The family of Brian Cole Jr., the man the FBI arrested as the suspected Jan. 6 pipe bomber, says he was framed, raising bad news for the credibility of the FBI and DOJ.

• The FBI arrested Cole and charged him with planting multiple explosive devices.
• His family says he is autistic and nothing about the surveillance footage matches how he moves.
• The arrest came right after journalist Steve Baker publicly named a federal employee as the real pipe bomber.
• Agents handcuffed family members during the raid and never apologized.
• The family calls the case a made-for-TV conspiracy built on a random, vulnerable man.

Outlook: Expect the case to become a political fight over whether the federal government is covering for one of its own, with the footage comparison at the center.
