Hi everyone,
Nearly Five years after pipe bombs were planted outside the RNC and DNC the night before the January 6 rally in DC, a suspect has been apprehended. He was taken into custody at his family's Northern Virginia, Woodbridge home in an affluent neighborhood. He has already been charged.
Brian Cole Jr., who was in his mid-20s at the time of the incident, worked at a bail bonds company for his father. The company benefited from illegal immigrants to free them from ICE detainment. Cole Sr. and the company had even sued the first Trump administration's Department of Homeland Security, though a court ruled against him. The suit was over the treatment of illegal immigrant detainees in custody.
And for other matters, Cole Sr. and his company hired BLM lawyer Ben Crump, who was also retained by the family of Trayvon Martin. Cole Jr. is also linked to an anarchist ideology. The DOJ contends that Cole Jr. had bought "multiple items consistent with the components that were used to manufacture the pipe bombs placed at the RNC and DNC."
But apparently, the info that Cole Jr. was a likely suspect was already in the hands of the DOJ and it just hadn't been acted upon for this entire time. Perhaps the Biden administration just didn't care. "Our FBI teams have gone back over every fact and every data point looking for new leads – and today’s arrest is the result of that outstanding work," said Kash Patel.
In other news, The New York Times has decided to sue the Pentagon over its revised press policy. The Times claimed that the outlets that are currently covering the Pentagon were selected "based on viewpoint." And in so doing, they named The Post Millennial and other outlets.
Just a day ahead of the suit being made public, Pentagon press sec. Kingsley Wilson told The Post Millennial the status of the press corps when the new administration got to the building. "When we got here," she said, "we found a Pentagon press corps that was very entitled, that sort of had free rein over the building, was able to go wherever they pleased, trying to catch people coming in and out of their office."
We're not in the Pentagon to be sycophants or supporters of anyone or anything, we're there to report what happens, what officials say, and to let the American people make up their own minds what to think. It's a shame the Times decided to self-deport instead of sticking it out.
