"The suspect’s identity remained unclear for the moment, but the arrest could ultimately provide an answer to one of the most tantalizing mysteries arising from the Jan. 6. riot."

I'm reading "Suspect Arrested in Inquiry Into Pipe Bombs in D.C. Ahead of Jan. 6 Riot" (NYT).

"The break in the case was not based on new information but came after agents bore down yet again on their investigative files and discovered a new lead, according to one person familiar with the matter."

I'm beginning to question whether Wray and Comey even tried to solve crimes when they ran the FBI. At least not real crimes perpetrated by their allies/undercover agents/CIs/LARPers.

But fake crimes they were all over!

Mike (MJB Wolf) said...

So a "new lead" in "old files" then. Was it found in another burn bag?

The suspect is not identified, no name - just that one has been arrested. I was under the impression that Revolver tentatively ID'd the suspect some weeks ago - as a female former Capital police officer that now works for the intelligence agencies or something.

We shall see. The case has been stinking to high heaven since Jan 6th though, suffering from too much Clouseau.

"...BREAKING | NBC News: Brian Cole is the person the FBI has in custody and whom they believe left the pipe bombs in DC on 1/5/2021, according to two senior law enforcement officials briefed on the matter....."

Achilles said...

LOL.

They already identified the woman who did it. She was a capitol police officer. Gate pattern matching is more accurate than finger prints.

Here we go again.

Peachy said...

"Gate pattern matching is more accurate than finger prints."

lol

Dogma and Pony Show said...

So, Achilles, you would vote right now to convict the woman previously named . . . guilty beyond a reasonable doubt?

Ronald J. Ward said...

Has MAGA started a Go Fund Me for him yet?

Greg The Class Traitor said...

IOW, the suspect was finally arrested because the Trump FBIm, unlike the "Biden" FBI, actually wanted to solve the crime and arrest the guilty

Oh, Ronnie, you delusional twit, he's not going to turn out to be MAGA.

If he was MAGA, the "Biden" FBI would have arrested him

Peachy said...

Ron Ward - We don't behave like you leftists do.

Quaestor said...

The Democrats have taken their lessons from the Romanovs. To stay in power, the Obama autocracy needs a Pyotr Ivanovich Rachkovsky (James Comey) to runs the Okhrana; and a Rachkovsky needs an Yevno Fishelevich Azef to plant the bombs.

Peachy said...

Ron Ward - A Democratic Presidential candidate actually called for funding rioters, looters, arsonists and other bad behavior approved by the Soros-left.
What was her name?

rrsafety said...

What does it mean that his identity is “unclear”. The New York Times is saying that in all of its reporting, but I’ve never heard that terminology before.

Peachy said...

I'm still waiting for a dedicated cultist leftist to watch THIS entire video - and explain who the man in all-clad / all-black face covering is.

Freder Frederson said...

Achilles doesn't even know how to spell "gait", yet he knows everything he needs to know to have her hanged (and I double checked--it is hanged, not hung)

CJinPA said...

"...the Jan. 6 riot."

It's been a long fall from "insurrection" and "coup attempt."

Bart was hung, not hanged; and he later became sheriff of Rock Ridge.

n.n said...

Identity as in Diversity (i.e. color or class)? Was it a baby... fetus? A "burden" in hindsight.

Dave Begley said...

This person would be smart to rat out and give up the people who put her up to this.

rrsafety said...

It means they'd rather not talk about it.

Did they actually arrest her again?

I am surprised she is alive tbh.

At 0952

Sure, if she wants to spend a night or 2 in the Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Cell at the local hoosegow.

Achilles said...

Ronald J. Ward said...

It isn't a him. It is a her.

And she was a capitol police officer at the time who decided to go work for the CIA a year later.

"I'm beginning to question whether Wray and Comey even tried to solve crimes when they ran the FBI."

I suspect Wray and Comey didn't want to solve this one, but we'll see (I hope).

Leland said...

Maybe one day, someone will write a book about them.

DINKY DAU 45 said...

BRIAN COLE , 30 YEAR OLD male, not female, identified suspect arrested this am from VA in pipe bombing incident of j6. Will he be the real suspect. Will trump pardon him? Trying to create a diversion while magas were strorming capitol is the conjecture. Scanning his house for any materials to make bombs

bagoh20 said...

Name being reported is Brian Cole of Northern Virginia.
I wonder why someone would plant viable bombs that do not go off. It seems as if they were intended to be discovered unexploded or something changed the plan. Dan Bongino has suggested they were intended to cause chaos that day, but the riot at the capitol happened and better served the requirement, so there was no need to make a big deal about them.

I don't think Patel is particularly keen to solve it either.

Pretty obvious that a lot of people in the FBI, CIA, and Capitol police were involved if a capitol police officer planted a fake bomb and went to work for the CIA afterwards.

Yeah, that's along the lines of what I've been assuming.

DINKY DAU 45 said...

DNA + video analysis + cell data + a tip finally cracked the case. More accurate info to follow as it is released. It is reported Kid lived at home and searching the place for more identifying info. Still holding onto the "diversion tactic" from the capitol insurrection (says some reports)

Justabill said...

The Brian Cole that I remember was the bass player for the Association. Died in 1972.

His vocal on "Little Road and a Stone to Roll" (last song on their last album, "Waterbeds in Trinadad") is excellent. Very talented band, right to the end.

Inga said...

Who needs the FBI when you’ve got Achilles on the case, you retards.

MikeD said...

Mr. Cole has been identified as an Anarchist, aka AntiFa.

narciso said...

This guy just plants fake bombs outside the dnc and rnc and no one noticed him for four years

J Scott said...

Identity unclear? Maybe a name change is involved.

Justabill said...

Waterbeds in Trinidad! And here I thought that I was the only person to buy that album. The song about broccoli, though…

Levi Starks said...

I believe this is one of those rare cases where “there’s no evidence of” turned into “we actually decided to investigate”

Inga said...

Not fake bombs.

“These pipe bombs were viable devices that could have been detonated,” said FBI’s D’Antuono.”

Quaestor said...

"...and I double checked--it is hanged, not hung."

If Freder had to double-check the past tense of hang, he has no room to criticize anyone's orthography.

narciso said...

They tracked every j6er no matter where they were, this guy they let slip through their fingers

There are so many atrocities associated with this witchhunt which all you jackals applauded

Josephbleau said...

Seems like one of the “now it can be told” stories from WW2, we can now release that we were reading the Japanese codes, we can now release that “viable” but unexploded bombs were placed at party headquarters before the j6 riot and we have now caught the person who did it.

Now Polosi can just be blamed and Hakeem Jeffries can be thrown out if necessary. It won’t matter to them, they will always be rich, and get good jobs. If you wait long enough to expose your ploy there are no consequences.

Vance said...

We all know that Inga is really, really upset about the pipe bomber.... in that the bomb outside the RNC did not go off. She wanted that, along with the rest of the leftists here.

Remember how all of these leftists acted when that guy in Wisconsin or Minnesota or Michigan, I forget which, ran over and killed that teenage boy because he thought the boy was MAGA? Oh, how our leftists loved that!

D'Antonio the conductor of the phony whitmer plot that guy

Next up: “The mostly peaceful protest on January 6”.
Then: “Some people did somethings”.

Dogma and Pony Show said...

Is there any evidence that this is tied to the events at the Capitol?

RCOCEAN II said...

Press conference over. Antifa. That's why Wray didn't want to catch him. Hard to jabber about J6 "insurrection" when Antifa is planting bombs.

RCOCEAN II said...

Another lone white guy leftist. Wonder if he's Gay or Trans.

RCOCEAN II said...

People are saying Wray might have perjured himself, since he said zero Antifa on J6. But Wray lied so much to Congress, its hard to care. R Senators were always "Hey he's lying. Lets write him a letter. And if he lies again, we'll write another letter". Dog and Pony show.

Rory said...

"The break in the case was not based on new information but came after agents bore down yet again on their investigative files and discovered a new lead, according to one person familiar with the matter."

Sgt. Dietrich and Capt. Miller compare several letters that threaten the Mayor of New York:

D.: THE PAPER TYPE'S CONSISTENT.
M.: IT'S, UH... NOT MUCH TO GO ON.
D.: HANDWRITING COULD BE THE SAME.
M.: COULD BE.
D.: SAME RETURN ADDRESS.
M.: WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO IN THE FIRST PLACE?
D.: DRAMATIC EFFECT.

gadfly said...

In a story published on Nov. 8, The Blaze, a publication founded by (no longer) conservative commentator Glenn Beck, cited “gait analysis” that allegedly confirmed that a former D.C. officer’s style of walking matched the walking of the bomb carrier of the woman who planted the bombs, and officer Shauni Rae Kerkhoff was named.

Beck said on his show that Kerkhoff was the bomb carrier, so now The Blaze will lose some cash in court.

Aggie said...

'lone guy white leftist' Antifa Dude sure seems to live in a nice neighborhood in Virginia, white colonial 2-story on a cul-de-sac. Hmm.....

RCOCEAN II said...

Read he lived in his Mom's basement.

James K said...

"Press conference over. Antifa."
But there's no such organization called Antifa, or so I've heard.

Christopher B said...

Regardless of the accuracy of the identification reported several weeks ago, it is still pretty interesting that shortly after somebody pointed a finger at a Deep Stater, the Deep Staters in the FBI dug into the files to produce a suspect.

Antifa, huh?

Fits with my favorite tin-foil hat J6 theory that the Democrats had primed a disturbance for the Electoral College Certification if Trump drew another inside straight and won a second term with a minority of the popular vote (just to cover the bases if the massive fraud didn't push Biden over the top) but either some folks didn't get the memo Biden won, or the organizers decided to infiltrate Trump's march.
