The FBI opened an investigation into Brian Cole Jr., an autistic individual, on the same day they conducted follow-up interviews with the primary pipe bomb suspect. Cole's defense team has filed motions to present an "alternate theory of the crime," leading to a legal battle over gag orders and sensitive discovery material. The defense argues that the government's case against Cole is weak and ignores more likely suspects.

Court filings suggest the government may be attempting to classify a primary J6 suspect as an "undercover agent" to protect their identity. Following these filings, anonymous threats were sent via a Russian email service, which critics believe were staged to justify further secrecy and blame independent journalists. Meanwhile, Dan Bongino has reportedly threatened to bankroll defamation lawsuits against those reporting on these developments.

Journalist Joe Hanneman highlighted the suspicious timing of threats against a J6 suspect, which appeared on the Pacer docket almost immediately after sensitive filings. Brian Cole Jr. has hired The Litson Firm, led by former federal prosecutor and CIA analyst Alex Little, to handle his defense. Little is described as a "killer" attorney who understands how the DOJ and CIA operate, signaling a major legal challenge for the government.

Jason Bermas joins the show to discuss the logistical difficulty of combing through the massive Epstein document dump. He notes that while names like David Copperfield and Michael Jackson appear, the context varies, with Jackson's appearance being relatively "nothing burger" in terms of sexual allegations. Bermas encourages the public to use sites like CourtListener and Pacer to conduct their own research.
