I believe spinning the narrative about the J6 insurrection took up most of the oxygen in the room. Once the democrats took control, the pipe bomber threat, if he was acting alone, turns out to be a random coincidence, but then why did it take the DoJ & FBI so long to figure out and identify this criminal mastermind? Was it just coincidence the VP elect wasn’t at the capitol and just happened to be at DNC HQ? Did someone get to the bomb sniffing dogs and their handlers as these devices were in plain sight. Can someone explain why the camera angles were changed that very day?

It wasn’t like there wasn’t pressure from investigative journalists or podcasters like Dan Bongino to find this hooded person. This suspect somehow remained illusive throughout the Biden administration, and then he becomes just the obvious choice and conveniently has left a trail of purchases dating back a year while he’s gathered material for his crime. Then he confesses and the packaging is complete. He’s guilty of something, I don’t know what, he’s not that smart, but some of the best sleuths we have are in the FBI, or at least I thought they were. Somehow, I don’t think we’ll ever know the truth about this, some kid will spend a lot of time in jail, maybe he’ll get the therapy sessions he needs to learn from this, if he doesn’t get abused by the population? It just seems that I’m being gaslighted and there’s more to this than will ever come to light. Is this the new transparency?

If he planted those devices in the manner described, he definitely wanted to convince anyone that might discover them that they were explosive devices.

He says he was the one who assembled and planted the devices, with the intent that they would explode.

Those two details should be enough to allow for detention until trial.

Since Day 1 when they were found, the FBI said they were viable. Here is the CRIME.

Anybody could tell by looking at the kitchen timer that they would not have gone off, including the lunch hour laundry lady. And the Dogs knew it too. C;mon, man.

So it’s ok with you fit anyone to announce he is going to blow up your house but since he’s too stupid or incompetent to actually do it your ok with letting him go? How about if he points a gun at you, pulls the trigger but nothing happens because he didn’t know to load the gun?

What if you walked by a piece of paper with a Picture of a Bomb on it?

If you think that's the same thing, you're a fool, at best.

Short of sundials and hourglasses, pretty much any timer would do, buUut (as you were clearly told) viability isn’t necessary: he’s toast.

National Treasure! Loved those glasses, look up Harbor Freight SEXTANT ...

This man was obviously Put Up to It. Who planned this? Why was he LATE? Duh...

First, you were reading too much out of this, and now? Maybe a bit too much into it… if there are connections? They have the data.

signcut's avatar

Yes, kitchen timer IEDs never work, which is why bomb squads actually use replicas as training devices... smh. Presenting opinion as (incorrect) fact only shows how little you know of the subject you are trying to speak on.

And if you really believe that the best sleuths/ investigators are in the fbi, I don't even know how to respond to that, other than it seems clear you watch too much television.

The guy intended harm or at least mayhem and should face the charges. It does not matter if his bombs were duds.

But honestly I gauge the guy as a simple 'tard and otherwise harmless. I'd be ok with sending him home pretrial.

It is pathetic that Dan Bongino was such a critic on his podcast of the pipe bomber that he was ok charging an autistic Brony black man. There is no way this is the guy. The way he walks and his mannerisms are exculpatory evidence. God knows how many FBI lists I’m on based on my purchase history.

Of course it doesn't matter, the point was not to detonate the devices, the point was to divert law enforcement away from the capitol. The diversion and the conspiracy behind creating it was the real crime, the fact that there were inert pipe bombs found is a lesser if not frivolous charge added to the main crime. You cant convince me some poor slob (Cole) had the insights to know when and where to strategically place those bombs to wreak the most havoc on J6, and the idea that it was just coincidence is preposterous. And we are supposed to believe we saw "him" on video waving to the police while delivering the devices just makes me laugh, no, this was an inside job through and through, in my mind the original female suspect still is the most likely perp, no question...

I agree 100 percent. This is a coverup for the capital police coup that day. It’s a shame that Patel is now involved in covering up for the cover up. He’s a slime ball.

MarilynV's avatar

Are we dealing with right & wrong or "relative truths"? I think the charges should stand.

URsomoney's avatar

Based on the evidence, video footage, etc. it’s pretty apparent that this guy has been thrown in as a patsy to make the whole thing go away.

The Outlaw's avatar

No but first it was reported a white-female D.C. Cop was the potential bomber? What happened to that?

Janeleslie's avatar

The government cannot let the American population know that the capital police were involved in January 6. That was squashed immediately. It was her. I just know it.

The Outlaw's avatar

I reckon so..Even Alex Jones is now going for this Black fella who I believe is sadly, mentally retarded. Yes, is was that white female DC cop and we all know it---those that were paying attention.

Randy Melder's avatar

What matters is that the incident was used as a tension-building exercise to exacerbate the rhetoric that J6 was an insurrection. Since that narrative has fallen apart, authorities are now leaking out critical details.

Thank you for sharing this information Techno!

I remain concerned that a DC jury will left this guy off. But if his defense is working this hard just to release him from detention, that seems to suggest they’re worried he gets convicted?

Boris's avatar

Actually, when this expert report was made public it could be seen as an argument against releasing the bomber. If the bomber was so inept at constructing his devices in 2021, the report contributes to his improvement. The expert points out the mistakes made originally and effectively provides suggestions for correcting them, enabling the bomber to create a functional bomb.

So if I’m a bad shot but try to assassinate someone, it’s no big deal??

This breakdown is exatly what I needed to understand the statutory side of this case. The distinction between operational failure and attempt liability is crucial, mens rea matters more than technical competence here. I wonder though if juries struggle with this concept when the devices were clearly duds. It seems counterintuitive at first that capability doesnt matter.

Charlotte's avatar

They will have to establish his mens rea in court. If they have supporting evidence that he intended for the bombs to go off, then there is intent.

However, there are mitigating factors, for instance, his mental diagnosis (if firmly established)of autism could cloud the mens rea determination. Can he have actual intent if his mental disability clouds his ability to actually form one, is it still punishable by law?

I think, as with so many of these cases now, that someone was grooming him online. Like Crooks and Robinson. If they find that person, they have a better case going after them and using this guy on the witness stand in some sort of plea deal.
