After a suspect is charged, subsequent evidence and each piece of the remaining puzzle typically point directly to the person charged — if law enforcement and prosecutors charge the right person. This is not the case with Brian Cole, Jr., the alleged J6 pipe bomber. Yes, he apparently purchased common household items associated with making pipe bombs. I wonder how many people in the general DC area have most of these same items in their homes? Thousands? Yes, his cell phone pinged cell towers in the general area where the pipe bombs were placed. How many hundreds or thousands did, too? Yes, he confessed to the crime AFTER enthusiastically denying dozens of times he had anything to do with it, AFTER he was threatened with more charges if he kept asserting his innocence, and AFTER agents threatened to go after his family if he didn’t confess. Then and only then, after an interrogation lasting hours and Cole struggling to continue coherently, did he “confess,” and AFTER agents fed him key details, which he repeated or said “Yes” in response to a number of questions whether or not he took a specific action. Even AI says the confession was likely coerced. The video evidence uncovered from public sources by journalist @SteveBakerUSA, @accabbat and a few others appears to show Cole several blocks away from where the devices were placed at the exact time they were placed. It sure looks like Cole on the video, according to those who know him, his coat, his shoes, face mask and gait. There are so many details that line up, pointing to a reasonable conclusion that this is Cole on those videos. When interviewed by the FBI before being intimidated into a confession, Cole said he was in that area and the video seems to prove it. Why didn’t the FBI uncover this? Other details point to a cover up, including an FBI meeting in which pings were disclosed from a Capitol Police officer’s phone within a couple of yards where the devices were placed at the time they were placed, and a Capitol Police officer’s answers on a polygraph found not to be truthful when asked about the pipe bombs. In fact, according to a whistleblower, the FBI knew in that meeting it was a Capitol Police officer who placed the devices. Something is rotten and someone is not being truthful. Yet so many are coming out of the woodwork backing an agency, the FBI, that has proven time and time again to NOT be trustworthy. So were these pipe bombs a training exercise or part of a widespread conspiracy involving all of J6? It’s likely we will never know the full truth. In the meantime, Cole has been in jail for nearly a year.
