Joe Biden let J6 bomber go free… because of politics?

Ever since the Trump administration arrested a suspect for planting pipe bombs outside the Republican and Democratic Party headquarters on the eve of the infamous January 6 riots, people have asked one question: What took so long?

The Department of Justice announced last Thursday, December 4, that it had found and arrested the man responsible for the attempted J6 pipe bombings: 30-year-old Brian Cole Jr. from Woodbridge, Virginia.

While the bombs never exploded, they were both “viable” explosives that could have caused mass deaths or injuries. Yet somehow, for four years, the Biden-Harris administration could not find the suspect living a stone’s throw from the FBI building.

“This cold case languished for four years until Director Patel and Deputy Director Bongino came to the FBI,” said Attorney General Pam Bondi at the press conference.

And she made clear, the Trump administration didn’t find new evidence or have a breakthrough. Everything that led to the arrest had been in the FBI’s hands for years.

“There was no new tip. There was no new witness, just good, diligent police work and prosecutorial work,” said Bondi. “The FBI along with U.S. Attorney (Jeanine) Piero and all of our prosecutors have worked tirelessly for months sifting through evidence that had been sitting at the FBI with the Biden administration for four long years.”

Everyone involved in the now-successful investigation said the same thing: Biden’s investigators had the information but didn’t put the clues together…or, at least, they didn’t act on them.

“In eight months, we came in and reviewed all of the evidence that had sat alone and on the sidelines for the prior four years of the Biden administration,” explained FBI Director Kash Patel, who spoke at the event along with Bondi, Piero, and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino.

It’s hard to overstate how much information the Biden-Harris information had at its disposal.

“Over the past four years, a dedicated team of FBI agents, analysts, data scientists, and law enforcement partners has visited more than 1,200 residences and businesses, conducted more than 1,000 interviews, reviewed approximately 39,000 video files, and assessed more than 600 tips about who may have placed pipe bombs on Capitol Hill in January 2021,” said David Sundberg, assistant director in charge of the FBI’s Washington Field Office in a press release on January 2.

Congress had also begun to find out what Biden (or whoever ran his administration) knew and when he knew it.

“In April 2021, the case team identified a user who was in the area of the DNC at the time the suspect can be seen on video footage using their phone.358 The FBI requested and received the “historical cell tower data” for the user, and as of April 2021, the case team was attempting to “further analyze” the user’s movements.359 It is ultimately unclear what happened with respect to this lead,” according to a pipe bomb report released this January by The January 6 Select Committee, charied by Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga.

At the same time, a federal affidavit shows investigators zeroing in on one checking account and six credit cards that allegedly belonged to Cole, and that had all the bomb-making components on its records.

Put together, they show the FBI had all the information it needed to identify Cole as the alleged J6 bomber in April 2021.

The Democratic administrations investigators had bank records proving that Cole had purchased bomb-making components: galvanized pipes, end caps, batteries, kitchen timers, and protective gloves for laying the bomb outside his targets.

They had data showing Cole’s cell phone pinging on towers outside the Republican and Democratic National Committees on the night of January 5, authorities say.

They had—and released—the pictures of an identical-looking figure wearing a hoodie and Nike Air Max Speed Turf shoes, walking near the crime scenes, and even waving to passers-by.

But then-FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland struck out every time they went to bat.

Last week’s bust was “long overdue,” Rep. Jason Smith, R-Mo., told Newsmax.

“This is a clear result of four years of a Biden Justice Department that refused to, apparently, investigate,” Smith continued. “I always wondered why no one could figure out in Washington, D.C., where there are cameras on every single corner, that they couldn’t figure out who placed those pipe bombs.”

It turns out the explanation of Joe Biden’s cover-up could be as explosive as the crime itself.

Experts, including the top investigators, say Biden knew the alleged bomber’s identity but failed to arrest him, anyway—possibly because it would interfere with Biden’s anti-Trump political narrative.

“In my opinion, the (Biden-Harris) administration either was completely incompetent or intentional in their weaponization of justice and law enforcement,” said Patel. “And we know they have a track record — Arctic Frost, Russiagate, and so many others. So, I put this in that folder.”

In media interviews, the investigators’ anger was palpable.

“I don’t know what the hell this previous leadership team was doing, outside targeting political opponents, politicizing the FBI,” fumed Bongino in an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity.

Investigative journalists say the Biden-Harris administration went full-tilt to trying to identify the pipe bomber, assuming he would be a MAGA Trump supporter linked to January 6.

But, unlike the January 6 investigation, the pipe bomb probe came to a sudden halt—possibly on orders from above.

“We are told toward February, March 2021, it just went away. And maybe we will find out exactly why, despite troves of evidence, interviews…Then all the sudden, it just went stone cold.” Jill Kelly told Steve Bannon on The War Room.

“It has been alleged by a news outlet that this individual anti-fascist ties, meaning Antifa. This will raise a lot of questions and could potentially answer more as to why Chris Wray’s FBI and Biden’s DOJ dropped it,” she told Benny Johnson.

The answer could be Cole’s politics.

MS NOW (formerly MSNBC) reported, “Investigators also found social media posts in which the suspect appeared to express anarchist leanings,” and “they found no evidence that he colluded with…any Trump supporters.”

Also, his father was once represented in a lawsuit by Black Lives Matter attorney Ben Crump.

Despite his links to BLM, CNN’s Jake Tapper told his viewers that Cole is “a 30-year-old white man”—a strange statement for two reasons.

First, CNN never mentions the race of crime perpetrators. Journalistic ethics say you shouldn’t mention race or ethnicity unnecessarily—and Cole’s race didn’t appear to play a major roel in his crime.

Second, Cole is black.

A black anarchist isn’t exactly going to scream, “This is MAGA country!”

“The truth doesn’t matter to the Protection Racket Media. Only the narrative matters,” wrote Ed Morrissey of HotAir.com. “They already have a narrative in mind for crime, and they deploy it regardless of the facts, even when those facts emerge in real time as they are publishing the narrative.”

“Biden’s FBI knew exactly who he was and where he lived, yet they never arrested him—even as they were arresting every MAGA grandma near the Capitol on J6,” stated conservative social media personality Greg Price. “But CNN and MSNBC want you to believe he was some sort of MAGA supporting election denier.”

“Their sole purpose is giving liberals an alternative reality to live in,” he said.

The Democratic administration just “couldn’t reveal that an anti-ICE and BLM supporter joined law enforcement in SETTING MAGA UP!” said viral MAGA personality Gunther Eaglemann.

Some have gone so far as to speculate the Deep State cultivated Cole as an asset and coached him to plant the bombs. There’s no hard evidence…but Cole does fit the profile of a patsy. Cole’s grandmother said, “He’s borderline autistic. He’s slow. He may be 30, but he’s got the mind of a 16-year-old.”

The good news is, the Trump administration knows the bias that motivates the media and Democratic “crime fighters”—and may be investigating the investigators.

What explains the FBI’s failure in the January 6 pipe bomb case, especially considering racking up convictions against dozens of low-level “offenders” who merely entered or stood near the Capitol building?

Was it the Biden administration ordering law enforcement to wage raging lawfare against President Donald Trump and his supporters?

Was it the Deep State protecting one of its own?
