🧵United States v. Cole
(J6 Pipe Bomber case)

Minute Entry:
Following today's detention hearing, Cole remains held without bond as the judge considers each side's motions.

1/5 Image
MINUTE ORDER:

A D.C. Superior Court grand jury returned a two-count indictment against Cole for the same two counts charged in the criminal complaint—18 U.S.C. 844(d) and 844(i).

This indictment has not been filed publicly but was presented to the judge yesterday.

2/5 Image
Federal prosecutors using a local grand jury in this way is a new thing in DC. It came about thanks to the Trump Admin's push to neutralize criminal activity in the capital.

But the issue is currently before the Court of Appeals.

🧵United States v. Cole
(J6 Pipe Bomber case)

New filing from Defense opposing Cole being held in jail pending trial.

"Mr. Cole should be released pending trial because the governing, multi-factor analysis demonstrates that bail is required..."

Hearing today at 1pm. Image
"The defense’s position is that the government cannot continue to keep Mr. Cole in custody absent a valid finding of probable cause." Image
"Probable cause or not, Mr. Cole should be released pending trial."

"two essential principles of law that govern bail hearings"

1) The default position is release unless there is "a concrete, prospective threat to public safety that cannot be mitigated"

2) Guilt is irrelevant; only the evidence that the defendant is dangerous matters as regards a bail hearing.Image

🧵United States v. Cole
(J6 Pipe Bomber case)

NEW FILING: Cole CONFESSED to making and planting the pipe bombs on J5

and

The J5 pipe bombs had nothing to do with the events of J6.
There's some new info in this filing:

- The post-arrest interview was hours long and video recorded.

- "Over the next approximately one and one-half hours, the defendant walked the interviewing agents in detail through his construction, transportation, and planting of the pipe bombs."

- Brian Cole Jr "reset" or "wiped" his Samsung smartphone 943 times between December 2020 and December 2025.

- The pipe bombs "were viable explosive devices."

- FBI found pipe bomb components in Cole Jr's home and in his vehicle.

-"According to the defendant, 'no one knows' his political views, including his family."

- "He made the black powder in the devices using charcoal, Lilly Miller sulfur dust, and potassium nitrate that he purchased from Lowes."

- He "denied that his actions were directed toward Congress or related to the proceedings scheduled to take place on January 6."

- Motive: "he explained that 'something just snapped' after 'watching everything, just everything getting worse.' The defendant wanted to do something 'to the parties' because 'they were in charge.' 'I really don’t like either party at this point.'"
The most important takeaway from the filing:

The J5 pipe bombs had nothing to do with the events of J6.

None of the popular narratives about the pipe bombs and how they fit into either side's J6 story are correct.

United States v. Cole
(J6 Pipe Bomber case)

A new filing by prosecutors states,

"Following his December 4, 2025 arrest, the defendant waived his Miranda rights and gave a detailed confession to the charged offenses."Image
Prosecutors filed this memo in support of their oral motion for Brian J. Cole, Jr., to be detained pending trial.

Cole has a detention hearing coming up on December 30, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. Image
Much of the news memo is simply restating the same information that is in the affidavit when Cole was arrested.

🧵The same phenomenon of perception exists in politics and so much else.
We rarely perceive a person, idea, or event exactly as it is/they are—we instead make a near-automatic inference based on context, emotions, the social status we attach to it/them, and the narratives that surround it (or don't).
We make these calculations instantaneously, without prompting.

Just like we all did when we first glanced at the example above and perceived the batteries to be of differing sizes, we do the same thing to people, ideas, and events. Right? : )

🧵Former Special Counsel Jack Smith wants video of his 8-hour deposition released and continues to ask for the opportunity to testify in a public hearing.

This has been Smith's repeated request since October. Image
The reason it wasn't public is because House Judiciary Committee chair Rep. Jim Jordan declined to make it so.

Though he didn't rule out a future public hearing. Image
It would be great to get the video of the 8-hour closed-door session released and also have a public hearing.

Both sides will use it for political gain and reinforcement of their preferred narratives, so it will be annoying in that way but could also be useful...
