged DC pipe bomber Brian Cole Jr., reportedly 33, was arrested this morning
Cole seemingly has very little online presence, and has been described as an “anarchist”
He’s expected to be arraigned today.
“Very little online presence”…Sounds familiar. But I hope the FBI is scouring the dark web, because I doubt that groups like Antifa communicate their plans on public sites.
If we needed to know, they would tell us. I’m completely satisfied. /s
So what happened to the female DC cop who now works for the CIA - or something - who was ID’s as the bomber?
Is this just another BS POS we know is a lie in some way or another?
WTFH?
I still think the person was a woman based upon the video.
The problem with the FBI/DOJ destroying their reputation over the past few years is that no one believes a word they now say.

Brian Cole, the J6 pipe bomber, is from a family that runs a bail bond service for illegal immigrants.
They were represented by Ben Crump.

Two neighbors said they think Brian Cole Jr. may be autistic and noted that he has 'uncommonly short legs' — making a potential gait analysis useful
One told me that Brian previously was the talk of the neighborhood because he would wear shorts and red crocs 'all winter long'
"We would always just comment, ‘Like, how is he in shorts — and it’s 20 degrees out — in his red crocs, walking his dog all winter long?’"— Steven Nelson (@stevennelson10) December 4, 2025
Oh boy the excuses are starting.
So much for “black antifa.” Bail bondsman is not likely to be antifa, either.

Hopefully a soon to be ex DOJ or FBI employee.
It seems like whenever an award is posted for a crime anywhere in the US no one is ever given the money for one reason or another.
Is this the same woman who The Blaze claimed did it? She has strongly denied it and even released video “proving” it couldn’t be her.
Yes. The pipe bomb suspect "acted alone" and "there is no connection to terrorism." And he is "a man." "Has never used the internet or social media."
Hope that helps.
A dog ate some of the crucial evidence. /S
I want to know how a wind up timer with a bell can be used for such a device. It looked like a cheap movie prop.
We really need to know who the police officer was who waved to the pipe bomber. Isn’t the car number or license plate visible? Washington, DC is most surveilled city in the
non-Chinese world; give me a break!
Also, who were the police officers who casually allowed children to pass right by the “just reported” pipe bomb. And, no hurry to extricate the VP from a dangerous situation next to a live bomb!
Ray Epps testified that he heard there would be a bomb planted, and because his son was heading to DC, and that was why he was there on Jan. 5-6, to protect his son. And, why did Ray Epps get such favorable treatment?
Ms. Bondi said the evidence was gathering dust before the new administration. Why? Do cases after several year just spontaneously solve themselves?
So many questions!
“learning that BOTH parents needed to be American citizens for you to qualify as a natural born citizen and able to run for president.”
That was incorrect. If you want a long legal analysis written decades before Obama, try this:
“It thus clearly appears that by the law of England for the last three centuries, beginning before the settlement of this country, and continuing to the present day, aliens, while residing in the dominions possessed by the crown of England, were within the allegiance, the obedience, the faith or loyalty, the protection, the power, and the jurisdiction of the English sovereign; and therefore every child born in England of alien parents was a natural-born subject, unless the child of an ambassador or other diplomatic agent of a foreign state, or of an alien enemy in hostile occupation of the place where the child was born.”

Yep, next on the “to do” list should be exposing the real role of Ray Epps and why the Democrats coddled him like they did.
“The old team at FBI refused to arrest him.”
We know he was being protected by the Biden Admin and the old FBI. So if the story now is that he acted alone without democrat influence then we will know that we can’t trust a word the FBI is telling us.
