The FBI and DOJ arrested Brian Cole Jr, a 30-year-old Virginia man, as the suspect in the DC pipe bombing case from January 6th, 2021. Cole allegedly placed pipe bombs outside DNC and RNC headquarters in the early morning hours before the insurrection, diverting crucial police resources away from the Capitol during the attack. Cole is reportedly a Trump supporter who believed the stolen election lies that motivated the January 6th insurrectionists.
Trump issued blanket pardons for all January 6th participants on his first day of his second term, covering individuals with sentences ranging from 10 to 22 years in federal prison. Cole's defense attorneys will likely argue that Trump's January 6th pardons should apply to their client since his actions occurred on the same date and were motivated by the same election conspiracy theories. The legal question centers on whether Trump will extend a pardon to Cole, given that he pardoned everyone else connected to January 6th despite the severity of their crimes.
No one was injured and the pipe bombs never detonated, making Cole a loyal Trump supporter who acted on the former president's false claims about the 2020 election. The case raises significant questions about the scope and application of presidential pardons for January 6th related crimes and whether Cole's arrest and potential indictment will result in another Trump pardon.
