https://www.reuters.com/world/us/person-suspected-planting-pipe-bombs-ahead-jan-6-2021-custody-official-says-2025-12-04/
WASHINGTON, Dec 4 (Reuters) - U.S. authorities have arrested a man suspected of planting pipe bombs in Washington the night before the January 6, 2021, assault on the Capitol by supporters of President Donald Trump, two officials briefed on the matter said on Thursday.
The FBI released surveillance video, offered a $500,000 reward and received hundreds of tips in a years-long search for the suspect they believe was involved in the incident that took place nearly five years ago.

The footage, from January 5, 2021, showed a person putting a bomb near a bench outside the Democratic National Committee building. The suspect placed another bomb at the Republican headquarters. Both sites are near the Capitol.
The suspect was in Virginia when he was arrested, according to a law enforcement official.
“We have him,” a Justice Department official told Reuters. He is expected to make an initial court appearance in Washington, according to a source briefed on the matter.
The bombs were discovered on the same day supporters of Trump stormed Congress in an attempt to stop lawmakers from certifying Democrat Joe Biden's 2020 presidential election victory.
Police deactivated the bombs and neither exploded.
In the January 6, 2021, melee at the Capitol, rioters surged past police barricades, assaulting about 140 officers and causing more than $2.8 million in damage. Trump pardoned nearly everyone criminally charged for participating in the riot, some 1,500 people, when he returned to office in January.

This might not even go to trial given the FBI is flooded with trump loyalists pushing the lie the bomber was an inside job.

according to the DailyMail his name is Brian Cole and he's an "anarchist"

also, this doesn't really tell us much about his political ideology since anarchists can be either anarcho-capitalists or communists
>>
>>1462356
The FBI was working on this case long before the competent people were pushed out. They must have some evidence which places the guy at the scenes of where the bombs were placed, or else they just rounded up a random anarchist and are trying to pin it on him.

Ahahaha

wasn't the guy on surveillance footage white?
>>
>>1462360
>Well ackshually they just said he was an anarchist. That COULD mean anarcho-capitalist
That's like suggesting when a publication accuses someone of being a socialist, that they could actually mean a national socialist
>>
>>1462373
Given the FBI was compromised by trump well before and during his failed coup, I'm dubious of that.
>>
>>1462382
Have you considered you demonstratably cannot trust a fucking thing this FBI does under Patel?
>>
Somebody should remind the FBI Trump already pardoned everyone connected to the Jan 6th protests, so this dude can't be convicted.
>>
>>1462421
You need to admit guilt to be eligible for a pardon.

>>1462373
>or else they just rounded up a random anarchist and are trying to pin it on him
Can you fucking imagine? Between trying to coup a Latin American country and that shit, this admin would be pulling out all the classics.

>>1462424
Right, but there is literally nothing stopping this dude from admitting guilt.
>>
>>1462428
We will get in our 19 yr old Kai Trump look alike to say" please granddaddy, Don't pardon this true patriot, until there's 1 month left in your term, as it will make you look bad", as she wiggles around on his lap and purrs in his ear.
>>
>>1462453
Trump *already* pardoned him. He issued a blanket pardon for the Jan 6th shit.
>>
>>1462424
Like General Milley?
>>
>>1462482
completely different and completely off topic. you tried tho.
>>
>>1462490
So Milley wasn't given a pardon without being charged or admitting to guilt?
>>
>>1462492
completely different and completely off topic. keep trying tho.
>>
>>1462492
>>1462482
Strictly speaking, a pardon being issued and a person entering a pardon into a court record to get out of a charge are two separate steps of the pardon process. You can reject using an issued pardon, in which case the pardon legally nullified.

Until and unless Milley actually uses his pardon for anything he doesn't have to do shit and the pardon doesn't reflect on him at all.

In theory, this bomber could reject using their pardon, but unless the clown show at the FBI fucked this case, I doubt they would.
>>
>>1462342
Hold on, so Patel is out doing a press conference about how the attack on the capitol was an attack on America.

The attack on the capitol that his president pardoned everyone involved in, which would include this guy.
>>
>>1462476
Autopen, it's invalid
>>
>>1462499
He has a blanket pardon that he can use for anything and he hasn't been charged or admitted guilt. Whether he uses it or rejects it is irrelevant. He has a pardon without being found guilty of a crime, so saying you have to be found guilty to get a pardon is incorrect.
>>
>>1462513
Don't judge shill, I'm sure you're one shillfarm paycheck from being an invalid
>>
>>1462514
>so saying you have to be found guilty to get a pardon is incorrect
That wasn't the claim. Admitting guilt and being found guilty aren't the same thing. The comment (which I didn't make, I was actually the guy that person was responding to) regarding admitting guilt was in reference to dicta wherein the court found that making use of a pardon to avoid being found guilty could be considered an admission of guilt which could later be used against someone in other contexts, e.g. in an alternate jurisdiction (state vs federal) or in a civil trial or socially, hence why someone might reasonably not want to accept a pardon issued for them.

It's okay to just not talk if you don't know shit.
>>
>>1462521
>That wasn't the claim.
>You need to admit guilt to be eligible for a pardon.
Did Milley admit guilt to anything? No.
Does he have a pardon? Yes.
>>
>>1462516
>fascist shill projecting
Such many cases!
>>
>>1462522
>Does he have a pardon?
They meant eligible for a pardon to be applied, not a pardon to be issued. Being pardoned is a 2 step process. The second step hasn't been completed and won't be until and unless Milley enters the pardon into a court record to get out of a charge or conviction. As far as the justice system is concerned, Milley hasn't been pardoned for anything.

I reiterate, it's okay to just not talk if you don't know shit.
>>
>>1462539
Ugh, this is why I hate the left. Your semantic bullshit aside, he has a get out of jail free card for any crime he may or may not have committed. We'll never know since he's never been charged with anything. And your quibbling over
>wuh well he has to use his get out of jail free card for it to count as a pardon first
Is just such bad faith whoreshit.
>>
>>1462541
The steps of the pardon process are relevant here because someone that has been pardoned was charged after the pardon was issued. There is the possibility however remote, that they don't accept the pardon.

Now I'm sure the government lawyers will argue that this doesn't relate to "offenses related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021", but that's gonna be a hard sell given that the bombs were dealt with during Jan 6 like 2 blocks from the Capitol.

You're the ass-hat that brought up Milley which is completely different and completely off topic, as you were repeatedly told by that other anon.
>>
>>1462357
>dailymail
The same newspaper that referred to Biden as 'The voice of reason and sanity' after he was elected.
So either you must agree with this ultra-trustworthy media platform in them saying the above and unquestionably accept what they said about that Democrat, or the Daily Fail never had the right to have any & all of their wrong opinions listened to in the first place.
Your choice.
>>
>>1462543
>There is the possibility however remote, that they don't accept the pardon.
Which nobody - including Milley - would ever fucking do, so this is a moot point.
>Oh yeah he has a get out of jail free card but he could choose not to use it so it doesn't count.

>You're the ass-hat that brought up Milley which is completely different and completely off topic, as you were repeatedly told by that other anon.
No it's completely relevant to this idea that you have to be charged or found guilty of a crime before you can be given a pardon. That might've been the case before Biden was in office, but thanks to his decision it turns out you can in fact get a pardon - a get out of jail free card - without ever being fucking charged with a fucking crime - especially with a BLANKET PARDON, meaning we have no fucking idea what you did between this time frame but it doesn't matter now. You've effectively got away with it.
>>
>>1462548
You sound outraged, shill. Do they pay you a lot to act that way
>>
>>1462547
Really amazing how the right has turned on The Daily Mail.
>>
>>1462548
>Which nobody - including Milley - would ever fucking do,
People have literally refused pardons before, dipshit. That's literally why we fucking know pardons aren't official until they're entered into the court record. That's fucking case law.

>No it's completely relevant to this idea that you have to be charged or found guilty of a crime before you can be given a pardon.
Nobody said that, fuckwad. You can be given a pardon at any time for any event in the past whether or not it happened and you were involved. But that pardon's not considered the state's business, nor is it officially used, until you pull that shit out in court. That's when the pardon is completed.

>That might've been the case before Biden was in office, but thanks to his decision it turns out you can in fact get a pardon - a get out of jail free card - without ever being fucking charged with a fucking crime - especially with a BLANKET PARDON, meaning we have no fucking idea what you did between this time frame but it doesn't matter now.

Biden is nowhere near the first president to pardon someone that hasn't been charged yet. Notably Johnson pardoned the entire fucking Confederate army.

>>1462548
Also given Trump's track record for prosecuting his political enemies, there's no way in hell I'm using that pardon unless I have to if I'm Milley.

Trump just got BTFO on the Letitia James case today by a fucking grand jury. Do you have any idea how bad you have to fuck up for that to happen?
>>
>>1462576
>Do you have any idea how bad you have to fuck up for that to happen?
Yeah. It started with the founding fathers, deciding to bring in immigrants to win elections. And then they gave them rights and they ran for office.
Many such cases.
>>
>>1462562
The American right thinks that the British right are leftists. Fucking Ben Shapiro had one of his trademark 'debates' with a British veteran right-wing pundit and got his ass kicked so bad that he crashed out on the livestream, accused him of being a leftist, and ragequit.
>>
>>1462606
>accused him of being a leftist
It's really telling how these freaks think that's some damning accusation.
>>
>>1462606
It's amazing how far to the right American politics has shifted in the past 40+ years. In terms of other political parties in the world, Republicans are considered one of the most fringe right wing groups close to outright authoritarian regimes.

Also Shaprio is one of the big reasons you cannot debate a conservative in good faith since they will always try to shift the argument or attack you to derail it and put you on the defensive. Andrew Neil showed how to deal with that where you just go' Fuck your derailment attempts, answer the question'

And the worst part? It was an interview, not a debate, this is the big reason why american conservatives hate the BBC
