The big news in Washington, D.C. Thursday was the arrest of a suspect in the infamous Washington, D.C. pipe bomb case, which has gone unsolved for over four years. U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Judge Jeanine Pirro appeared on Laura Ingraham’s Fox News show to talk about what we know about the suspect and detail the utter failure of the Biden administration's limp efforts to try to find out who did it.

Ingraham noted that the public had almost given up on ever knowing the answer. Pirro understood their frustration:
Well, Americans had a right to feel that this case would never be solved, because it was clear that the Biden administration did not make this a priority. Within a couple of months of the finding of these pipe bombs, they pulled agents off this case.
When President Trump came in, he made a decision that he was going to reinvigorate the investigation. [FBI Director] Kash Patel, [Deputy Director] Dan Bongino, [they] made a decision that we were going to look at this, reanalyze evidence, and what I said there was clear. Three million pieces of data, and we had to find the commonality.
I don't even know what to say about this, except: sigh.

Pirro went on to describe the incredible effort the bureau went through to nail it all down. They knew they were close, she revealed, when they were able to show his cellphone was in the area on that fateful night on January 5, 2021, when he placed the bombs outside the DNC and the RNC.
The U.S. Attorney then went on to detail what is known about the suspect so far, and it is chilling. It’s not chilling because he was some wild-eyed, freaky dude who was obviously a problem… What is disturbing is just how normal he apparently was. He could be anybody’s neighbor, and they wouldn’t have a clue.
This is a guy who kind of has a very low profile… He lives with his mother, his family… He does very little.
We surveilled him… what I can tell you is that he was always wearing his headphones. He would take his dog out, he'd go to the 7-Eleven. He was very, if you [would] say, low key, low profile. There wasn't a lot going on.
His closest friends are his family. He lives with his mom and his sisters. He would go to work for a few hours a day. His father had a bail bondsman company. And he was just a very low-key person that you would never expect.
“He's that quiet individual that you would never imagine could put a pipe bomb."

Cole Jr. did not engage frequently in social media, and he had no priors. He was just Mr. Invisible:
He’s that quiet individual that you would never imagine could put a pipe bomb, put it together… The FBI went in this morning, they found a lot of other products and pieces for pipe bombs… Other pipes, other wires, other, you know, timers.
He was into this, very much into this.
It’s a strange case, and we can all be thankful that this “quiet” weirdo didn’t do more damage or injure anyone. Pirro is confident justice will be done:
This [case] is solid, Laura — solid as they get.
