"According to Patel, catching the suspect came down to using existing evidence, like identifying the limited edition shoes he was wearing on security footage of the suspect from the day of the crime. Here's what we did we went out to the country, brought in our experts, and Deputy Director [Dan] Bongino led the charge and said, We are going to look at every single piece of evidence again,' Patel said."
"We looked at the cell phone tower data. We looked at the providers and what information they provided pursuant to search warrants at the time and asked questions such as why weren't all the phone numbers scrubbed and why wasn't there any geo-locational data done? Now that is either sheer incompetence or complete intentional negligence and neither of which is acceptable for this FBI."
Brian Cole, 30, was arrested and will be arraigned on charges of planting pipe bombs outside the Democratic National Committee and Republican National Committee on January 5, 2021. FBI leaders assert the investigation relied on existing evidence rather than newly produced material from the prior administration. Investigators identified the suspect using security footage details such as limited-edition shoes and reexamined cell-phone tower data and provider records. Deputy Director Dan Bongino led a renewed review with outside experts. Critics questioned why phone numbers were not scrubbed and why geo-locational data were not obtained earlier, calling the prior handling incompetent or negligent.
