Just to quickly set the stage with a reminder about CNN's credibility, yesterday Jake Tapper reported that the person arrested and accused of planting pipe bombs at RNC and DNC headquarters on January 5th 2021 is a "30-year-old white man." Here he is:

Missed it by that much, Jake! They must have had the script written well before the guy was even caught but forgot to erase that part of it before Tapper read the story.
Long before the pipe bomb suspect was caught I made the safest prediction ever: No matter who the person is, the media will find a way to turn him into a Trump supporter.
Naturally CNN has been one of the first outlets to make that prediction come to fruition:

By the way, the above post is from Natasha Bertrand, who gladly passed along as "news" information she was being fed by the Hillary Clinton campaign's oppo research firm, Fusion GPS. In other words, CNN helped push the "Russia collusion" BS and this latest story has the same kind of stench to it.

With that said, here's what the CNN report has to say:
During interviews with the FBI, the suspect arrested in the pipe bomb probe told investigators that he believed the 2020 election was stolen, providing perhaps the first indication of a possible motive for the bombs placed near the DNC and RNC headquarters, people briefed on the matter said.
The FBI arrested Brian Cole, 30, on Thursday on charges that he planted pipe bombs near the Republican and Democratic National Committee headquarters the night before the 2021 US Capitol riot.
Cole spent hours with FBI investigators and made multiple statements, the sources said. Dan Bongino, deputy FBI director, told Fox News on Thursday that the FBI had interviewed the suspect at length, but didn’t elaborate.
Ah yes, when have "people briefed on the matter" ever misled us?
Are we supposed to believe that the DOJ under Garland and FBI under Wray during the Biden years -- people who could track down a Trump-supporting grandma who broke wind within a quarter mile of the Capitol on January 6th -- couldn't find a man who was on video planting two bombs the night before? Not only that, but Trump took office and then just months later an arrest was made?
Really?? The suspected pipe bomber whose father owned a bail bonds company that tried to get illegal immigrants out of ICE facilities and sued Trump’s DHS was a MAGA right-winger? This reeks of the Biden FBI’s Thomas Crooks lies. https://t.co/e9UXQaUOjn

Based on many past stories all I know is that there's way more to this, and of course the media and Dems will focus on just this one aspect, even if it falls apart:
They’re going to run stories about how this bomber was a right winger and by the time they get debunked, the lie will be cemented into your Liberal Aunt Peggie’s head for life.

This is what they do. Create a world of make believe for Democrats to live in. https://t.co/bKBaRHcoJF
"Russia collusion" is just one example. It's a complete lie and yet we still hear it repeated to this day. But now that the Dems and media have their narrative, I'll wait a while to find out what the truth really is while they completely ignore any new developments.
