Explosive court filings in the Brian Cole Jr. pipe bomb case have revealed that a former U.S. Capitol Police officer failed an FBI polygraph test when directly asked if she placed the mysterious pipe bombs discovered near the DNC and RNC headquarters on January 5, 2021.

According to defense attorneys for accused bomber Brian Cole Jr., former Capitol Police officer Shauni Kerkhoff was investigated by the FBI as a potential suspect in the still-unsolved pipe bomb case. The bombshell revelation emerged in Wednesday court filings that have sent shockwaves through conservative social media.

Social media users quickly seized on the implications of this stunning development. "BOMBSHELL: Current CIA employee and ex-Capitol Police officer Shauni Kerkhoff FAILED an FBI polygraph when directly asked: 'Did you place the pipe bombs near DNC/RNC HQ on January 5, 2021?'" posted @OcrazioCornPop on Twitter, noting that Kerkhoff has now been subpoenaed in the Cole case.

"Defense court filing alleges that former capitol police officer Shauni Kerkhoff failed a polygraph test conducted by the FBI. Shauni was asked if she 'placed those pipe bombs,'" posted @TheKJofTikTok, highlighting the explosive nature of these revelations.

But here's where it gets even more suspicious: despite these serious allegations and a failed polygraph test, the mainstream media is already working overtime to bury this story. As journalist Sarah Bedford pointed out, "The reason NYT says the possibility that a former Capitol Police officer may have placed the Jan. 6 pipe bombs has been 'debunked' is that the FBI denied it and so did Shauni Kerkhoff's lawyer. Case closed I guess!"

This revelation raises serious questions about the FBI's handling of the January 6 investigation and whether they've been covering up inconvenient truths that don't fit their preferred narrative. Why would a Capitol Police officer fail a polygraph about the pipe bombs? And why are we only learning about this now, over four years later?

Patriots deserve answers about what really happened on January 6, including who placed those pipe bombs and why this investigation has been shrouded in secrecy. Will the Trump administration's DOJ finally get to the bottom of this cover-up?

This is exactly why I don't trust anything coming out of DC anymore. Too many people with too much to hide.

My grandfather always said never trust a man who can't pass a polygraph. Wise words.

Why did it take this long for these court documents to come to light? What else are they hiding from the American people?

Keep digging into this story! The January 6th committee clearly didn't want the full truth to come out.

I wonder how many other officers have failed polygraphs that we don't know about. This could be just the tip of the iceberg.

As someone who served this country for 20 years, it breaks my heart to see how corrupt our institutions have become. We deserve answers about what really happened that day.

FINALLY some real journalism! I've been saying from day one that the whole Jan 6 narrative didn't add up.

Same here! The mainstream media won't touch stories like this with a 10-foot pole.
