In a late night filing, the DOJ filed a memorandum supporting the pretrial detention of the J6 pipe bomber, Brian Cole Jr. His motive was definitely a little different than what the media wants us to believe it is.
For example: Politico
A Virginia man arrested earlier this month repeatedly cited conspiracy theories about the 2020 election when he confessed to placing pipe bombs outside the headquarters of the Democratic and Republican National Committees on Jan. 6, 2021, according to a Department of Justice filing.
The Justice Department had not previously detailed a motive for the attempted attack or any possible connection between the pipe bombs and the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection. But in a Sunday filing — ahead of his detention hearing, scheduled for Tuesday — the DOJ said suspect Brian Cole Jr. told investigators he “was going to a protest in support of [then President] Trump” on the day of the attack.
The New York Times adds their two cents.
The Virginia man arrested this month on charges of placing two pipe bombs in Washington on the night before a pro-Trump mob stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, has given a detailed confession, according to court papers released on Sunday night.
In the public first hint at a motive in the case, the documents said that the man, Brian J. Cole Jr., felt he needed to “speak up” after he began to suspect that the 2020 election, in which President Trump was defeated, had been “tampered with.”
Just looking at that, people aren’t going to read any further. They aren’t going to read about what felonies he is being charged with.
