🧵(Disqualified) Interim US Attorney Lindsey Halligan's 120-Day Appointment is Up.

The United States District Court for EDVA has posted a vacancy notice, seeking someone to run that office.

1/n Image Even if you accept the argument that Halligan was lawfully appointed and should not have been disqualified, which is currently under appeal at the Fourth Circuit,... her time is up.

The 120 days have passed by.

So, there's a vacancy.

🧵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).
