FBI Director Kash Patel appears on a podcast with Megyn Kelly to explain how the new and improved FBI caught the January 6, 2021, pipe bomb suspect, Brian Cole Jr.
Director Patel notes the cell phone data was one of a series of evidence trails followed by a new and enhanced FBI detail assigned to the case. Patel cannot explain why the previous FBI investigation did not follow this approach.
Additionally, Patel notes the FBI did not use computer assists to track and trace the purchases of the bomb making materials, but rather used boots on the ground going door to door with retailers to discover the purchases. There is a lot of background information about the case within this interview. Patel notes he has not yet seen Benjamin Crump, but cannot speak about the lawyers as the suspect is cooperating with the DOJ and FBI. WATCH:

Every time he gets interviewed I’m afraid he will show up in a cheerleader’s outfit and do a “Go FBI” routine. It’s really nauseating.
I was waiting for him to break out the pom poms.
ain’t that a thing ? …
I agree. He is so unprofessional and he comes off like he is selling something. Keep him away from the mics.
The institution’s fallen into deep sepsis. The rank and file need to make up their minds about who they are in the mix of the perniciously malignant culture our modern FBI has become. There are good people trapped in the psychopathy of a deranged bureaucratic institution. The pom-poms are all about building and earning the loyalty of the rightfully and reasonably suspicious. The modern federal employee must swim a profound sepsis of duplicitous and self-dealing leadership, whatever part of the vast bureaucracy they currently inhabit and have endured working to support themselves and their loved ones.
I can only imagine the depth of this sepsis and culture of sabotage and insider dealing that has befallen our federal institutions. Patel, Bondi and other’s might not be the casting department’s choice for the mini series, but they are professionals with the moxie to step into the breach. That alone should deserve our gratitude and patience. How easily we forget what fetid human scum preceded them.
What would you have him do? Not talk about his people he believes did a good job? Would you then complain that the FBI is doing nothing? Maybe he isn’t the most eloquent but he’s trying to rehab the reputation of the organization that he admits he has no idea why the previous team didn’t do things. I saw the interview as very factual about their process and how they get to where they did.
The bit about how they found out about cash purchases by the bomber is telling. They first identify a suspect and then agents must go visit people and businesses asking questions, showing them photos, and using very good investigative techniques in order to verify the perp. Just that could take months.
regarding alleged bomber’s appearance:
But you’re standing on the wall like you was Poindexter
— “Bust a Move”, Young MC
Great song and a very good decade. Thank you nimrodman.
As I fear we’ll find ourselves saying more and more frequently in this formerly great nation of ours, Rodd
“De nada”
When Cole Jr was arrested, did he ask…”Did I do that ??”
Poindexter’s nephew, Urkel
The suspect was seen on camera driving away in a BMW Isetta
Kash says there were real explosives but not wired correctly.
That was on purpose, Sherlock. It needed to be real enough to trigger Nanzi’s “Emergency”, but not really dangerous.
#CoupBombNotPipeBomb
”Indubitably, Mr. Holmes.”
“What does that word even mean, Watson?”
Remember when they busted Cesar Sayoc for mailing pipe bombs to various people?
The chief Fan Belt Inspector said they contained explosive materials, but failed to mention that the “Timers” he used were cheap digital clocks that had NO alarm circuit or programmable timer that could be used to trigger or ignite ANYTHING
They were designed to be complete duds.
All fabricated in the same Quantico lab.
Where would such an individual get explosives? You can’t just walk into a hardware store or a Home Depot and buy a block of Semtex…
Something smells – Tennessee Williams knew what it was.
“What’s that smell…? Didn’t you notice a powerful and obnoxious odor of mendacity…?. There ain’t nothin’ more powerful than the odor of mendacity… You can smell it…”
I note that they keep including “steel wool” in the list of items purchased
Can steel wool be lit and burn furiously because of its high surface area if abundant oxygen is present? hydrogen peroxide? anyone remember a science teacher pulling a gag with something like that?
2nd question: if so, will it still burn furiously if sealed in a pipe with end caps?
I remember a buncha news 15 or 20 years ago about hydrogen peroxide bombs as air-travel threats
wasn’t that one reason they eliminated all but 4 oz of fluids allowable going thru security?
TATP, Tri-Acetone, Tri-Peroxide, Drug Store ingredients, which together and dried form a flake like, highly unstable explosive.
But not something that can be completed in a aircraft’s rest room. . .
At 13:00 minutes Kash said “the suspect made bombs that actually worked, they just didn’t go off, thank god”. I never heard him say they were wired incorrectly. He went on to say “it’s not that he made a device and screwed it up and it was never going to go off, thankfully it didn’t go off”.
That was my interpretation. Reasonable, I think. But perhaps he just meant they were never detonated.
Because they weren’t meant to blow up people, but to explode the Peoples’ Right to Govern Themselves through Honest Elections.
Nothing reasonable about being outright wrong. He said “it’s not that he made a device and screwed it up and it was never going to go off”. Your interpretation along with many others on this site lately are ignoring facts.
Kash and Dan and Pam get so many derogatory comments lately and maybe it’s due to incorrect “interpretations” rather than factual words and actions, or maybe it’s a lot of trolls, I don’t know.
Our dear friend Rush Limbaugh used to say “words mean things” and I wish more people would pay closer attention to that.
I am not sure I want to ever read the transcript. Not sober anyway.
If only a jack ruby was lurking in the shadows, we could put this shitshow out of existence,have an inquiry and be done.
The deep state is alive and well.
“Patel cannot explain why the previous FBI investigation did not follow this approach.”
That can be explained rather easily: “Sources and Methods.”
I would LIKE to think Kash can’t (won’t) tell because it would alert the a-wholes who manufactured the entire fraud about what was coming.
I would LIKE to think that.
You don’t tell your enemy what you know… Or how you came to know it.
Because the previous Democrat run FBI was CORRUPT and worked hand in hand with the Democrats esp Piglosi and hid evidence.
Because the previous FBI SET IT UP.
yup, pretty obvious imo. In addition to Patel being either clueless or gaslighting about the corrupt FBI, there are of course powerful GOP Inc Senators/Congressmen protecting the DeepState….one of which is Speaker Johnson
Could you imagine our government being run by an army of Kash Patels? Indians like Kash and Vivek actually believe they are better than everyone else. So flattery goes a long way. Kash just needs to feel important. He wants to be admired. That’s why he believes that young women fell in love with him.
PIG-losi…..Love it!!
Isn’t the previous FBI the same as the FBI now? I am not aware of all the previous personnel being replaced with new FBI personnel.
He said Bongino put together a new team that looked at all the evidence again.
Of course, you are correct, nothing has changed at the FBI or DOJ because the same political hacks are still there. give joan a prize.
because of “the sensitivity of the matter” TM
(see James Comey to purchase Trademark use certificate)
How about discussing the STOLEN 2020 ELECTION. Lets talk about the massive fake ballots. The fake Capitol “government sponsored “riot”, lets talk and discuss that too. Lets discuss the soft coup. Lets talk about reality here folks, not some patsy playing government sponsored “insurrection”.
The fake bomb plot is a key aspect of the stolen election and coup.
I don’t even think Trump cares anymore. Time to move on. Forget about it.
Elections are safe and secure don’t cha know… Trump is proof.
Who appointed prosecutor Jocelyn Ballentine to the Cole case?
That may be of interest.
A: The Bondi/Blanche DOJ, courtesy of her mentor Pfizer Wiles.
Q: Who steered PDT to Butler?
Glenn Beck identified the female DC cop who fired rounds into a peaceful crowd, then promoted to the CIA as the person who planted the pipe bombs. They can’t sue him for defamation if he’s telling the TRUTH. Dr. Beattie proved whoever did it had to have perfect timing with the Capitol breach and coordination with the feds. Over a 1000 J6ers we quickly arrested from cell phone records, but the pipe bombers was all corrupted UNTIL NOW??? FIRE CASH, SpamBi and BOZO
I said from the get go that I believed that to be a women. I do not believe the current narrative.
I have got Zero faith in the fbi. their track record is loaded with corruption and deception.
The elephant in the room—-why would the Biden administration allow him to remain free? Was he not capable of planting more bombs?
That was a tacit admission Cole was not capable of planting ANY bombs without coaching and assistance from FBI handlers.
Benz showed how the video footage had been altered such that the frame rate was reduced from 20/sec down to 1/sec. This means 95% of visual clues were kept from the public. In other words, the FBI didn’t want the public to crack the case before they did.
This is the the sort of corrupt culture Kash and Dan walked in on and they seem too embarrassed or afraid (or both) of cleaning this crap up.
“In other words, the FBI didn’t want the public to crack the case before they
did………..were sure they had complete control of the narrative they would use to explain their version of events”Agree. Can’t decide if they’re afraid, in over their heads, or just really that gullible.
And so now the video magically got un-downscaled? the cellphone metadata got suddenly un-corrupted? the license plates, metro-card and special Nike shoes all became suddenly possible to trace?
Personnel is Policy.
Kash “Cassius” Patel.
Cassius is a masculine name of ancient Roman origin, meaning “hollow,” “empty,” or “vain,” derived from the Latin cassus.
Common nicknames for Cassius include Cash, Cas, and Cass.
The nickname Cash is popular and has a modern feel.
Yond Cassius does NOT have a lean and hungry look. He thinks too
muchlittle; such men are dangerous.His name is Kashyap, not Cassius.
I just found out that Kirk means Church in Scottish language. I found this interesting.
Lash needs to stop celebrating his victories and quickly move on to the next problem to be solved.
What victories?
Its just Distraction , a safe story for deep state Kash ,
How many FBI black boots at J6 exciting roits now that’s a question.
sorry cash your stupidity is the stench of the town…. spineless worm tongue just like the rest of pinko communist’s you like to give cover for… will tomorrow be a new day yes,,,,but the stench at the fblie will still be there….

I was listening to Robert Barnes on Viva Frei. I am really getting tired of listening to him.
He makes it sound like the case against Cole is week, but he considers the gait case to be spot on. I really thing both cases are week. Barnes should know better, but he is miking this to promote himself.
I think both suspects are distractions.
He is one of the most perceptive, fun, and spot on analysts out there right now.
I will never forget his arguments against appointing Amy C Barret.
She hasn’t been a complete loss, but it sounded to me that his nomination suggestion might have been a complete MAGA win.
I Like the fact that the FBI used boots on the ground-“Patel notes the FBI did not use computer assists to track and trace the purchases of the bomb making materials, but rather used boots on the ground going door to door with retailers to discover the purchases.”
Old fahioned sleuthing.
Computers and the info therein can be, and are corrupted due to the Dem-FBI machinations and dishonesty.
Give the man a break
if you believe that, I have ocean front property to sell you here in Phoenix Az…
Maybe you can answer the question MK asked. How did they ever track down cash purchases? There is no other way than what director Patel explained.
Ask anyone who regularly works retail check-out. Customers who pay with cash are extremely rare. They stick out, because everyone else pays by card, which is super easy for the cashier.
Handling cash is a hassle for the check-out person. They’re responsible for making sure they’ve been handed the proper amount of money, and for making sure the customer receives the correct amount of change.
If the same customer comes in a few times, paying with a stack of bills, they will likely be remembered by cashiers. A smart investigator would ask the right people the right questions and gain good info.
Does he use a reward program number to obtain discounts?
“going door to door with retailers to discover the purchases”
[flashes badge at hardware counter]
“Hey guys – anybody been buying inch-and-a-quarter galvanized with end caps?”
“How about back to 2019?”
yeah … right …
They had all the evidence years ago, but hid it.
Besides, they hired the guy in the first place.
No thanks to the non-integrity with C. ray and combee miss leadership and double standards,
its like the new f bee eye
feels like it has to defend itself and
go on a p r tour each time an alleged criminal is found.
They do not need to do a p r tour.
As tough as it is,
just catch the alleged criminal(s)
and see to it they are properly adjudicated.
(and yes, that takes a lot of work,
(not much thanks, and a lot of arm chair quarterback critics)
and due dilgence by competent people with their countries constitutional hearts leading the way )
Keep up the faith and good works….

Patel: “…the pipe bomber that terrorized our nation five years ago.”
That terrorized our nation? Hardly.
The pipe bomb was the trigger … that started the cascade that terrorized this nation. Seeing how easily Democrats and the Media took charge of the the agenda, the 2020 election cover-up, and four abysmal years of Biden/Harris/Covid™.
Perhaps you were out of the country?
Sources and Methods defense has been officially destroyed.
“Cooperating” is about the scariest thing I have heard this year… someone is going to wind up dead on this one.
This sounds like some thing like that. Doofus with the van who got arrested for kinetic material. Just some dupe that was used for a bigger reason.
It’s possible that the Biden Regime’s FIB investigated the pipe bomber just enough to determine it was a black guy, and then dropped any active investigation.
Having a black person as the prime suspect for one the of the most heinous acts of January 6 would, as they say, not fit the narrative.
Plus this guy’s mental acuity was going to make Biden’s look even worse.
“would not fit the narrative”
these are not the droids you are looking for
Of course the narrative issue was one reason to cover the investigation with a pillow.
But that doesn’t explain at all the weird behavior of the gummint goons in walking everybody including kids and Kamalalala right next to the “bombs.”
They KNEW the bombs were there, that they were not real, and ignored them on purpose.
What happened to this guy??? Yikes. Never noticed show short stature KASH is until he became FBI Director
I hope his Grandma goes on TV and raises HELL!
President Trump needs to put a stop to this.
And then Fire all of them!
And get Sidney Powell in there, she can write and indict at the same time in double time!
I feel like throwing rotten vegetables at certain people.
I’d like the Director, or anyone, explain why none of the transgressors have been incarcerated.
I wholly believe this can be done concurrent to the various agencies chasing the subject du jour.
So, a young man on the SPECTRUM evaded the FBI for years and all of a sudden “We got him!”……….Yeah sure!
I don’t believe anything about this story.
I can’t listen to Patel or Bongino any longer. Just the sound of either of their voices makes me turn off the sound. Especially Patel who is nothing but a fraud and charlatan. He spent 3 years promoting his Gansta book and is now contradicting what he advocated for in that book.
I will say it’s interesting to watch Bannon squiggle and twist to not bad mouth Patel sometimes. I’m at the point where I don’t believe anything coming out of the Trump administration’s FBI. It’s institutional dislike of the US Constitution and citizens shows how the FBI has no ability to tell the truth.
Re: investigation, bomb, dc, law and order
The bran done admin looked at it for 4 years, supposedly, = cold on law and order
The Trump administration looked at it for less than 1 year = an arrest
There is a clear positive difference in law and order.
Love thy neighbors
Cole jr has really bad vision, no way would he have made that journey without glasses and although you can’t see clearly I don’t think that person has glasses on because his glasses are pretty big and come down on to his cheeks and the mask looks like it doesn’t have anything under it but a nose.
“We know that they are lying, they know that they are lying, they even know that we know they are lying, we also know that they know we know they are lying too, they of course know that we certainly know they know we know they are lying too as well, but they are still lying. In our country, the lie has become not just moral category, but the pillar industry of this country.”― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The current DOJ/FBI management have no skills to handle these situations or are compromised.
They are going to bring down President Trump with their incompetence, corruption, or cowardice.
“Additionally, Patel notes the FBI did not use computer assists to track and trace the purchases of the bomb making materials, but rather used boots on the ground going door to door with retailers to discover the purchases.”
How did they obtain millions of data points without computer assist?
Please read this great article reposted by Sundance by 459Crimes.
The bran done admin ( dems ) looked at the dc pipe bomb(s) for 4 years.
1, 2, 3, 4 years…
result…nothing to show…
4 years, dems, nothing…
4 years…
hmmmm…
How did the kitchen timers attached to the bombs reset themselves if their limit was 60 minutes and “the suspect” set them the night before? Gateway pundit had videos from cameras across the street from the DNC that showed Secret Service folks walking around the park bench at various times missing the plain-sighted bomb… and they had article today that they knew that this suspect did it back in 2021. Where is Wray??
“… terrorized our nation…”
I wasn’t terrorized. I didn’t talk or even know anyone who was terrorized. I smelled the crap sandwich we were being fed.
He speaks Deep State. This is how Deep State thinks and speaks. POTUS DJT chose an insidious narcissist to lead the most corrupt federal organization after the Department of Defense and Health and Human Services. The FBI is a criminal organization.
The mentally challenged kid is cooperating with the other mentally challenged kid. I don’t want to listen to this because I hate being lied to.
