Before being appointed to the FBI, Deputy Director Dan Bongino pushed baseless and reckless conspiracy theories that the January 6th pipe bomber, who the day before the insurrection planted pipe bombs at the RNC and DNC, was an “inside job.”
Cut to today, and Bongino’s FBI has officially charged a suspect with placing the bombs. When asked recently by Fox News Host Sean Hannity whether he still believed the planting of the bombs was an inside job, Bongino said the quiet part out loud:
“I was paid in the past, Sean, for my opinions, that’s clear, and one day I will be back in that space—but that’s not what I’m paid for now,” Bongino said.
For years, Donald Trump’s acolytes in MAGA have decried the J6 pipe bomber as an Antifa or “Democrat” plant. But new reporting from NBC News shows that Brian Cole Jr., the charged suspect in the pipe bomber case, has confessed to the FBI that he believed Donald Trump’s false conspiracy theories that the 2020 election was rigged. In addition, Cole said he agreed with President Trump, and his claims about the election.
Now that the pipe bomber has been charged, and it’s clear he is a Trump supporter, MAGA has fallen silent.

Aquilino Gonell, who heroically served alongside Harry to defend the Capitol building and its occupants on J6 as Capitol police officers. The pair also discusses the missing J6 Plaque, and how the U.S. immigration system is in dire need of reform.
