The FBI announced the arrest of Brian Cole Jr., a Virginia man suspected of planting the pipe bombs outside the DNC and RNC headquarters on the night of January 5, 2021, bringing a shocking end to a case that went unsolved for nearly five years. Federal prosecutors charged Cole with transporting an explosive device in interstate commerce and attempted malicious destruction by means of explosive materials, and authorities say forensic work tied purchases of bomb components to him.
Attorney General Pam Bondi bluntly told the American people that the evidence that led to this arrest had been “sitting at the FBI with the Biden administration for four long years,” a statement that ought to make every patriot furious and demand answers. The breakthrough, officials say, came only after a renewed, painstaking review of evidence — work that should have been done long before.
On his show, Sean Hannity rightly pressed the question the mainstream media won’t: how did Biden-era prosecutors and leadership at the FBI let this dangerous, politically charged case collect dust while the city and the nation waited for justice? Conservative commentators and watchdogs are not interested in polite euphemisms; hardworking Americans want to know whether politics and misplaced priorities put public safety on the back burner.
The arrest should be celebrated for getting a dangerous suspect off the streets, but celebration does not excuse accountability. If evidence was accessible and actionable years ago, why were FBI resources not marshaled then to find the bomber and close this terrifying chapter? Voters deserve a full accounting from those who ran the Justice Department and the FBI while this case languished.
Credit where credit is due: the new team of investigators who reexamined the evidence deserve praise for tenacious, old-fashioned police work that finally produced results. But praise should be paired with hard questions for the previous administration’s leaders — questions Republicans in Congress, conservative media, and every concerned citizen must keep asking until there are clear answers and, if warranted, consequences.
This moment lays bare a larger problem: when law enforcement becomes politicized or distracted by narratives, ordinary Americans pay the price. We must insist on an FBI and Justice Department that puts public safety above politics, that chases leads instead of headlines, and that earns back the trust of the American people. The country that raised its voice for law and order in 2020 expects no less.
