The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Washington D.C. this week announced they arrested a suspect believed to have planted improvised explosives outside of the RNC and DNC on Jan. 5, 2021.
The Justice Department on Thursday arrested Brian J. Cole, Jr. 30, of Woodbridge, Virginia, on charges he transported explosive devices across state lines and planted them outside RNC and DNC headquarters a day ahead of President Donald Trump’s “Save America” rally.

“The well-being of our society rests on our ability as law enforcement to safeguard our citizens,” U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro stated. “When bad actors intervene to disrupt and threat that peace – to destroy the very fabric of our country – we must, we do, and we will track them down and hold them to account for their crimes to the full extent of the law. FBI and members of my office worked around the clock to methodically piece together the clues that ultimately identified the defendant.”
Here’s a photo of the accused pipe-bomber circulating on social media:

Read the DOJ’s criminal complaint against Cole below, which mentions the bombs were manufactured using “a 1-inch by 8-inch pipe, end caps affixed to the pipe, 14-gauge electrical wire in red and black, alligator clips to connect the wires, a nine-volt (9v) battery, a nine-volt (9v) battery connector, a white kitchen timer, paper clips, steel wool, and homemade black powder.”
Many online pointed out the suspicious timing of the bust, which came just weeks after Blaze investigative journalist Steve Baker had identified a different person of interest – a Capitol Police officer turned intel agent – sources claimed was responsible for placing the IEDs.
There’s nothing suspicious at all about Steve Baker finding a suspect and then 2 weeks after Steve but 5 years after the incident FBI says they’re certain it’s a random guy from Virginia not the Capitol police officer
