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
I’ve always accepted stupid libs as the enemy. I had no idea people who call themselves “anti big government” would get behind a fraud also be my enemy.
Why?
Common to mankind are the three temptations, and the values implied therein can infect people. The temptations should be resisted as Jesus did.
But yeah, it is not a single person. How could it be a single person and be there 2,000 years ago as well?
Any thoughts?
Mark Twain
Good advice.
They’d be targeting us if we were frontrunning.
Do you really believe that ? Cruz and Trump have been head to head almost and it isn't over yet. I haven't read of any protesters at Cruz rallies. Oh wait... they did have ONE GUY that stood up and read his lines, then was escorted out. I guess it is possible.
I don't see the same kind of hatred being leveled at Cruz as at Trump, and I'm not sure I would agree it's all because Trump is currently ahead.
The temptations should be resisted as Jesus did. Very few do so, when offered their desires.
Don’t you wonder why people like Mark Twain, living back then, were so smart, and today people seem like mindless automatons awaiting fresh commands ?
Only because Cruz is trailing. Imagine if he had Don’s numbers. Satan would call up ALL his minions to knock him out. That’s why I’m for unity: easier to knock down the Left’s attacks if we all are a team. But I’m not holding my breath.
Vocabulary. Twain had it, and used it like a dart.
Again, we disagree. But it is possible. I've been wrong before. Who knows, I may have a chance to find out. It isn't over yet.
That’s why I’m for unity: easier to knock down the Left’s attacks if we all are a team.
On that we agree. The end game(for them) is that we lose. If we don't stick together, regardless to which candidate becomes our nominee, we will lose.
I would suggest that it is more than just vocabulary.
Yes. “Only a small mind, can think of only one way to spell a word...”
Well, it helps to admit it.
It amazes me too.
picking on a 78yo woman is disgusting and besides that, it’s elder abuse

Apart from newspapers there was no mass media, and government school was just getting off the ground.
