(J5 Pipe Bomber case)

Prosecutors will seek a superseding indictment against Cole, this time from a federal grand jury, next week. Image At the detention hearing on Dec 30, we learned that prosecutors had a 2-count indictment against Cole from a "local grand jury," meaning one empaneled by the Superior Court of the District of Columbia—not one empaneled by the federal court.

🧵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 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).

🧵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.

United States v. Arnold et al
(North Texas Antifa Cell)

Second Superseding Indictment filed.

This new indictment makes a small edit to the mention of a co-conspirator (not charged in this case, likely cooperating) and adds four pages concerning forfeiture upon conviction. Image The original superseding indictment named Nathan Baumann as the individual Alvarado PD gave commands to.

The second superseding indictment edits this to "a rioter."

Could be they are not 100% sure it was Baumann, as everyone was wearing "black bloc."

Or, maybe they don't want to articulate Baumann, who is uncharged, committing a crime of vandalism to govt property in a filing.Image
