'Odd situation': Lawyer says would-be bomber may be freed by DOJ's 'controversial' error

Brian Cole Jr., who is accused of planting multiple pipe bombs around Washington, D.C., leading up to the January 6, 2021, insurrection, could potentially be freed from incarceration due to the DOJ's error, according to a legal expert.

Lawfare's Roger Parloff, who once reported that Judge Cannon had created a "secret docket" in the process of overseeing a Trump criminal documents case, flagged a motion by Cole in which his attorneys argue that the DOJ failed to properly indict Cole. Recent reports also discuss Cole's confession.
