FBI arrests suspect in 2021 D.C. pipe bomb case, sources say

I said I was blocked when searching his voting records to find out if he voted Republican or not

In the U.S. voting is a private matter.
There better not be records of who or what he voted for.

That might be illegal.

see: United States Election Assistance Commission

Though the price, availability, and type of data in the voter file varies by state, voter files never include information about who a person voted for in any election. This is because a voter’s decision of who to vote for is private – a “secret ballot." The voter file may, however, include a voter’s partisan affiliation, which elections the voter participated in, or the voter’s method of voting. The list of which elections a voter participated in is referred to as “voter history.”

In my state, people used to have to declare a party for primary elections. Even that was done away with in my state.

?? JANUARY 6 PIPE BOMBER KEPT BUYING BOMB MATERIALS AFTER THE ATTACK

They finally got him.

Brian J. Cole Jr., 30, of Woodbridge, Virginia, was arrested Thursday morning for allegedly planting pipe bombs outside both the RNC and DNC headquarters on January 5, 2021, the night before the Capitol riot.

The FBI tracked Cole through meticulous financial forensics.

Court documents reveal he purchased bomb components from Home Depot, Lowe's, Walmart, and Micro Center throughout 2019 and 2020: galvanized pipes, end caps, 9-volt battery connectors, kitchen timers, electrical wire, steel wool, and tools.

Cell tower data placed Cole's phone near the RNC and DNC between 7:39 p.m. and 8:24 p.m. on January 5, 2021.

A license plate reader caught his Nissan Sentra less than half a mile from where the devices were planted at 7:10 p.m.

Five minutes after the bomber was first observed on foot, Cole's phone pinged towers in the area.

Most disturbing: Cole continued buying bomb-making materials AFTER January 6.

U.S. Attorney Pam Bondi:

"Today's arrest happened because the Trump administration has made this case a priority.

The total lack of movement in this case in our nation's capital undermined the public trust."

Nearly five years.

One of the biggest unsolved cases from January 6.

Solved in months under new leadership.

Probably some evil communist leftist since Bidens FBI didn't even look for the guy.

He was an anarchist, didn't fit the MAGA theory of 1/6, no doubt a competent FBI would insist on charging the perp, they were stopped, or they decided themselves, and they put the file at the bottom

selective political prosecution either way

It would have ruined the trope of all the evil MAGA trying to subvert the government with beer bellies.

Here is CNN's Jake Tapper calling Brian Cole " a 30 yr. old white man".

Sounds like 5-year-old.

Sounds like 5-year-old.

Sounds like no one is above the law.

Your mileage may vary.

They didn't collect any new evidence. They already had all the pieces just sitting there, unlooked at:

The FBI’s case against Cole is not based on a new breakthrough, according to two sources, but instead on a review the FBI conducted in recent weeks of evidence that had already been gathered and which the department had in its possession. The sources requested anonymity to speak freely about a sensitive case. That voluminous trove of material was largely collected in 2021 and 2022.

The suspect’s arrest is expected to cause significant embarrassment for the bureau and the enormous team it assigned to the pipe bomb investigation, the two sources said, because the suspect could have been arrested years ago if investigators had earlier connected the dots they already had in hand.
