Thomas Massie Cites Blaze Reporters Who Smeared Capitol Police Officer as Pipe Bomber While Promoting Conspiracy Theory
"FBI claims an autistic man they arrested last month, 5 years after J6, is a lone wolf who planned, built, and placed the pipe bombs. They want to wrap up the case and put a bow on it, but I'm not buying it. It doesn't add up, Massie wrote on X when sharing the report from The Blaze. The report is credited to Joseph M. Hanneman and Steve Baker."
"The pair recently falsely reported the identity of a suspect accused of planting pipe bombs outside the offices of the RNC and DNC in 2021, suggesting that former Capitol Police officer Shauni Kerkhoff was likely guilty of the crime. The Department of Justice later accused Brian Cole Virginia, a man who reportedly believed the 2020 presidential election was rigged, of committing the crimes associated with the act."
"Despite the U.S. Justice Department's claim in a new court filing that there is overwhelming evidence' of a Virginia man's guilt in the D.C. pipe-bomb case, his location and movements on Jan. 5, 2021, do not appear to be as clear-cut as the FBI's cellphone evidence implies, the latest report from Baker reads. The latest report focuses on Cole's alleged movements on January 6 and pings from his cell phone."
Representative Thomas Massie shared a report casting doubt on the FBI's identification of an autistic man arrested months after January 6 as the lone pipe-bomb suspect. The report notes prior false reporting that misidentified a different person, Shauni Kerkhoff, and states the Department of Justice later accused Brian Cole of the crimes. The report challenges the clarity of Cole's location and movements on Jan. 5, 2021, and questions whether the FBI's cellphone-sector orientation evidence conclusively establishes his actions. The report details alleged cellphone pings and movements surrounding January 6.
