A picture is beginning to emerge about the suspect accused of planting two pipe bombs next to Democratic and Republican headquarters on the eve of the 2021 Capitol riot, following his arrest on Thursday. Neighbours and family members described Brian Cole Jr, 30, as "naive" and a "quiet guy" who often walked a chihuahua in their Washington DC suburb. He also told investigators he thought the 2020 election was "rigged", US media reports say. Authorities arrested Mr Cole and charged him with attempted malicious destruction with explosive materials. The bombs did not detonate. He was arrested without incident, US Attorney...

VIDEOThe only thing worse than an incompetent FBI official is an FBI official who is incompetent on purpose so as to avoid identifying a suspect that he doesn't want to be identified. Such was the case with the former assistant director of the FBI DC field office Steven D'Antuono who LIED to Congress about the pipe bomber's cell phone data supposedly having been corrupted when it wasn't.So when will D'Antuono be indicted for LYING to Congress?

WASHINGTON — The Virginia man charged with planting pipe bombs at the headquarters of the Democratic and Republican National Committees on the eve of the Capitol riot confessed to the crime on Thursday afternoon, sources tell The Post. 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.

The Trump administration blamed Biden for failing to catch the Jan 6 pipe bomb suspect - with Dan Bongino even alluding to a 'massive cover up.' 'There is a massive cover-up, because the person who planted those pipe bombs—they don’t want you to know who it was, because it’s either a connected anti-Trump insider, or this was an inside job,' Bongino said in 2024. 'Those bombs were planted there. This was a setup. I have zero doubt.'

During interviews with the FBI, the suspect arrested in the pipe bomb probe told investigators that he believed the 2020 election was stolen, providing perhaps the first indication of a possible motive for the bombs placed near the DNC and RNC headquarters, people briefed on the matter said. Cole spent hours with FBI investigators and made multiple statements, the sources said. Dan Bongino, deputy FBI director, told Fox News on Thursday that the FBI had interviewed the suspect at length, but didn’t elaborate. The FBI and the Justice Department declined to comment for this story.

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 5, 2021, a court ruled against the company in its lawsuit attacking the Trump administration on immigration issues, The Daily Wire has learned. An FBI affidavit in the case notes that the suspect works for a bail bond company and lives with his mother. Later in 2021, the company...

John 10:7, 9-10 (King James Version) Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. Congratulations to Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, Dan Bongino and Judge Pirro for finding the J-6 Pipe Bomber. This is the first piece of the puzzle which is going to explain the entire orchestration of the trap which was set to stop the Electoral College count in the House which was about to expose the voter fraud in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Nevada as they axed for certification guarantees. This is the major piece of...

"Less lethal" instructor Kerkhoff departed the @CapitolPolice roughly six months after January 6. Colleagues learned she joined a three-letter federal intelligence agency.

As long as your heart is in the right place, who cares, right? As long as your heart is in the right place, who cares if you are a multiple arsonist who throws fire-bombs and endangers lives? And you have a well-placed heart as big as the Ritz if you hate Israel and want to see it disappear, to be replaced by a 23rd Arab state. More on the antisemitic and pro-Hamas supporters who have rallied round the pyromaniacal comically-named Casey Goonan, can be found here: “Anti-Israel serial arsonist receives support from Columbia encampment protest groups,” by Michael Starr, Jerusalem...

A federal judge handed down a stiff sentence to a man who turned political rage into arson, and it matters. Casey Robert Goonan was sentenced to nearly 20 years in prison after a string of firebombings and arsons in the Bay Area. The court applied a terrorism enhancement, and the result should remind anyone tempted by violent activism that the system takes these attacks seriously. On June 1, Goonan placed a bag of six incendiary devices under a UC Police Department patrol car near the UC Berkeley campus, an act caught on surveillance video. Ten days later he attacked an...

..... Michael Gann, 55, of Inwood, allegedly built at least seven improvised explosive devices (IEDs) using chemicals purchased online, according to US Attorney for the Southern District of New York Jay Clayton. "As alleged, Michael Gann built explosive devices, stored them on a rooftop in SoHo, and threw one onto the subway tracks—putting countless lives at risk," Clayton said. "Thanks to swift work by our law enforcement partners, no one was harmed. That vigilance assuredly prevented a tragedy in New York." Authorities say Gann threw one device onto the subway tracks on the Williamsburg Bridge and stashed others, some containing...

PALMDALE - Northrop Grumman Corp. will build three unmanned X-47B aircraft and their associated systems under a $1 billion contract awarded Wednesday. The contract with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is part of the Joint Unmanned Combat Air Systems demonstration program, intended to produce the technologies for unmanned aerial vehicles capable of delivering munitions. The three vehicles will be assembled at Northrop's facility at Air Force Plant 42 in Palmdale. Company officials, however, do not foresee a large increase in employment at the site due to this contract, said Jim Hart, Northrop spokesman. The X-47B is expected to begin...

On Tuesday, June 24, federal authorities apprehended an armed subject who advanced on officers with a large knife outside the ICE facility in Portland, Oregon. Julie Mikela Winters, 47, born Christopher Hudson, has been charged with felony attempted assault of a federal officer, according to a press release from the Department of Justice.

A Lebanese migrant who was caught sneaking over the border admitted he’s a member of Hezbollah, he hoped to make a bomb, and his destination was New York, The Post can reveal. Basel Bassel Ebbadi, 22, was caught by border patrol on March 9 near El Paso, Texas. While in custody he asked what he was doing in the US, to which he replied: “I’m going to try to make a bomb,” according to a Border Patrol document exclusively obtained by The Post. In a subsequent sworn interview, Ebbadi said he had trained with Hezbollah for seven years and served...

It took nearly a year for a Lebanese illegal migrant who arrived under the Biden administration and admitted that he’s a Hezbollah terrorist hoping “to make a bomb” to get his deportation papers, Immigration and Customs Enforcement told The Post Monday. Now, the Trump administration is working to finally boot him from the country. New York-bound migrant Basel Bassel Ebbadi, 22, admitted his ties to the terrorist group, and ambitions when he was captured by border agents in El Paso, Texas, on March 9, 2024 — and was immediately held in federal custody. During a medical screening in a processing...

VIDEOOut of the THOUSANDS of supposed "insurrectionists" from January 6, 2021 only ONE, count 'em, ONE could not be tracked via cell phone data. Why? Because, aw gee, although everyone else was easily traced via cell phone data it turned out that ONLY the pipe bomber could not be identified because his cell phone data was corrupted. To quote Steven D'Antuono the lead FBI investigator attempting to identify the pipe bomber, "It just sucks for everyone!"

Matthew Livelsberger is a patsy, the question is for who and what purpose? Let's break down why I think this is true by going through everything that we know so far, a thread: There is still a lot we do not know about Matthew Livelsberger, the alleged Vegas bomber, but here is what we do know and there is a lot that does not add up: He recently made the E8 list for MSG in 2023 in an 18Z slot, which means he was a Special Forces soldier and if he pinned, would have still been on Active Duty. This...
