"But I got to tell you, it kind of makes me looking at this crowd, doing a victory lap, when all the senior FBI officials across all key divisions have been fired for political purposes, when in some field offices, up to 45% of the FBI officers who were doing things like counter espionage and cyber have been assigned to do immigration cases. It's a little rich that they're saying they [make] America safer."
"How much earlier could we have caught this guy if resources hadn't been diverted? And I hope it would also remind folks that on January 6th I was here at the Capitol on January 6th. It was an ugly, awful day. And this administration and this president basically pardoned all the perpetrators. You know, it's that kind of picking and choosing of facts from this crowd that makes me a little bit crazy."
The Justice Department announced the arrest of 30-year-old Brian Cole Jr. for allegedly placing homemade bombs at the Republican and Democratic National Committee offices the night before the 2021 Capitol riots. Senator Mark Warner criticized DOJ officials for publicly celebrating the arrest while senior FBI leaders were purged and investigative agents were reassigned, arguing that diverted resources hindered earlier detection. Warner also cited presidential pardons for many January 6 defendants. Attorney General Pam Bondi blamed the Biden administration for delaying the cold case and said the arrest resulted from diligent police and prosecutorial work without new tips or witnesses. Assistant FBI Director Dan Bongino credited a forensic breakthrough.
