J6 Pipebomber Says He Wanted to Hurt Both Parties

Matt Margolis reports on the DOJ's memo asking for the detention of the bomber.

Cole told investigators he followed the 2020 election controversy on YouTube and Reddit after things "started happening" and felt "bewildered" by what he saw. But it wasn't just one side that captured his attention. He believed that both major parties were ignoring legitimate concerns from voters who felt something was wrong. The real trigger? How both parties were dismissing and labeling those concerns.

"I really don't like either party at this point," Cole told agents when they asked him why he targeted both the RNC and DNC.

He wasn't some Trump cultist. He was angry at everyone in charge.

During his initial video interview, Cole denied everything at first. He claimed he drove his Nissan Sentra to D.C. alone to attend a protest. "I didn't agree with what people were doing, like just telling half the country that they -- that their -- that they just need to ignore it. I didn't think that was a good idea, so I went to the protest," he said. He insisted he's "never really been an openly political person" and avoids political talk with family to prevent conflict.

But after agents confronted him with surveillance footage, Cole admitted the truth. He said that he assembled the devices in the hours before driving to D.C. on January 5. He cleaned them with disinfectant wipes. He didn't go to attend a protest. He went specifically to plant bombs.

...

Cole told investigators "something just snapped" after "watching everything, just everything getting worse." He wanted to "do something 'to the parties' because 'they were in charge.'" His inspiration? The Troubles in Ireland. He denied that his actions targeted Congress or were related to the January 6 proceedings. In fact, the bombs had hour-long timers, so they weren't even supposed to go off on January 6.

Here's where it gets interesting. Cole felt that "the people up top" on "both sides" shouldn't ignore grievances or label concerned citizens as "conspiracy theorists," "bad people," "Nazis," or "fascists." If people believe their votes are being nullified, "at the very least someone should address it," he said. When something as important as voting seems tampered with, "someone needs to speak up."

I'm glad he isn't confirming the media's claim that he was animated to plant the bombs over Trump's completely-false claims of the election being rigged.

Because if he did, he'd be eligible for an insanity plea, because we all know 2020 was the most secure and fraud-free election in history.

Joe Rogan on Fulton County certifying 315K votes that LACKED poll workers' signatures in the 2020 election: "Weird that 36 out of 37 [advanced voting locations], that have unsigned tapes, are strong Democratic and that there are 315K votes that aren't supposed to be there."

"They didn't sign for--but so okay, don't worry about it. We just forgot to tally."

Shane Gillis: "F*ck it!"

Joe Rogan: "We forgot to tally. Whosies!... What a great move though, if they did steal the election."
