So they cut the part from an article yesterday where he stated he went to the protest to support Donald Trump, and leaned heavily into the part that he didn’t support either party now.

Seemed pretty clear that Trump lost, he thought congress was going to do their job to get the next president situated… and he didn’t like anyone that took part in that. So he placed bombs next to both, because they were both doing what they were supposed to do.

Some may even conclude that an act of violence intended to stop the government from declaring the results of the federal election… pretty insurrection like.

The media wavering is in full flight now.
Yesterday: He was a Trumper.
Today: It was both sides.
Tomorrow and forevermore: Trump was right; it was all B-B-Biden

Prosecutors said Cole discarded all bomb-making materials at a dump after he saw himself on the news. Components for the bombs, prosecutors wrote, included a pipe nipple, end caps, wires, a 9-volt battery and homemade black powder, among other items.

Cole said he did not tell anyone about the pipe bombs in the years since, the filing said. Agents searching his home this month found pipe nipples, iron end caps, wire and wire strippers. Agents also were said to have found a receipt for hand sanitizer and pipe nipples in Cole’s car, as well as a shopping bag containing end caps and a 9-volt battery.

Huh? He discarded all materials and seems to have been super careful about not leaving evidence, but they found materials in his home and car four years later? Was he stocking up for another bombing? Or was buying plumbing supplies and batteries not an uncommon thing for him?

Even if the contradiction comes from the prosecutors, an editor should be pointing it out so the author acknowledges they just wrote two things that don’t make sense together and tried to ask for clarification.
