The latest update can be found on this link. There is no evidence yet he was tied to Antifa as some reports indicated. The motive might be race-related.
Update, 13:00: He’s a former U.S. Air Force explosives expert. Sources indicate his father may own Brian Cole Jr. Bail Bonds in nearby Fairfax, Virginia.
The home currently being raided in Woodbridge, Virginia probably belongs to his father. He is possibly unmarried.
His alleged photo can be found here.
Update: According to Julie Kelly and NBC News, the suspect in the bombing suspect of J6 has been identified as Brian Cole, 30. “He is on tape planting the bombs.
Did the FBI hide this information? As they were impeaching Donald Trump, silencing skeptics, this bomber showed up. The left liked the narrative of blaming J6ers for the bombs so they certainly didn’t try very hard to find this guy.
They reportedly partially identified him from his gait. I can’t confirm that. Some have identified him as a bail bondsman, but I can’t post this information or his photo until it’s confirmed.
🚨 NEW: Brian Cole, 33, of Virginia, has been taken into custody — the FBI says they’ve finally got their suspect.
They’re pointing to a spot-on match in the 2021 security footage: the walk, the Nike Air Max Speed Turf shoes, the hoodie, mask, glasses, and gloves. As some are… pic.twitter.com/x9wY7ldlCx

Original Story
The FBI has arrested a suspect in the investigation into pipe bombs planted near the Republican and Democratic national party headquarters in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 5, 2021, according to a federal law enforcement official familiar with the investigation.
The FBI has arrested a Virginia man accused of laying pipe bombs near the Capitol on the eve of the January 6, 2021 riots.
Officials have not yet named the suspect, who sources told ABC News is from Virginia.
Federal investigators have said an individual placed one pipe bomb near the Democratic National Committee headquarters and another near the Republican National Committee headquarters on the eve of the Jan. 6 siege on the Capitol.
The bureau published photos, videos, and a description in an attempt to find the suspect. The FBI has said publicly that the suspect is estimated to be about 5 feet, 7 inches tall and was wearing Nike Air Max Speed Turf shoes with a gold logo.
In 2023, the FBI raised the reward for providing information that led to an arrest from $100,000 to a whopping $500,000.
The FBI has said the pipe bombs, which were discovered on Jan. 6 about 15 hours after they were placed, were viable devices that could have seriously injured or killed bystanders. The bureau has said investigators have conducted more than 1,000 interviews and reviewed tens of thousands of video files.
The conspiracy theories might over and we might all soon have the truth. So, what do you think? Left, right, crazy or some combination?
I trust the FBLie as much as I trust Hillary Clinton.
Why weren’t the old agents that failed fired? The announcement on TV live by Bondi, Kash. Bongino and others was entirely sickening. They were cheerleading for each other, complimenting everyone with lavish praise, using slogans, admiring the great teamwork. Maybe they should pin medals on each other. That sort of praise is artificial. It shows they know they have a… Read more »
They said they had no new information, yet they sat on that “old” information for 11 months….. until The Blaze said they knew who the Bomber was….. and then and only then suddenly the FBI finds the guy!?!
but very conveniently it is not the same as the Blaze identified…it is not the CIA girl…How convenient
Also strange timing…
I don t believe he is the pipe bomber. Odds are 99.9% it was that woman who right after jan 6 was hired by the CIA. Remember how the media and even Democrats were protecting Ray Epps who was the ONLY jan6 er who is on video inciting violence ? How we had to twist the arm of Chris Wray… Read more »
A few weeks ago some journalist had solid evidence it was a woman… who was quickly hired by the CIA right after jan6… Now they say it is a man… Is that true or is he a patsy because the real culprit, the woman, is totally protected by the CIA and/or the Deep State ? Who should we believe when… Read more »
The story about the woman was persuasive. She had to be a leading suspect. Maybe they are both involved.
I’m sure our government is guilty, because of all the other suspicious activities on J6. It was a government plot.
And as far as I know that woman despite having her photo everywhere on the internet and being called the pipe bomber, she never sued The Blaze for defamation, she was never invited on CNN to tell us she is innocent and may sue The Blaze
I am surprised she has remained so quiet
That too is unusual
The CIA has told her to keep quiet.
My hunch is they will want to prosecute the person without any government connection admitted. There are too many things about this which point to a conspiracy. The bombs were planted in a way which does not fit the story, regarding when they were planted. Authorities showed no alarm when the dem bomb was supposedly discovered. They did not section… Read more »
BS! The FBI planted the pipe bombs. It was their back up plan in case Pelosi’s staged insurrection failed.
Until facts prove differently, I believe this was a covert operation set up by Wray’s FBI.
