➡ The FBI is seeing positive changes with new leadership, as they’re successfully catching more criminals. Early critics are now acknowledging the effectiveness of this new approach. While there’s still work to be done in ongoing investigations, this progress shows the impact of President Trump’s directive to prioritize solving crimes. This is seen as another victory for the Trump administration, indicating competent leadership.

We’ve got some breaking news here. News we’ve been waiting for for over four years, and what you’re about to find out is going to shock you to the core. It turns out the FBI had every clue they needed to catch a terrorist, and they did absolutely nothing. Until now. Just hours ago, FBI agents swarmed a quiet Virginia neighborhood just 20 miles from DC, where it was announced that they arrested the man they believe planted two viable pipe bombs outside the headquarters of both major political parties. Bombs that could have killed innocent Americans.

The suspect is a 30-year-old male by the name of Brian Cole Jr., a man with alleged anarchist ties who’s been living freely this entire time. While the Biden administration’s FBI was too busy raiding pro-life grandmothers and targeting parents at school board meetings, and here’s what’s infuriating. They didn’t need new evidence to catch this guy. They didn’t need a new tip. As always, we just needed a new president. Attorney General Pam Bonny confirmed it herself. This arrest happened because the Trump administration made it a priority. This cold case languished for four years until Director Patel and Deputy Director Bongino came to the FBI.

The FBI, along with U.S. Attorney Peiro and all of our prosecutors, have worked tirelessly for months sifting through evidence that had been sitting at the FBI with the Biden administration for four long years. Let me be clear. There was no new tip. There was no new witness. Just good, diligent police work and prosecutorial work, working as a team, along with ATF, Capitol Police, Metropolitan Police Department, and of course, the FBI. On the night of January 5, 2021, a hooded figure walked through Capitol Hill carrying a backpack. At 7.54 p.m., he placed a homemade bomb outside the DNC.

22 minutes later, another one outside the RNC. Now, these weren’t fake devices. The FBI has confirmed they are viable bombs constructed from galvanized pipes, kitchen timers, and homemade black powder. And here’s the detail that should make your blood boil. These bombs sat there for 15 hours before anyone found them. It’s actually one of the reasons why so many believe this was an inside job. Despite Secret Service and federal agents supposedly scouring through these neighborhoods and city streets to pre-screen security the day before the JSX protests, drawing hundreds of thousands, somehow they completely overlooked both devices.

The Secret Service never found them. They only discovered the bombs as a capital chaos was already unfolding the next day, diverting critical law enforcement resources away from the Capitol building. Again, another rather odd detail in all of this. Now, as Pam Bondi made clear, for years, the FBI had surveillance footage. They had cell phone tower data. They conducted over a thousand interviews. They even were able to identify the perpetrator’s shoe print in the snow and determine it was made by Nike Air Max Speed Turfs. And they were able then to subpoena credit card records from Footlocker and other chains as they worked to narrow down potential buyers, even narrowing down the size of the shoe.

And for four years under Biden, nothing. With all those leads, with all that data, nothing. So then, Cash Patel and Dan Bongino, they take over at the FBI. And within months, Bongino announced that they were taking a fresh look at the case. They brought in new personnel. They flew in detectives as task force officers. They conducted internal evaluations. They reran every lead. And what did they find? It turns out the evidence was sitting there right in front of them the entire time. Law enforcement sources are now admitting this suspect could have been arrested years ago if investigators had simply connected the dots.

Now, think about that. A domestic terrorist walking free for almost half a decade, not because catching him was impossible, but because the previous FBI leadership frankly didn’t appear to want to catch him. Now, in terms of who this guy is, the suspect, Brian Cole, thus far authorities have really not released a lot of details. He was arrested in Northern Virginia where he reportedly resides. And as of the making of this video, authorities have not yet released additional details about the suspect, including his age or specific background. I’m sure we’ll be finding out those details in the hours ahead.

But the much, much deeper question to all of this is, why did the Biden administration so obviously drop the ball? Why did the FBI fail so miserably in this case? I mean, after all, this is clearly yet another win for the Trump administration, is it not? In fact, the last 12 months have been an absolute nightmare for the left. President Trump and the MAGA movement have delivered blow after blow to the Democrats. But if you notice, now they seem to be rallying around this new theme of affordability, affordability, you know, inspired by Zora Mamdani’s election.

And so we’re seeing this narrative pervade among the left-wing media, the legacy media, they’re just mouthpieces for the Democrats. In the last few weeks, it seems like every other headline has the word affordability in it. But gang, is it really true? I mean, the fact is that after inheriting the worst inflation crisis in 40 years from Sleepy Joe and the Democrats, the Trump administration’s actions to unleash American energy slash regulations crush inflation are translating into some of the lowest gas prices in the last four years. Not only gas prices down, but wages are up.

And we added nearly 120,000 new jobs to the American economy, which have mostly gone to native born Americans. In fact, the jobs increase beat all 67 forecasts in Bloomberg survey. And the stock market, it keeps hitting all time highs. Absolutely incredible stuff. Trump is reshaping the entire economy. The only question is, will you be an active participant or are you going to be sitting on the sidelines watching everyone else build wealth?

A congressional report released back in January found that the FBI initially gathered a promising collection of data and identified numerous persons of interest in the early weeks of the investigation of the bomber. However, it was soon discovered that resources were subsequently redirected, resulting in quote, minimal, meaningful advancement toward apprehending the suspect.

It turns out that the initial investigation had essentially stalled by the end of February 2021, less than two months after the incident. Now, why did this investigation stall? Because the FBI deprioritized. They deprioritized the pipe bomb case in favor of pouring enormous resources into prosecuting J-6 rioters whose faces were clearly visible on camera, cases that serve the political narrative of the Biden administration that this was an insurrection. The bureau had conducted over a thousand interviews. They reviewed 39,000 video files related to the pipe bombs, yet they couldn’t identify a single suspect whose movements they had mapped out in detail.

Meanwhile, they prosecuted hundreds of J-6 participants with far less evidence, all in the name of the Biden administration’s penchant for weaponizing the law against their political enemies. Perhaps most damning, as we noted earlier, the breakthrough that led to Brian Cole’s arrest didn’t come from a shred of new evidence. Law enforcement sources confirmed the evidence needed to make an arrest was literally sitting on their desks. What happened? And this is according to investigative reporter John Solomon, is that approximately six weeks ago, Dan Bongino and Kash Patel made a very critical decision.

They removed the original agents from the case and they assembled an entirely new team. Despite initial resistance from FBI veterans who resisted the change, the fresh team applied new ideas. They applied new technologies. And most importantly, they applied fresh eyes to evidence that had been sitting right in front of them for years and bingo. Or maybe I should say Dan Bongino. That was so bad. You know what I mean. They made the connections that led to the suspect. So whether this was deliberate suppression or bureaucratic negligence under Biden, or both, the result was the same.

A domestic terrorist walked free for nearly five years. Now, John Solomon is reporting that there are clearly ongoing deep state dynamics within the bureau. No question. Definitely some deep state corruption remains for sure. But, and this is really cool. He’s also reporting that that resistance is diminishing as success breeds trust among the larger cohort at the FBI. So early skeptics who dismiss someone like Dan Bongino is just another talking head or whatever. They’re now recognizing that the new approach that he and Cash are bringing to the bureau is getting bad guys off the street.

And we’re seeing some pretty impressive investigative results. Now, obviously, the investigation is not over. FBI officials are stressing that in many ways. The rest of the suspect is just the beginning. Investigators still need to determine the suspect’s ideology, the motives, and whether conspirators were involved. But this case clearly demonstrates President Trump’s directive to break glass at the FBI and the results that follow when leadership prioritizes solving crimes over institutional inertia. So we’ll be keeping a very, very close eye on how things develop in the days ahead. But as of now, chalk up what looks to be yet another win for the Trump administration.

The true adults are back in charge. [tr:trw].
