On the night of January 5th, 2021—just hours before the U.S. Capitol would be attacked—two pipe bombs were secretly planted near the headquarters of both the Republican and Democratic National Committees. For four years, the identity of the Capitol Eve bomber remained one of the most haunting unsolved mysteries tied to January 6th.

In this episode of Inside American Politics by Skoob, host Bradley Teller takes you deep inside the FBI’s investigation that finally led to the arrest of Brian Cole Jr. We break down how the bombs were built, why they were placed, how close America came to mass casualties, and how online misinformation and political radicalization played a key role in turning belief into violence.

This is more than a true crime story—it’s a warning about how digital echo chambers, election conspiracy theories, and lone-wolf radicalization can threaten democratic institutions from within.

🎙️ If you want to understand what really happened behind the scenes on January 5th and January 6th—and why this case matters for America’s future—this is an episode you can’t miss.
