The Trump administration blamed Biden for failing to catch the Jan 6 pipe bomb suspect – with Dan Bongino even alluding to a ‘massive cover up.’
The FBI deputy director told Fox News Thursday that the Biden administration somehow let the suspect walk free while launching partisan witch hunts.
‘I don’t know what the hell they were doing!’ Bongino told Sean Hannity about the past administration.
‘Outside of targeting political opponents, weaponizing the FBI. Destroying its reputation, embarrassing agents, I don’t know what they were doing.’
Brian Cole, 30, was identified on Thursday as the man who allegedly left homemade bombs across DC on the eve of the January 6 riots in 2021.
Both Bongino and FBI head Kash Patel have suggested that President Biden’s FBI was too busy raiding President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home or looking into ‘Russiagate.’
‘There is a massive cover-up, because the person who planted those pipe bombs—they don’t want you to know who it was, because it’s either a connected anti-Trump insider, or this was an inside job,’ Bongino said in 2024.
‘Those bombs were planted there. This was a setup. I have zero doubt.’
Hannity confronted Bongino on his 2024 statement that the pipe bomb case was a ‘massive cover-up.’
