Folks, grab your Pez dispenser, pop a Pez, because we finally have a name and a set of cuffs on the creep who planted viable pipe bombs outside the RNC and DNC headquarters the night before January 6, 2021.
Thirty-year-old Brian Cole Jr. from Woodbridge, Virginia is now in custody, and the Trump-era Justice Department just held a presser that basically read like a love letter to old-school police work.
Attorney General Pam Bondi kicked things off and didn't mince words: the arrest came "not the result of a new tip or a new witness, but rather, the result of good, diligent police and prosecutorial work."
FBI Director Kash Patel piled on, saying the breakthrough happened "when you let good cops be cops." He gave a big shout-out to Deputy Director Dan Bongino, who apparently ran the show on this one.
Bongino himself stepped up and dropped this absolute gem: "This is what it's like when you work for a president who tells you to go get the bad guys."
You getting chills yet, because I am.
Assistant Director Darren Cox of the Washington Field Office laid out just how brutal the haystack was: they chewed through "massive amounts of data, more than three million lines of it" to zero in on Cole. He reminded everyone these weren't fake props, these were live bombs that, by the grace of God, never went off.
Then former judge and current U.S. Attorney Jeannine Pirro brought the fire, ticking off the calendar: "Four years, 10 months, and 28 days ago, an individual placed a bomb in the vicinity of the RNC and DNC." She talked about chasing down every single one of the 233,000+ black end caps that match the ones used on the bombs, cross-referencing pipe, wire, steel, the whole nine yards. And she made it crystal clear this administration told the investigators, "Go get it done."
Pirro closed with a line that should be stitched on a pillow: "Today begins the formal process of accountability… We will take this case across the finish line."
Even MPD Chief Pamela Smith got in on it, saying after almost five years of grinding through thousands of hours of video and countless leads, "Washingtonians can rest easier today knowing that the suspect responsible for this act is in custody."
The Q&A was short. They are not tipping their hand on evidence or motive yet, but Bongino did recount the moment they knew they had their guy: Cox called him and said, "You sitting down? …I think we got him."
And in the cherry-on-top moment, AG Bondi wrapped the whole thing by announcing this was the best 51st birthday present they could give Dan Bongino, whose birthday is, you guessed it, today.
So yes, no anonymous texting hero, no last-minute whistleblower, no Hollywood confession. Just a bunch of fed-up cops and prosecutors who were finally allowed to do their damn jobs.Welcome to the new normal, bad guys. Clock’s ticking.
