    "body": "<p>For nearly five years, two pipe bombs planted outside the Democratic and Republican National Committee headquarters remained one of the most baffling mysteries surrounding January 6. Now, with Brian Cole Jr. indicted and facing a February trial, <strong>investigative journalist Alex Newman, of the Liberty Journal</strong>, can examine whether the government finally solved the mystery, or simply found a suspect.</p><ul class=\"release-content-list release-content-list--bulleted release-content-list--align-inherit\"><li><span><strong>Five years passed before anyone was arrested for the J6 pipe bombs</strong></span></li><li><span><strong>Gait analysis initially pointed investigators toward a different suspect; Cole nabbed very soon thereafter</strong></span></li><li><span><strong>Brian Cole Jr. faces trial despite disputed physical evidence</strong></span></li><li><span><strong>Cole&rsquo;s alleged confession raises questions about his interrogation</strong></span></li><li><span><strong>Unsealed records could expose major flaws in the investigation</strong></span></li></ul><p>The devices were planted on the evening of January 5, 2021, within blocks of the U.S. Capitol, yet the person caught on surveillance video remained unidentified despite a massive FBI investigation involving more than 50 agents. The bombs were discovered the following afternoon, diverting law-enforcement resources at a critical moment as the Capitol was being breached.</p><p><strong>ABOUT ALEX NEWMAN&hellip;</strong></p><p>Alex Newman is an award-winning international journalist, educator, author, speaker, investor, nationally syndicated radio host, and consultant who seeks to glorify God in everything he does.
