Threatening Letter Sent to Donald Trump's Sister
nbc news ^ | 3-19-16 | Katy Tur

Donald Trump's older sister, federal appeals court judge Maryanne Trump Barry, received a threatening letter in Philadelphia on Friday — one day after the GOP front-runner's son received a suspicious piece of mail containing white powder, sources told NBC News.

There was no white powder sent to Trump Barry, although the threat included in her letter was similar to that given to Eric Trump, a source familiar with the investigation said. Eric Trump's letter, received Thursday, demanded that his real estate mogul father drop out of the Republican race for the presidential nomination.

It's unclear if both letters have the same sender. The FBI and Secret Service are investigating the incident.

Trump Barry, a 78-year-old judge with the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit, was the subject of some scrutiny earlier this year when Trump mentioned her in jest when asked about whom he would appoint to the Supreme Court.

Rival Ted Cruz, meanwhile, called Trump Barry a "radical pro-abortion extremist" for her ruling against banning abortions in New Jersey.

The mail sent to Eric Trump was postmarked in Massachusetts, police sources said, but preliminary tests deemed the substance non-hazardous.

Calls for suspicious and threatening packages are common for high profile personalities. Katy Tur

Threatening Letter Sent to Donald Trump's Sister

Funny how all these "Gun Control" SOBs never see the irony when they threaten.

Personally, don’t believe he is afraid of anything. Bring it on - he’ll remain standing until his last breath is drawn. He requires as much protection as possible. Did you notice his arrival at the Arizona Rally, DH saw the procession to the location (through the hundreds of protesters’ roadblocks and attempted to relate to me how it was done. His unpredictable attitude is used to his advantage.

To say Cruz has some powerful supporters is the understatement of the year. For just one example, the Gay hotelier Cruz donor whose apartment Ted fundraises from gays in---a dead boy was found in the apartment's bathroom; the boy died in the bathroom while having sex, supposedly died from drugs. And as far as I know, no charges or even investigation was ever made against the hotelier or his "partner" and whoever else was at the Gay orgy. The hotelier had picked the boy up at a local Gay bar, and I noticed while I researched in Google that this Gay bar, which had there for a while, long enough to have numerous listings and ratings on New York bar, restaurant, and gay web sites---it QUICKLY closed after the boy's death.

That's just the Gay Mafia. I'm sure the Globalists play hardball even more seriously. There's a LOT of money at stake, influence already bought and paid for in Cruz's superpacs. Cheap labor, export of jobs and manufacturing, import of foreign labor (a key feature of Ted's TPP trade scam), amnesty, future "trade deals" to transfer wealth from the USA to other countries.

JUST the KOREA trade deal alone, only four or five years old, has already transferred billions of U.S. dollars to...someone. (Trade deficit with Korea in that time is doubled, from 12 to 24 billion dollars, IIRC.)

These people mean business.

Hey, I like DT, I just don’t prefer him and I want no harm to come to him or his. I don’t know why I bother being decent about Trump, I get mocked and slapped down whenever I do.

At least we know Cruz isn’t the AC: the AC is supposed to be ridiculously popular and charismatic.

LOL!

Yepper, and it is against the things that Jesus stood for.

But hey, you can refuse.

We need folks to stand up and state tit for tat! You harm one of ours, and you could have one of icons harmed! Intimidation is a two way street and Obama admin/leftists are tolerating this behavior, because intimidation is the communist playbook!

I looked at the comment that HL27 made, and I don't see it as a slap or putdown. It was just an honest question, and based on the previous comments between you two, HL27 probably thought you were supporting Trump. That is the way your comments appeared.

Ergo, she wasn't mocking or slapping you down.

: )

One can. Can and will are two different things.

Anyway, I think we can find a further clue if we figure out what the Bible is referring to by The ONE who gives the Anti-Christ(ian) his power.

The US Marshals Service provides security for Federal Judges, so whoever is doing this wasn’t happy with just bringing down the Secret Service on themselves. They’ve now decided to involve the USMS as well.

Cruz supporters need to be helping out at Trump events that the Left targets. They’d be targeting us if we were frontrunning. We have better situational awareness :)

Every time someone has sent a letter with a white powder inside they’ve been caught fairly quickly. Let’s see if those sending letters to the Trumps are ever caught.
