    I dont care who he supports, I'm just glad they finally caught him.

    Why would Biden's DOJ sit on this evidence if Cole was truly a Trump supporter? Just like J-6th something smells fishy here.

    The only thing fishy about J6th is the fact that there was an attempt by Trump and his supporters to overthrow an election.

    You have no idea that Biden's DOJ sat on anything.

    IDK, but Bondi said the DOJ has known who the pipe bomber was for the last 5 years and sat on the evidence instead of arresting Cole.

    The craziest thing is Merrick Garland was the biggest weasel of AG in modern history. This is the same dude that appointed a special prosecutor into biden and his son but somehow sat on evidence against Cole. Its just hilarious how utterly stupid that theory is.

    No evidence of course but trust me bro

    The answer to this question is easy. Garlands DOJ didn’t pursue because evidence is reportably not that great and circumstantial. Garland was incredibly risk adversed and his people sat on this one waiting for better evidence to come in via their crowdsourcing reward effort and nothing came in so it sat.

    Bondi’s DOJ cut anyone around this case so they are probably just now looking at some of this stuff that sat and they said “oh wait… our suspect for the pipe bombs is colored!!… let’s indict him and try to flip the narrative on Jan6”.

    They don’t care about winning convictions. They care about the politics.

    Also super important that Trump already pardoned this guy so he’s going to get off. Even if he isn’t a Trump supporter he would be an idiot to not go into that courthouse full maga and show his intent was related to January 6th so there is no way you could conceivably say he isn’t included in that insane blanket pardon trump gave anyone and everyone that day.

    I think the deeper question here is whether Bondis approach is better? Unfortunately if you look around you does anyone in the public care about justice ? Garland ran the doj by the books and what did it get him? He listened to Republicans and went after Hunter. He went after biden with a special prosecutor. What did it get democrats with the public? Any good will? You still had @Os Trigonum spewing NYPOST conspiracies every day.

    The sad reality is Trump has his finger on the pulse. The public are ****ing morons and playing by the books will get you nowhere in today's politics

    He’s black. They’ll find a way to blame him instead of claim him.

    Could've sworn that she said the evidence has been there for the last 5 years.

    This is where we are as a country.

    One side believes the Deep State will do anything to maintain power and the other side doesn't believe the Deep State exists.

    Sad that you believe this and view the world this way. Truth is Cole should've been arrested 5 yrs ago, I dont care if he was white/black/brown or green. It's kinda like people who think the uni bomber was right, or the young man who killed the insurance executive in cold blood. What's wrong is wrong, you can try to explain it away (Racistly in your case) but what he did was still wrong and Cole should do life in prison.

    Evidence Bondi claims the DOJ had for 5 yrs. I dont work for the DOJ, but they wouldn't have arrested Cole without evidence.

    Taking Bondi's DOJ statement at face value, the raw data and records were already available but not fully leveraged or analyzed. This means the prior DoJ didn't sit on knowing WHO the pipe bomber was... they simply failed to connect the dots. The phrase "sat on" implies the previous DOJ knowingly possessed a clear, actionable case and deliberately chose not to act for political reasons. There is no public evidence supporting that accusation. Instead, both past and current statements, along with court filings, describe a difficult case with limited leads that stalled until a new team reprioritized it and conducted more exhaustive analysis.

    Apparently, the suspect has confessed, though the FBI has not publicly reported a motive. What is reported is that he was disappointed in the 2020 election and believed the conspiracy that it was stolen. This suggests a Trump supporter who, disillusioned and radicalized by misinformation, planted the devices but ultimately didn't detonate them, perhaps losing his nerve at the last moment. More details will likely emerge as the case proceeds.

    that is basically what she said, but you claimed "Bondi said the DOJ has known who the pipe bomber was for the last 5 years and sat on the evidence instead of arresting Cole." that is clearly not the case.
