The trial of Brian J. Cole Jr., accused of planting pipe bombs near political party headquarters, is set for February (2027), after a judge rejected his argument that he should be covered by President Trump’s January 6 pardons.
A federal trial has been scheduled for February 16, 2027, for Brian J. Cole Jr., a Virginia man accused of planting pipe bombs near the Democratic and Republican National Committee headquarters on January 5, 2021. The devices, discovered on January 6, did not detonate, but Cole faces multiple charges, including terrorism and attempting to use weapons of mass destruction.U.S. District Judge Amir Ali, appointed by former President Joe Biden, set the trial date during a brief hearing. Earlier this week, Ali ruled that President Donald J. Trump‘s blanket pardons for more than 1,500 people charged in connection with the January 6 protests do not apply to Cole, rejecting defense arguments that his alleged actions were directly tied to the events at the Capitol.
The judge concluded the pardons were limited to offenses related to the Capitol protest itself and did not cover the separate bombing allegations. Cole was arrested nearly a year after the pardons were issued, and prosecutors say he confessed when questioned by FBI agents. Authorities allege he placed two pipe bombs outside the headquarters of the Republican National Committee and Democratic National Committee the night before the riot, though neither device detonated before being discovered on January 6.
A federal grand jury charged Cole with interstate transportation of explosives, malicious intent to use explosives, committing an act of terrorism while armed, and attempting to use weapons of mass destruction.
If convicted, Cole faces severe penalties, underscoring the government’s determination to pursue charges related to domestic terrorism.
Cole is an anarchist. His family has a history of anti-ICE activity, they sued the Trump administration and used Trayvon Martin’s Lawyer to fight so-called “racism”.
The Biden regime directed the FBI and DOJ to go after political dissidents from January 6, instead of going after terrorists. Chris Wray’s FBI jackboots raided hundreds of homes with dozens of armed agents after Trump supporters simply walked inside the US Capitol that day after they were waved in.
Most of those prisoners were convicted and sentenced to atrocious jail sentences for misdemeanors; i.e. “parading and trespassing”.
There was a a lot of shady bullshit on the part of the pipe bomb investigators.
A whistleblower stepped forward in 2022 and disclosed that the FBI was withholding information on the investigation.
The FBI then used the security camera footage from the Northern Virginia Metro stop to identify the license plate of a car associated with the suspect. They never followed up.
In 2024, Biden’s FBI confiscated all the evidence and shut down the investigation.
In November the suspect was incorrectly identified as a female former capitol cop by the name of Shauni Kerkhoff.
We’ll see how this trial goes.
