Must be a big package. Hope it's a false alert.

—Must be a big package. Hope it’s a false alert.—

As your comment demonstrates, it’s Twitter, and it’s hard to tell what’s going on.

I misread that and thought it said “Stimulus Package”.

OH.... I have a feeling that this was ‘planned’, and they will keep the area (DOJ and FBI) shut down until after the July 4 Holiday.

Time will tell...

Didn’t they pull this act yesterday or the day before at the protest near the White Hut?

I hope it is a false alarm too. My son has a summer job at the Archives. A block away.

This looks like a anti-protest strategy to me.

Any protest the Obama administration doesn't like, such as the Fire Eric Holder protest. They simply announce a suspicious package and close the streets. They may even have an operative place a suspicious package

Thus it's hard to level anti-free-speech charges at them, because they aren't preventing the protest so much as they are protecting people from the suspicious package.

Seems they might be a tad paranoid and jumpy after the atrocious behavior of the Democrats lately.

Well, that’s a suspicious package if ever there was one.

Prior to, and during, any protest in that area, keep the video cameras rolling (ya know, to help the feds with their investigation should a package magically appear ...)

apparently with a Dora the Explorer fanny pack and a Twitter account, one can bring the entire Federal Government to a standstill...

There will be “suspicious” packages found anywhere within a hundred miles of any Fire Eric Holder protest, courtesy of the Secret Service.

It is probably a box of WH vegetables, compliments of Mooch.

I bet she has sent them all over the place. Hope she remembered to have ‘her staff’ remove the stickers.

What you mean "may"?

the package will probably be left where it is as a way to keep protesters away from the scumbag politicians
