Justice Delayed, Not Denied-How FBI Cracked the DC Pipe Bomb Case Without New Leads · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: The DC pipe bomb suspect has now made his first
0:04
Speaker 1: court appearance. The family literally yelling in support of a
0:09
Speaker 1: man who made pipe bombs to kill innocent men, women,
0:12
Speaker 1: and children. The man accused of planning the pipe bombs
0:15
Speaker 1: near the Capitol appeared in that Washington courtroom, and the
0:19
Speaker 1: emotional family members called out messages of support. Now I
0:24
Speaker 1: want you to take a listen to what Pam Bondy
0:27
Speaker 1: had to say, crediting old, good fashioned police work for
0:31
Speaker 1: the DC pipe bomb suspect's arrests. Brian Cole, the Virginia
0:36
Speaker 1: man accused of placing pipe bombs outside the Republican National
0:39
Speaker 1: Committee and the Democrat National Committee buildings in DC in
0:43
Speaker 1: January of twenty twenty one, made his appearance. And what's
0:47
Speaker 1: even more shocking is why did it take so long?
0:51
Speaker 1: Was it because the FBI decided to look the other
0:53
Speaker 1: way on purpose? Call thirty was informed about the charge
0:58
Speaker 1: against him as he appeared before that judge. Government prosecutors
1:02
Speaker 1: told the magistrate that Cole spoke to law enforcement for
1:05
Speaker 1: over four hours on Thursday, and they would provide a
1:08
Speaker 1: transcript of the conversation for Cole's defense attorney over the weekend.
1:13
Speaker 1: Cole was wearing a tan jumpsuit and glasses and told
1:17
Speaker 1: the judge he did not understand the charge against him.
1:20
Speaker 1: Cole was not shackled for this appearance. Members of Cole's
1:24
Speaker 1: family were in the court room and yelled in support
1:27
Speaker 1: as he was let out. We love you, Brian. We're
1:29
Speaker 1: here for you, baby, is what you could hear them yelling. Now,
1:33
Speaker 1: the next step is a detention hearing. On December the fifteenth,
1:36
Speaker 1: Cole remained in federal cussy pending the next court proceedings. Now, also,
1:41
Speaker 1: let me remind you that during twenty nineteen and twenty twenty,
1:45
Speaker 1: Cole purchased multiple items consistent with components that were used
1:49
Speaker 1: to manufacture the pipe bombs placed at the RNC and DNC,
1:53
Speaker 1: authorities said in the courthouse. Then there's surveillance footage released
1:58
Speaker 1: by the FBI shows suspect placing the two explosive devices
2:02
Speaker 1: near the buildings in DC. The explosives found hours later
2:06
Speaker 1: by law enforcement were determined by the FBI to be
2:09
Speaker 1: viable devices that could have been detonated, resulting in serious
2:13
Speaker 1: injury or deaths. Cole was charged with transporting an explosive
2:17
Speaker 1: device in inter state commerce and with malicious attempt to
2:21
Speaker 1: destroy property using explosive materials. On Friday, the FBI Director
2:26
Speaker 1: Caspertel criticized the Biden administration over the handling of the case, saying, quote,
2:33
Speaker 1: this is a case that should have been sold by
2:35
Speaker 1: the previous administration. Five years later, justice is finally being delivered.
2:41
Speaker 1: It still wasn't easy, details of which will be shared
2:44
Speaker 1: more about at an appropriate time. But when you let
2:48
Speaker 1: good cops be cops, this is what happens. Here's more
2:53
Speaker 1: of the background on this and the Attorney general bonding
2:56
Speaker 1: on Fox News Channel.
2:58
Speaker 2: Good Morning, the US Attorney four d ZE Agent nine
3:00
Speaker 2: Piro described a search for the suspect as finding a
3:03
Speaker 2: needle in a haystack. But after years of looking, they
3:06
Speaker 2: believe the man that allegedly left the pipe bombs outside
3:09
Speaker 2: of the RNC and DNC on January fifth, twenty twenty one,
3:13
Speaker 2: is a thirty year old Brian Cole Junior. He is
3:15
Speaker 2: now facing two federal charges. Agents visited more than twelve
3:19
Speaker 2: hundred homes and businesses, conducted more than one thousand interviews,
3:23
Speaker 2: and reviewed approximately thirty nine thousand video files. But investigators
3:27
Speaker 2: say it was a new look at old information in
3:30
Speaker 2: the original file that broke the case. Court document state
3:34
Speaker 2: Cole's credit card history shows throughout twenty nineteen and twenty
3:37
Speaker 2: twenty he bought several materials that matched the components of
3:40
Speaker 2: the bombs. These include galvanized pipes and encaps, battery connectors,
3:45
Speaker 2: kitchen timers, and electrical wire. Cell phone records were also crucial.
3:50
Speaker 2: Cell phone pings indicate Cole's phone was allegedly in the
3:53
Speaker 2: area of the RNC and DNC the night of the crime.
3:56
Speaker 2: US officials say this is only the beginning of the
3:59
Speaker 2: investigation that are still search warrants being carried out. Authorities
4:02
Speaker 2: were spotted outside of Cole's home in Woodbridge, Virginia on Thursday.
4:07
Speaker 2: Investigators believe Cole acted alone. We have not yet learned
4:10
Speaker 2: of a motive, and he could face more charges. Range
4:13
Speaker 2: Ainsley and Brian.
4:14
Speaker 3: All right, thanks so much, Maddie. Let's bring in the
4:17
Speaker 3: Attorney General for the United States, Pam Bondi, Madame Attorney General,
4:20
Speaker 3: thanks so much for joining Fox and for ins this morning.
4:22
Speaker 4: Thank you, Thanks Lawrence.
4:23
Speaker 3: So let's talk about this case. Because the technology that
4:26
Speaker 3: y'all use to get this suspect off the street first,
4:30
Speaker 3: it was a huge root win for the country, but
4:32
Speaker 3: also for your department.
4:34
Speaker 5: It's not that new.
4:36
Speaker 3: So why didn't the last FBI and Department of Justice
4:39
Speaker 3: catch this guy Lawrence?
4:41
Speaker 6: And that's the great question. This case languished, It's set
4:45
Speaker 6: there for four years collecting dust. No one did anything
4:50
Speaker 6: to solve this. And right when Cashptel and Dan Bongino
4:53
Speaker 6: came in, Dan said to me, Dan said to all
4:56
Speaker 6: of us, I'm going to solve this case. He put
4:58
Speaker 6: a new team on it, working with Jinny and Piro,
5:01
Speaker 6: our US attorney, with Todd Blanche, with all of our
5:04
Speaker 6: attorneys at Maine Justice. A new team gathered on this case,
5:08
Speaker 6: old evidence, new people, great police work.
5:11
Speaker 5: That's all.
5:12
Speaker 6: It is, good old fashion police work. And it solved
5:16
Speaker 6: a case right from where I'm sitting. This bomb was
5:20
Speaker 6: planted at the RNC, a pipe bomb at the DNC.
5:23
Speaker 6: They were real, Thank goodness, they didn't detonate. Both bombs
5:27
Speaker 6: were real. And Laurence. Something else really special about the investigation.
5:32
Speaker 6: It was kept quiet. The entire investigation did not leak.
5:36
Speaker 6: It was kept quiet because we got someone who is
5:39
Speaker 6: charged with a very very dangerous crime off the streets
5:43
Speaker 6: and more to come. Pam, what did his parents know.
5:46
Speaker 6: I mean he was living at their house.
5:48
Speaker 3: Did they see was he building bombs in his bedroom?
5:51
Speaker 5: You know?
5:52
Speaker 6: All I can say is what you just saw. You
5:54
Speaker 6: saw a big, beautiful house. That's the suspect where he
5:57
Speaker 6: was living with his mother. That's been reported. I can't
6:02
Speaker 6: talk about any of the evidence, but it's ongoing. They
6:04
Speaker 6: are pouring through evidence. You know, you saw. Hundreds of
6:08
Speaker 6: agents are on this case because this is a very
6:10
Speaker 6: dangerous person. And again I believe there are more charges
6:13
Speaker 6: to come. But this is just the combination of great
6:16
Speaker 6: police work and all of my agencies working together, main Justice, FBI,
6:22
Speaker 6: US Attorney, along with the DC, Metro police, and the
6:26
Speaker 6: Secret Service in so many agencies. And that's what President
6:29
Speaker 6: Trump has promised to do, make DC safe again and
6:32
Speaker 6: the entire country.
6:33
Speaker 7: So, Pam, the key is going to be because he
6:36
Speaker 7: put in front of the RNC, the bomb and the
6:38
Speaker 7: DNC but thankfully didn't detonate. Are we closer to finding
6:42
Speaker 7: out what his motivation was? Is he upset with politics generally?
6:46
Speaker 5: Who did he follow? Who did he vote for?
6:49
Speaker 7: Now? Where did he show up in other places? Can
6:51
Speaker 7: you share any of that yet?
6:52
Speaker 6: Yeah? I can't. I've heard a lot of you know,
6:56
Speaker 6: reporting and rumors and online things, but I'm going to
6:59
Speaker 6: leave that up to the FB.
7:02
Speaker 1: This really is incredible to see the hard work of
7:05
Speaker 1: men and women in uniform and what a massive victory
7:09
Speaker 1: this is to make sure that a very dangerous individual
7:13
Speaker 1: is off the streets. There's also the politics in here
7:16
Speaker 1: which are just weird. I'll give you a great example
7:19
Speaker 1: of that. CNN host Jake Tapper misidentified the Washington DC
7:23
Speaker 1: pipe bomb suspect Brian Cole as a thirty year old
7:26
Speaker 1: white man, just before airing photos revealing him to be
7:30
Speaker 1: a African American man, a black man. Brian Cole, a
7:33
Speaker 1: thirty year old white man from the DC suburbs, is
7:36
Speaker 1: charged with transport and explosive device in inner state commerce
7:40
Speaker 1: and the malicious destruction by means of explosion, Tapper said
7:43
Speaker 1: in a show the Lead. Several minutes later, Taper's own
7:46
Speaker 1: program aired photos of Brian Cole. He is a African
7:50
Speaker 1: American man. This is another example of the politics. Why
7:55
Speaker 1: wouldn't you want to just tell the truth and say
7:57
Speaker 1: it's an African American man that did this.
8:00
Speaker 5: There's also others that have lied.
8:01
Speaker 1: They said they believe this is going to be a
8:03
Speaker 1: January sixth, Donald Trump maga person. When caught, we found
8:08
Speaker 1: out that this individual is anything but that. It's also
8:12
Speaker 1: clearly time to investigate the FBI who tried to take
8:16
Speaker 1: down Donald Trump but then also decided not to investigate
8:22
Speaker 1: a crime like this, which brings me to the central point.
8:27
Speaker 1: Thank goodness, on election day, Donald Trump was elected because
8:30
Speaker 1: if he wasn't, this guy would still be walking among
8:33
Speaker 1: us and had been for the last five years. Somebody
8:39
Speaker 1: needs to answer for that. Why why for five years
8:44
Speaker 1: did this happen? How is it that there were no
8:47
Speaker 1: new tips, no new leads. How is it possible that
8:53
Speaker 1: now is when we finally got him? And was it
8:56
Speaker 1: because Democrats decided this vigil didn't actually fit the narrative.
9:02
Speaker 1: That's the question everyone should be asking, which brings me
9:07
Speaker 1: to Cash Pattel.
9:09
Speaker 5: He is the man in charge the FBI.
9:11
Speaker 1: The Attorney General Pam Bonding and Judge Janine both standing
9:15
Speaker 1: side by side at the Department of Justice as they
9:17
Speaker 1: announce the arrest of the pipe bomb suspect. You have
9:21
Speaker 1: to ask yourself, why did it take literally years for
9:24
Speaker 1: someone to do their job. I want you to listen
9:26
Speaker 1: to what Cashpatel had to say his words, and again
9:29
Speaker 1: I played for you first because I wanted you to
9:32
Speaker 1: understand what the people working under him feel like when
9:36
Speaker 1: it comes to actually getting to do their job. You
9:39
Speaker 1: heard it there from Dan Bongino. But the man in
9:43
Speaker 1: charge the FBI. Listen to what he says.
9:45
Speaker 8: When you attack American citizens, when you attack our institutions
9:50
Speaker 8: of legislation, when you attack our nation's capital, you attack
9:54
Speaker 8: the very being of our way of life. In this FBI,
9:58
Speaker 8: in this Department of Justice stand here to tell you
10:01
Speaker 8: that we will always refute it and combat it. We
10:04
Speaker 8: will provide the safest country the nation has ever seen
10:07
Speaker 8: under President Trump's leadership here and that's what we did
10:09
Speaker 8: here today with great resolve on a case of massive
10:12
Speaker 8: public importance, as it should be. An individual who's now
10:15
Speaker 8: alleged to have placed multiple explosive devices to blow up
10:19
Speaker 8: multiple people at multiple officials, innocent civilians, is now arrested
10:24
Speaker 8: thanks to the brave men and women of the FBI
10:27
Speaker 8: and the Inner Agency. I want to take a moment
10:29
Speaker 8: to thank the Metropolitan Police Department, the United States Capitol Police,
10:34
Speaker 8: our brave prosecutors, the Department of Justice, and our leader,
10:36
Speaker 8: Attorney General Pambondi and US Attorney Jeanine Piro, whose relentless
10:41
Speaker 8: work on this case made this possible. As the Attorney
10:44
Speaker 8: General said, we did not discover any new information. What
10:48
Speaker 8: we did an investigation spearheaded by the Deputy Director and
10:53
Speaker 8: the adic of our Washington Field office, brought in a
10:55
Speaker 8: new team of investigators and experts, re examined every piece
10:59
Speaker 8: of evidence, sifted through all the data, something that the
11:03
Speaker 8: prior administration refused and failed to do. As a result
11:07
Speaker 8: of that, we generated numerous investigative leads, executed multiple legal
11:11
Speaker 8: process with the US Attorney partners.
11:13
Speaker 5: Let me just hit pause there. Did you notice what
11:16
Speaker 5: cash Patel said?
11:18
Speaker 1: He said that, in essence, the last administration didn't even try,
11:23
Speaker 1: didn't even actually work hard on the leads. Now, if
11:28
Speaker 1: you're if this is some petty crime and you're saying, hey,
11:31
Speaker 1: I just can't do this because it's petty and I
11:33
Speaker 1: don't have time and we've got other major crimes that
11:36
Speaker 1: we're having to figure out, okay, you could have that conversation.
11:40
Speaker 1: You could have that argument. You could say, look, there's
11:43
Speaker 1: other things, like I got to solve a murder over
11:45
Speaker 1: here that take precedent. That's not the case. The case
11:51
Speaker 1: here is pretty damn clear. You have an individual that
11:54
Speaker 1: goes into our nation's capital and sets down two bombs.
11:59
Speaker 1: They could have killed countless innocent people. And what did
12:03
Speaker 1: they do under the prior administration?
12:05
Speaker 5: Nothing?
12:07
Speaker 1: They just stopped caring, or no, let me rephrase that.
12:11
Speaker 1: It sounds like they didn't care at all. Forget stop caring.
12:15
Speaker 1: They never even tried, right, they never even tried. And
12:23
Speaker 1: I think that is the part that is so shocking
12:26
Speaker 1: here is that it was just like who cares?
12:30
Speaker 5: Now? Is that because they knew who he was?
12:32
Speaker 1: Is that because they didn't have a problem with it
12:34
Speaker 1: because they set a pipe bomb at the Republican National Committee?
12:38
Speaker 1: Did they not care because they were in theory, this
12:42
Speaker 1: probably would have blown up a bunch of conservatives that
12:46
Speaker 1: showed up on the you know, January sixth, the nation's capital, right,
12:50
Speaker 1: and that was maybe the target. So they're like, look, hey,
12:53
Speaker 1: this was literally a guy targeting Trump's supporters. So that's
12:58
Speaker 1: why we're okay with it. There's a lot of questions
13:01
Speaker 1: here that should be answered. Why did our government not
13:08
Speaker 1: accidentally fell deliberately stop trying to find someone that did
13:13
Speaker 1: what I just described? That is the question that everyone
13:18
Speaker 1: should be asking, and that's the question that everyone should
13:21
Speaker 1: be angry over. Now, I want you to keep listening
13:24
Speaker 1: to the FBI director and I want you to hear
13:26
Speaker 1: what he has to say on the second half of
13:28
Speaker 1: this as he's talking about how frustrated he is, as
13:30
Speaker 1: he should be like this is if you're in law enforcement,
13:34
Speaker 1: you should be enraged that you know that law that
13:39
Speaker 1: your government purposely failed. You deliberately chose to look the
13:46
Speaker 1: other way, deliberately chose to stop trying to find a
13:51
Speaker 1: individual that put pipe bomps. And we don't know what
13:54
Speaker 1: the hell else this guy did in the meantime. We
13:56
Speaker 1: don't know what he did in the last three or
13:58
Speaker 1: four years. We have no idea. Keep listening.
14:01
Speaker 8: It's incredible and came to this conclusion today, and that
14:05
Speaker 8: is why we were able to safely secure this individual
14:09
Speaker 8: into custody. Remember, we were dealing with an individual who's
14:12
Speaker 8: alleged to have made bombs. We cannot do this sort
14:16
Speaker 8: of takedown in haste because it endangers the lives of
14:20
Speaker 8: law enforcement. And this FBI will never allow the lives
14:23
Speaker 8: of law enforcement and our prosecutors to be put in jeopardy.
14:26
Speaker 8: This execution was flawless in terms of teamwork, resilience, and
14:32
Speaker 8: just a good old fashioned way of police getting the
14:36
Speaker 8: job done. When you let good cops be cops, this
14:39
Speaker 8: is what happens. I'm eternally grateful to the team behind me,
14:43
Speaker 8: to the leadership at the FBI who made this possible.
14:46
Speaker 8: But I do want to highlight when I introduced the deputy.
14:49
Speaker 8: He made this case and so many others, including summer heat,
14:53
Speaker 8: his priority to come in here and solve it for
14:56
Speaker 8: the American people. And today I'm proud to stay in
14:59
Speaker 8: here before you and say we solved it. He will
15:02
Speaker 8: have his day in court, the American public and the
15:05
Speaker 8: world will learn even more information through the legal process.
15:08
Speaker 8: As we have committed under this Attorney General, we are
15:11
Speaker 8: the most transparent law enforcement operation in US history. But
15:15
Speaker 8: we are also going to make sure accountability is delivered
15:17
Speaker 8: to its fullest extent, and that happens in the courts
15:20
Speaker 8: of law with our US attorneys and our prosecutors. So
15:23
Speaker 8: we will divulge information when it is prudent and constitutionally permissible,
15:27
Speaker 8: while upholding the safeguards of this case to make sure
15:30
Speaker 8: that the people that this individual intended to victimize, get
15:33
Speaker 8: the accountability to deserve, and most importantly, to deliver in
15:37
Speaker 8: President Trump's promise to secure our nation's capital and the
15:40
Speaker 8: rest of the cities in this country, to make sure
15:42
Speaker 8: that Americans are allowed to go out free and securely
15:46
Speaker 8: in their neighborhoods, and that people around the world are
15:48
Speaker 8: allowed to visit our nation's capital. And they now have
15:51
Speaker 8: that trust.
15:52
Speaker 1: This should never have become a political thing.
15:57
Speaker 5: Why is it?
15:58
Speaker 1: Because Democrats refuse use to do what the law says
16:02
Speaker 1: when it comes to law and order, They pick winners
16:05
Speaker 1: and losers. If you're one of their favorites, you can
16:09
Speaker 1: commit a crime and they don't care. The FBI Director
16:14
Speaker 1: Cash Matel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino, they are looking
16:18
Speaker 1: at this and they are furious. It's unprecedented what we
16:23
Speaker 1: have witnessed and now what we know. It is shocking
16:28
Speaker 1: to realize just how bad the FBI was run under
16:33
Speaker 1: the prior administration. The question that I think everyone should
16:38
Speaker 1: be asking is number one, what did they know and
16:41
Speaker 1: why did they not pursue it? Why did they just
16:45
Speaker 1: give up? Why did they just look the other way?
16:49
Speaker 1: I would even take it a step further and say
16:52
Speaker 1: why did they help this guy stay free for so
16:55
Speaker 1: many years when he was a threat to society, a
16:58
Speaker 1: threat to all of us, by the ways, a threat
17:01
Speaker 1: to Democrats.
17:02
Speaker 5: When a bomb.
17:03
Speaker 1: Goes off, it doesn't say, are your Republican or Democrat?
17:06
Speaker 1: It doesn't say who did you vote for? When a
17:08
Speaker 1: bomb goes off. Let's go back to the Boston bombing
17:11
Speaker 1: in the marathon. They don't care. It doesn't care if
17:14
Speaker 1: you're young. It doesn't care if you're old. It doesn't
17:19
Speaker 1: care if you're black or white. It doesn't care if
17:22
Speaker 1: you're Democrat or Republican. It doesn't care when the bomb
17:26
Speaker 1: goes off. Innocent people die in this administration for some reason,
17:32
Speaker 1: I should say, the prior administration, the Biden administration, said no, no,
17:36
Speaker 1: we're going to play politics because that's more important than
17:38
Speaker 1: anything else, and that is.
17:40
Speaker 5: Sick as it gets.
17:44
Speaker 1: We're getting more information about exactly what happened with the
17:47
Speaker 1: DC pipe bomber and how he was finally arrested, and
17:51
Speaker 1: we're also learning the shocking news that there was no
17:54
Speaker 1: new tip that came in that caused the arrest to happen.
17:58
Speaker 1: It was actually just information that hadn't been pursued, or
18:02
Speaker 1: information that hadn't been put together with evidence by the
18:07
Speaker 1: prior administration.
18:08
Speaker 5: And the FBI.
18:10
Speaker 1: What we now know is there's a man that's been
18:12
Speaker 1: charged for planting explosive devices outside the RNC and the
18:17
Speaker 1: DNC on January the fifth of twenty twenty one. And
18:21
Speaker 1: the only reason why we know who he is now
18:23
Speaker 1: is because Donald Trump and the men and women who
18:26
Speaker 1: put in charge of the FBI and the DOJ are
18:29
Speaker 1: now able to do their jobs the right way, which
18:32
Speaker 1: is law enforcement work in fighting crime. The Attorney General
18:36
Speaker 1: Pam Bondi putting it this way.
18:38
Speaker 6: Early this morning, Brian Cole Junior was arrested and charged
18:44
Speaker 6: with placing the pipe bombs at the RNC and the
18:47
Speaker 6: DNC on January fifth, twenty twenty one. He has been
18:52
Speaker 6: charged with violating eighteen USC. Eight forty four, which is
18:57
Speaker 6: use of an explosive device. Investigation is ongoing as we speak,
19:03
Speaker 6: Search warrants are being executed, and there could be more
19:07
Speaker 6: charges to come. Today's arrest happened because the Trump administration
19:12
Speaker 6: has made this case a priority. The total lack of
19:17
Speaker 6: movement on this case in our nation's capital undermined the
19:22
Speaker 6: public trust of our enforcement agencies. This cold case languished
19:30
Speaker 6: for four years until Director Patel and Deputy Director Bongino
19:36
Speaker 6: came to the FBI. The FBI, along with US Attorney
19:42
Speaker 6: Piro and all of our prosecutors, have worked tirelessly for
19:47
Speaker 6: months sifting through evidence that had been sitting at the
19:52
Speaker 6: FBI with the Biden administration.
19:55
Speaker 5: For four long years.
19:58
Speaker 6: Let me be clear, there was no no new tip,
20:01
Speaker 6: there was no new witness, just good diligent police work
20:06
Speaker 6: and prosecutorial work working as a team along with atf
20:11
Speaker 6: Capitol Police, Metropolitan Police Department, and of course the FBI.
20:18
Speaker 6: We are working every day to restore the public's trust.
20:23
Speaker 6: We hope that today is a significant step towards that progress.
20:28
Speaker 6: We'll share more information when when we can, and when
20:32
Speaker 6: it unfolds. I cannot stress enough how hard Director Patel
20:38
Speaker 6: and Deputy Director Bongino have worked for months to make
20:42
Speaker 6: our nation's capital safer and to make our country safer.
20:47
Speaker 1: You listen to Pam Bondi in what she had to
20:49
Speaker 1: say there, it's truly incredible that there was no new
20:53
Speaker 1: information that actually led to this arrest. Cash Battel saying
20:59
Speaker 1: this as well on TV in an interview.
21:02
Speaker 4: So there's been some uncertainty, you know, certainly online, so
21:06
Speaker 4: I don't know what's real and what's not. Sometimes it's
21:07
Speaker 4: a little hard to follow. But on when these devices
21:10
Speaker 4: were actually planted, you know, does this arrest crystallize the
21:13
Speaker 4: timeline at all in terms of, you know, the sequence
21:16
Speaker 4: of events that's sort of been you know, up in
21:18
Speaker 4: the air again, you know, especially online.
21:20
Speaker 5: It absolutely does.
21:21
Speaker 8: And I don't want to get ahead of the Department
21:22
Speaker 8: of Justice, but you're going to see a crystal clear
21:24
Speaker 8: timeline and picture in the next twenty four hours when
21:28
Speaker 8: this individual makes his presentment and first appearance in court
21:30
Speaker 8: and we proceed with the paperwork to his arraignment, that's
21:34
Speaker 8: where key pieces of information are going to be made
21:36
Speaker 8: public for the first time, because that's where key pieces
21:38
Speaker 8: of information legally must be made public for the first time.
21:41
Speaker 8: And we're not going to disrupt that process because that
21:43
Speaker 8: would hurt the integrity of investigation and most importantly, would
21:46
Speaker 8: hurt the integrity of the prosecution that's upcoming.
21:49
Speaker 1: You listen to Cash Battel, and what he's saying is
21:52
Speaker 1: you're getting transparency. He also made it clear and this
21:56
Speaker 1: is a Cash Betel tweet when Dan bond Gino and
21:58
Speaker 1: I came to the FBI and march the pipe bomb
22:01
Speaker 1: investigation installed for going on five years. We rebuilt it
22:06
Speaker 1: from scratch, rerunning every lead, retesting every piece of evidence,
22:11
Speaker 1: bring in top experts, and deploying new technology to engineer
22:14
Speaker 1: the break that finally nailed the suspect. Today is result
22:19
Speaker 1: of that outstanding work. We didn't need new evidence, just
22:23
Speaker 1: new leaders and a new President Trump willing to let
22:27
Speaker 1: good cops be cops. This goes exactly back to that principle.
22:34
Speaker 1: The President United States of America chose people to put
22:37
Speaker 1: in positions of power that understand exactly what they needed
22:42
Speaker 1: to do, which was go after the bad guys, arrest them,
22:46
Speaker 1: and make sure that men and women are safe. And finally,
22:50
Speaker 1: even Judge Janine said the DC pipe bomber was quiet.
22:55
Speaker 1: She also revealed insight into his low key personal life,
22:58
Speaker 1: saying federal authorities say they found bomb making materials in
23:03
Speaker 1: the suspects home. The US Attorney for the District of Columbia,
23:07
Speaker 1: judg Andine, revealing all of this after it was announced
23:12
Speaker 1: the indictment. Federal authorities arresting that thirty year old of
23:16
Speaker 1: Virginia Thursday morning, and yet again she re emphasized this
23:20
Speaker 1: important point that this was after a nearly five year
23:24
Speaker 1: long pause in essence of the investigation, involving millions of
23:29
Speaker 1: pieces of data. Now we have him, and Americans can
23:33
Speaker 1: sleep a little better knowing that the DC pipe bomber
23:36
Speaker 1: is behind bars. You have an individual that goes into
23:40
Speaker 1: our nation's capital and sets down two bombs. They could
23:44
Speaker 1: have killed countless innocent people. And what did they do
23:48
Speaker 1: under the prior administration?
23:50
Speaker 5: Nothing?
23:52
Speaker 1: They just stopped caring, or no, let me rephrase that.
23:56
Speaker 1: It sounds like they didn't care at all. Forget stuff caring.
24:00
Speaker 1: They never even tried, right, they never even tried. And
24:08
Speaker 1: I think that is the part that is so shocking
24:11
Speaker 1: here is that it was just like who cares?
24:15
Speaker 5: Now?
24:15
Speaker 1: Is that because they knew who he was? Is that
24:18
Speaker 1: because they didn't have a problem with it? Because they
24:20
Speaker 1: set a pipe bomb at the Republican National Committee?
24:24
Speaker 5: Did they not care?
24:25
Speaker 1: Because they were in theory this probably would have blown
24:29
Speaker 1: up a bunch of conservatives that showed up on the
24:33
Speaker 1: you know, January sixth, nation's capital, right, and that was
24:35
Speaker 1: maybe the target. So they're like, look, hey, this was
24:39
Speaker 1: literally a guy targeting Trump's supporters.
24:42
Speaker 5: So that's why we're okay with it.
24:45
Speaker 1: There's a lot of questions here that should be answered.
24:50
Speaker 1: Why did our government not accidentally felt deliberately stopped trying
24:56
Speaker 1: to find someone that did what I just described. That
25:01
Speaker 1: is the question that everyone should be asking, and that's
25:04
Speaker 1: the question that everyone should be angry over.
25:07
Speaker 5: Now.
25:08
Speaker 1: I want you to keep listening to the FBI director
25:10
Speaker 1: and I want you to hear what he has to
25:12
Speaker 1: say on the second half of this as he's talking
25:14
Speaker 1: about how frustrated he is, as he should be like
25:18
Speaker 1: this is if you're in law enforcement, you should be
25:20
Speaker 1: enraged that you know law that your government purposely failed.
25:28
Speaker 1: You deliberately chose to look the other way, deliberately chose
25:33
Speaker 1: to stop trying to find a individual that put pipe bombs,
25:38
Speaker 1: and we don't know what the hell else this guy
25:40
Speaker 1: did in the meantime, And what a massive victory this
25:44
Speaker 1: is to make sure that a very dangerous individual is
25:48
Speaker 1: off the streets. There's also the politics in here which
25:51
Speaker 1: are just weird. I'll give you a great example of that.
25:54
Speaker 1: CNN host Jake Tapper misidentified the Washington DC pipe bomb
25:58
Speaker 1: suspect Brian Cole as a thirty year old white man
26:02
Speaker 1: just before airing photos revealing him to be a African
26:05
Speaker 1: American man, a black man. Brian Cole, a thirty year
26:08
Speaker 1: old white man from the DC suburbs, is charged with
26:11
Speaker 1: transport and explosive device in inner state commerce and the
26:15
Speaker 1: malicious destruction by means of explosion, Tapper said in a
26:18
Speaker 1: show the Lead. Several minutes later, Taper's own program aired
26:22
Speaker 1: photos of Brian Cole. He is a African American man.
26:27
Speaker 1: This is another example of the politics. Why wouldn't you
26:30
Speaker 1: want to just tell the truth and say it's an
26:32
Speaker 1: African American man that did this.
26:34
Speaker 5: And there's also others that have lied.
26:36
Speaker 1: They said they believe this is going to be a
26:37
Speaker 1: January sixth Donald Trump maga person. When caught we found
26:42
Speaker 1: out that this individual is anything but that. It's also
26:47
Speaker 1: clearly time to investigate the FBI who tried to take
26:51
Speaker 1: down Donald Trump but then also decided not to investigate
26:56
Speaker 1: a crime like this, which brings me to the central point.
27:01
Speaker 1: Thank goodness, on election day, Donald Trump was elected because
27:05
Speaker 1: if he wasn't, this guy would still be walking among
27:07
Speaker 1: us and had been for the last five years. Somebody
27:14
Speaker 1: needs to answer for that. Why why for five years?
27:18
Speaker 1: Did this happen? How is it that there were no
27:22
Speaker 1: new tips, no new leads. How is it possible that
27:27
Speaker 1: now is when we finally got him? And was it
27:31
Speaker 1: because Democrats decided this individual didn't actually fit the narrative?
27:37
Speaker 1: That's the question everyone should be asking. Don't forget Share
27:41
Speaker 1: this podcast please with your family and your friends where
27:44
Speaker 1: whoever they are, and I will see you back here
27:47
