Brian Cole's Own Lawyers Defend The Reporters Who Blamed Kerkhoff
The FBI found zero evidence tying ex-officer Shauni Kerkhoff to the bombs Cole confessed planting on January 5.
- Cole confessed planting the DNC bomb at 7:54 p.m., RNC at 8:26 p.m.
- The Blaze's Nov. 8 story claimed a 94-98% "gait match" from an anonymous analyst.
- Three of Cole's lawyers, bankrolled by The Blaze, now defend its reporters in Kerkhoff's defamation suit.
Why it matters: The same outlet that named an innocent officer as the bomber now pays the confessed bomber's lawyers.
