Remember when Dan Bongino (before he became deputy director at FBI) was certain the Jan 6 pipe bomber was “an inside job?” Turns out the newly-arrested suspect is a MAGA 2020 election denier.
Last year, he said on his podcast that there was “a massive cover-up” in the case, which was an “inside job” launched by the federal government.
Then in January, he told his listeners that the FBI knew the identity of the bomber and “just doesn’t want to tell us because it was an inside job.”
“This was a setup – I have zero doubt,” he added.
It turns out…nope.

From CNN:
On Thursday, the FBI announcement the arrest of suspect Brian Cole, 30, who in Woodbridge, Va. He was charged with transporting an explosive device in interstate commerce and attempted malicious destruction by means of explosive materials.
During interviews with the FBI, the suspect arrested in the pipe bomb probe told investigators that he believed the 2020 election was stolen, providing perhaps the first indication of a possible motive for the bombs placed near the DNC and RNC headquarters, people briefed on the matter told CNN.
Brian Cole Jr. spent hours with FBI investigators and made multiple statements, the sources said. Dan Bongino, deputy FBI director, told Fox News on Thursday that the FBI had interviewed the suspect at length, but didn’t elaborate.
The FBI and the Justice Department apparently declined to respond to CNN’s report. Quel surprise…
