Jan 6 Pipe Bombing Suspect Disinvited From FBI Christmas Party This Year

Local man Brian Cole Jr. reportedly had his invitation to the annual FBI Christmas Party rescinded after being arrested under suspicion that he was the January 6 Pipe Bomber.

Federal agents raided Cole's home on Thursday after successfully linking him to the mysterious hooded suspect who had planted explosive devices at both the Democratic and Republican National Committee Headquarters on the eve of January 6, which sources confirmed was a big "no-no" for federal employees.

"Cole was one of our best, but he violated his oath when he got caught," Special Agent Dylan Ravenslaw said during a press conference where he announced the arrest. "We simply cannot have such sloppy employees at our Christmas party."
