FBI makes arrest in investigation into pipe bombs placed in DC on eve of Jan. 6 riot, AP source says

[essentialsaltes]

The arrest marks the first time investigators have settled on a suspect in an act that had long vexed law enforcement, spawned a multitude of conspiracy theories and remained an enduring mystery in the shadow of the dark chapter of American history that is the violent Capitol siege.

No details other than that it's a man.

Good news. Presumably this falls under terrorism. Throw away the key when he's locked up.

Brian Cole was identified as the suspect in custody, according to two senior law enforcement officials briefed on the matter. The arrest marks a breakthrough in a case that has stymied investigators for nearly five years.

FOX says he's a resident of Virginia.

I assume from the lack of K$H Patel tweeting all the details, the details will not please the conspiracy theorists.

Good news. Presumably this falls under terrorism. Throw away the key when he's locked up.

This might be too egregious an act of terror for even Trump to pardon him.

They should deport him back to Dudemanistan.

Four law enforcement sources told CBS News the suspect is 30-year-old Brian Cole of Woodbridge, Virginia, outside Washington, D.C. He is expected to be charged in federal court in Washington on Thursday, according to an FBI source. The school district for Prince William County, Virginia, which includes Woodbridge, confirmed to CBS News that Cole graduated from high school in 2013.

They are already saying Brian Cole died in 2014.

If he'd committed fraud, well...

Interesting the case was cracked with "no new information" according to Bondi. It was solved using all the same info the Biden administration had. Weird.

...Maybe they didn't want to solve it.

"A motive has not yet been identified. But two people familiar with the matter described Cole’s political beliefs as extremist to the Washington Post. And MS Now reported, also citing two people briefed on the matter, that the suspect has been tied to statements supporting anarchist ideology."

CNN media influencers are pushing the idea that Trump pardoned the Jan. 6 rioters, but this poor, young black fellow will receive punishment without pardon, and that it's not fair.

Should Brian Cole Jr. Recieve clemency? Or "the book"? That's the question, knowing now that he's black instead of white.

It's not very consistent.

Unless you think the seditionists and police-assaulters deserve clemency for their violent crimes because they were on the president's side, and Cole's motivations are unclear as yet.
