The Biden administration didn’t give a damn concerning the pipe bombs left by the RNH/DNH. Most likely they knew who he was but left the investigation linger until directors Patel and Bongino went full bore.
After a lengthy investigation, the PERP has been identified as a malcontent. We commend the FBI for their efforts. However we take issue with the Biden administration lack of investigative prowess. Of course they must have surmised him/her to be a Democrat.
How chihuahua-walking, ‘autistic-like’ pipe-bomb suspect Brian Cole Jr. stumped Biden’s FBI for years

The confessed Jan. 6 pipe bomber flummoxed former President Joe Biden’s FBI before he was arrested and charged this week with planting the explosives outside the headquarters of both major political parties’ buildings in Washington, DC.
President Trump’s FBI, led by Director Kash Patel, and prosecutors have released few details about the accused 30-year-old’s motivations, but investigative leads that law enforcement officials and congressional committees disclosed in the years preceding the bomber’s arrest point to how agents found it so difficult to apprehend him.
“This case languished. It sat there for four years, collecting dust. No one did anything to solve this,” declared Attorney General Pam Bondi on “Fox and Friends” Friday morning. “Old evidence, new people, great police work, that’s all it is. Good old-fashioned police work.”
“All we can go off at this point is what the FBI has said and that is they put a fresh set of eyes on evidence the FBI has had for almost five years,” added a House Republican aide involved in an investigation into the pipe bomb. “It’s either incompetence or gross negligence.”
Relatives, neighbors and sources familiar with the investigation into Brian Cole Jr. who spoke with The Post have also painted a picture of a “naïve” young man — likely on the autism spectrum — who wouldn’t have thrown up red flags while trotting out a pet chihuahua for walks near his family’s home in Woodbridge, Va.
“He’s almost autistic-like because he doesn’t understand a lot of stuff,” Cole’s grandmother Loretta said when reached by phone Wednesday for comment. “He’s not a terrorist. … He’s very naïve. He would not hurt a fly. He’s just not that kind of person.”
The affidavit filed Thursday highlighted how video surveillance cameras of the suspect, cell phone data and a purchasing history that matched the component materials for the bomb are the only publicly available evidence tying Cole to the act of potential political violence.
Federal campaign finance records and voter data hasn’t pointed to Cole having strong political views either, with some sources indicating he believed that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from Donald Trump — but he also made conflicting statements during a four-hour interview with investigators Thursday when he copped to the crime.
