The long-simmering mystery of the pipe bombs planted on the eve of January 6, 2021 has finally produced a named suspect: Brian J. Cole Jr., arrested and charged this week with transporting and planting two improvised explosive devices outside the RNC and DNC headquarters. This arrest, detailed by the Department of Justice, proves that persistent, thorough law enforcement work can still deliver justice even when the swamp for years allowed cases to gather dust.
FBI Director Kash Patel made plain what many conservatives have suspected: the prior handling of this case was painfully slow and, at best, incompetent. Patel told Fox News that the evidence sat idle for years until his team reopened and re-examined the files with fresh energy and focus, a vindication of the reforms Republicans have pushed for to restore real investigations rather than political theater.
Patel didn’t mince words when he described the work of rooting out entrenched abuse as taking on a “diseased temple” of weaponization built up over decades — language that may rile the elite media but rings true to anyone who watched federal power be used selectively. That sort of blunt talk is exactly what the FBI needed after years of partisan gamesmanship; conservatives should applaud a director willing to name the rot and tackle it head-on.
Make no mistake: this arrest isn’t just a win in one case, it’s proof positive that relentless field work, modern forensics and accountability can break cold cases the swamp hoped would never be solved. The DOJ’s complaint and the supporting investigative details show methodical detective work—license-plate reads, cellphone data and purchase histories—nothing flashy, just solid policing that protects everyday Americans.
We should also call out the comfortable media class that spent years weaponizing narratives instead of demanding results; when real crimes go unsolved, the public loses confidence and the country becomes less safe. Now that a suspect has been caught through hard work and not through headlines, the press and the left should stop politicizing every development and praise the men and women who got this done.
Still, vigilance matters. Director Patel’s promise to keep pulling on threads of corruption — and to expose weaponization where it exists — must be followed by transparency and prosecutions, not secrecy or selective enforcement. Conservatives want an FBI that defends the Constitution, not one that picks winners and losers in politics; this arrest is a step in the right direction, but it must be the new standard, not the exception.
Americans who love law and order should take hope from this development and demand more of Washington’s institutions: accountability, competence, and equal justice under the law. Support for bold reforms that put investigators back in the field, empower honest agents, and purge politicized units is no longer rhetorical — it’s necessary if we want a government that serves citizens rather than targeting them.
