But the FBI isn’t sure what motivated the suspect, Brian Cole Jr., to allegedly plant bombs outside GOP and Democratic party headquarters on the evening before the Jan. 6 Capitol attacks.
The man charged with planting pipe bombs outside Republican and Democratic national party headquarters before the Jan. 6 Capitol riots told the FBI he supported Donald Trump and leaned toward anarchist ideologies, according to two people familiar with his interview.
Brian Cole Jr., 30, who was arrested Thursday at his family home in a Northern Virginia exurb of Washington and criminally charged, confessed to the FBI that he planted the bombs near the Capitol on Jan. 5, 2021, according to two sources familiar with Cole’s interview who requested anonymity to speak about a sensitive ongoing investigation.
Investigators said that Cole expressed support for anarchist ideologies in the past but they found no evidence that he colluded with militant organizations or with any Trump supporters who organized the breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, the sources told MS NOW’s investigative reporters Ken Dilanian and Carol Leonnig.



How can you support Trump and anarchy? He obviously wants to be a king/dictator, which is definitionally the anthesis of anarchy.
he wants the law not to apply to him but these he doesn’t like.
“So you say you’re tired of the weakness and degeneracy of society and want to tear down a government that you think coddles the weak and doesn’t allow the master race to subjugate everyone else under their hierarchy? Well, I don’t think I need to take a political science course to know an anarchist when I hear one!” - cops (actually)
“Well, if a duly sworn law enforcement officer says so it must be true.” - journalists (actually)
