Doubts About the J6 Pipe Bomber Case
Posted on 1/2/26 at 3:11 pm

The Blaze has published a good article which casts doubt about Brian Cole, Jr. being the J6 Pipe Bomber. It's worth the few minutes it takes to read it.
The Blaze: Not a Clear Cut Case
Highlights:
-cellphone pings do not establish locations consistent with bomber video
-they FOIA'd the 48-minute body cam footage from a 2024 traffic accident involving Cole (entire video included in article, along with snippets just showing relevant portions)
-walking style different from bomber video
-Cole uses his cellphone differently than person in bomber video maybe due to eyesight differences
-Cole's shoes appear larger than those worn in the bomber video
Of course, the most damning evidence against Cole is his alleged confession. As others have observed, autistic people more often than neurotypicals admit to crimes they did not commit. Also, Cole's confession came after two hours of denials (perhaps suggesting that he just wore down). The Blaze reporting showed a technical inconsistency with the alleged confession:
"The DOJ detention memo said Cole confessed to placing the bombs and his intention was that they would detonate at night on Jan. 5 and not the next day, on Jan. 6. The DOJ said Cole “set the timer on the first device to the maximum duration (60 minutes) and planted the device.”
Armitas said the surveillance video released by the FBI from a DNC security camera shows that the bomber took the device out of a backpack and immediately placed it under the bush near the base of the park bench. “Video from 2 different angles shows that the timer was never set,” Armitas wrote on X Monday.
“This device requires 2 full turns of the dial to set it,” Armitas wrote, “not to mention you have to unclip and reclip all the alligator clips, otherwise turning the dial will close the switch across those clips, shorting the detonator — Kaboom. As we can see in the video, the device is pulled out of the backpack and immediately placed.”

They have physical evidence.
They traced purchases which matched bomb components to Brian.
Brian had identical components in his room.
He confessed based on the evidence.
Don’t overthink it - it was Brian.

Thanks. You certainly might be right.
We'll see if the Government is ever forced to show their alleged evidence. I was encouraged to hear that the FBI allegedly has his confession on video.

I have followed the case very closely. My eyes are wide open.
SURE would like to see the video of his 4 hour interrogation.
