This morning Ed wrote about the arrest of a suspect in the January 6 pipe bomb case. His name is Brian Cole Jr. and when Ed Morrisey covered the story there wasn't much information about who he was or what might have motivated him.
Later in the day we're starting to get a pretty clear picture. In fact, let's start with a picture.
Accused DC pipe-bomber Brian Cole Jr.’s face unmasked for first time after arrest in resurfaced photo

The NY Post explained where the photo came from:
Cole’s mother shared the smiling picture of him in a blue dress shirt and tie on Instagram for National Son’s Day in September 2024 — more than three years after the alleged attempted bombing.
So what do we know about Cole? Well, he worked in the family business as a bail bondsman.
Brian Cole, Jr. worked for a bail bonds company run by his father that worked to free illegal immigrants from ICE facilities and sued the Trump administration’s Department of Homeland Security.
Weeks before 30-year-old Cole Jr. allegedly planted pipe bombs at the headquarters of the Democrat and Republican parties on January 6, 2021, a court ruled against the company in its lawsuit attacking the Trump administration on immigration issues, The Daily Wire has learned...
Later in 2021, the company held a press conference bemoaning anti-black racism with a left-wing attorney. Cole Sr. and Benjamin Crump, who represented the family of Trayvon Martin, attempted to sic the Biden Department of Justice on a local Tennessee prosecutor who had raised questions about the bail bond company.
This next bit comes from a report at MSNOW so take it with a grain of salt. They report that Cole has made statements connecting him to anarchism.
The allegations, if proven, would end a longstanding mystery that sparked a multitude of conspiracy theories over who planted the pipe bombs before a mob of pro-Trump supporters stormed the Capitol aiming to stop Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s election as president. Authorities have not yet determined a motive, a law enforcement official said. But the suspect has been linked to statements in support of anarchist ideology, said two people briefed on the arrest who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The Washington Post had a similar but slightly different report also based on anonymous sources.
Law enforcement officials are investigating a motive, but two people familiar with the matter described the 30-year-old Cole as an extremist in his political beliefs. They spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss details of an ongoing investigation.
None of that has been confirmed publicly yet. AG Pam Bondi didn't offer any specifics about Cole's motives during the press conference this afternoon. However, Bondi, FBI Director Patel and Deputy Director Bongino all promised that there would be more information coming as this case headed to trial. Bongino specifically mentioned an a-ha moment when they knew they had a suspect but didn't say what the evidence was.
My take, after listening to this, is that they have a lot more evidence to back this up but Kash Patel in particular is being careful about sharing it, probably because he's taken a lot of heat in the past for sharing evidence on X. Here's the full press conference.
You can't make this stuff up.

What’s the Over/Under?
20 years of being a party favor.
Incredible. A worthless “journalist” who would deny his own birthright.
Antifa or BLM.
Tapper’s always on the warpath for white Christians. You know, the people that made this country great in the first place?
Gay
It’s Norbit! /sarcasm
So, why did he target Kamala? Wasn’t that one of the lines of BS we were supposed to believe?
Urkel the N!gro UniBomber.
Yep. According to Jake Tapper, Cole is a white man. He said it so seriously!
“When Jake Tapper Said the J6 Pipe Bomber Was a ‘White Man’ and Then This Happened”

Well, look at his bad self with that shirt and tie and horn-rim glasses.
I’ll take “Intelligence Asset” for $500, Alex!
I never got into the J6 pipe bomb story. Can someone do a brief sentence on what happened in it?
White chocolate.
Benjamin Crump. No wonder the Biden admin wouldn’t investigate, phones couldn’t work, etc…
Wonder if this bail bondsman guy was in contact with that “American Insurgence” guy from Utah who CNN and MSNBC paid for J6 footage, the guy who was egging on people and who had the American female journalist sidekick who had just returned from Vietnam with him ? He had been at a protest in Utah where a passerby was killed, and before j6 he had told his social media followers to disguise themselves as MAGA .
His brother didn’t agree with him, etc.
CNN will invent a new category of “white black man” like they did with “white hispanic” when the facts don’t meet their agenda.
Anarchists try to false flag every angle, every side, because their goal is to start conflict that will escalate out of control, with the objective of using the chaos to get power. Recall Obama’s buddy Bill Ayers of the white Weather Underground terrorist group, which in the late 60s and 70s was trying to incite a race war. As they say, the issue used to start riots and movements (race, religion, environment, gender, etc) isn’t the issue, it is only the revolution that matters.
Same reason the KKK and Louis Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam share each others’ articles and such. Same reason white supremacists got in bed with Saddam Hussein, and the Russians with the black Uhuru group, and Terry Nichols and McVeigh with islamicists in the Philippines as well as Saddam.
“Who Is Brian Cole, the Suspect in the January 6 DC Pipe Bomb Case?”
A patsy for the REAL bomber.
