Nearly five years after two viable pipe bombs were left outside the DNC and RNC headquarters on the eve of the January 6 riot, federal authorities announced the arrest of 30-year-old Brian Cole Jr. of Woodbridge, Virginia — an arrest that should answer uncomfortable questions about who knew what and when. Conservatives have every right to be furious that this suspect wasn’t brought to justice years ago while the country was told the full story about January 6.
According to prosecutors, investigators tied Cole to the devices through a mix of surveillance footage, cell-site data, license-plate reads, and purchases that matched bomb components — evidence that, on its face, looks like the kind of lead the FBI should have vigorously pursued from day one. Details reported by multiple outlets show careful forensic and digital work eventually led to the identification, which makes it even harder to accept that this case “languished” for years without resolution. Citizens deserve to know why those threads were not followed sooner.
At the Department of Justice news conference, Attorney General Pam Bondi bluntly said evidence had been “sitting there collecting dust,” a moment that confirmed what many conservatives have long suspected: political priorities under the prior administration meant cold cases tied to January 6 were not treated with equal urgency. That admission from the podium should be a stinging rebuke to anyone who pretended all leads were being chased equally during the Biden years. Americans who pay taxes and trust law enforcement deserve accountability when crucial leads sit idle.
The arrest also raises questions about timing and optics. The filing shows charges tied to transporting explosives and attempted malicious destruction, and officials say new attention to existing evidence produced the breakthrough — not a miraculous new tip — which feeds into a conservative narrative that investigations can be weaponized or neglected depending on who occupies the White House. The public must demand a full accounting of the investigative timeline so we can see whether politics delayed justice.
Despite the arrest, prosecutors have not publicly identified a motive or any direct tie between the bombings and the Capitol breach, and that absence of clarity fuels suspicion rather than soothing it. When answers are withheld or arrive only after political change, ordinary Americans are left to conclude there was a cover-up or at least a grave failure of priorities. The people who told us January 6 was “worse than 9/11” owe the country transparency about why this evidence wasn’t fully pursued for half a decade.
This moment should be a wake-up call to conservatives and patriots: insist on transparency, demand release of the investigative files, and push for a public accounting of decisions made by the prior Justice Department. If law enforcement is to be trusted and respected, it cannot be allowed to pick and choose which leads matter based on politics. The court process must now do what officials failed to do earlier — reveal the facts and let the American people judge whether this was justice delayed or justice denied.
