CNN: Experts Tell Us 'The Bombs Were Never Meant to Explode'
my Twitter account ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 10/26/2018 4:03:58 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

A CNN reporter says: "outside experts tell CNN that the lack of a triggering mechanism suggests the bombs were never meant to explode."

CNN then runs a clip of a former FBI agent saying that the goal was to spread fear and garner attention.

Democrat targets of the flaccid bomb attacks are looking cool as cucumbers, and carefree as a Republican headed for certain victory.
Maybe the bogus Bomb scare is just power-starved Democrats and their minions trying to disrupt Republican momentum going into midterms.

One target, wiggy Maxine Waters, even marched in a parade and said, "I have no fear."

Reminds me of the Sherlock Holmes tale, "The Dog That Did Not Bark."

Maxine and the rest must have a good reason why they're not fearful......why they're not ringing the alarm bells.

They know something we dont know.

This was planned so it would be on the front page and lead newscasts for a week before the election. All during that time the media would explicitly blame Trump, as they are doing.

1-2 days from now, there will be another manufactured crisis which will rip the bombs off the front page and thus leave people with the idea that Trump is responsible.

After the election we will find out who sent the bombs, but it will be too late.

You KNOW the bombs were made by Democrats. They don’t work, and Democrats are claiming they were NEVER MEANT TO WORK....sorta like Obama’s Shovel-ready jobs.

Yes it’s real. He said that on WBEZ, 91.5FM in Chicago. That’s the National Public Radio station. Heard him say it with my own two ears. The clip of him saying it used to be on YouTube, think it’s been scrubbed. I should go look for it.

Somebody should give Andrew Cuomo a call and let him know... He claimed the devices were ‘explosive’.

While no EOD expert, this isn’t rocket surgery... THIS WHOLE THING IS DESIGNED TO GET THE CARAVAN OFF THE FRONT PAGE. NOTHING MORE....

However...

The tape: either has a fingerprint on it or some other type of DNA evidence that can be compared to another sample. That is, if there’s a sample in a database or they get a suspect and compare to that person.

The explosive: if it’s something exotic, then you do a trace from where the stuff was distributed to who is was sold to. If it’s common gunpowder, good luck. If it’s homemade, in someone’s garage/basement, good luck, unless there’s some exotic ingredient.

Recipe for explosive: Lots and lots and lots of copies of the Anarchist’s Cookbook out there and obviously, the internet. But I guess the Dem’s can go to their buddies at Google, Bing, etc and have them search for anyone that has looked up the recipe for PETN or some other explosive that you can make in your kitchen.

The pipe: Can be purchased anywhere unless it has some distinguishable number or mark that can show where it was sold. Or it also has a fingerprint or some type of DNA.

Timer/Detonator: See above concerning an identifying number or mark that can be used to do a trace.

Now...after all of that, does anyone on Free Republic feel, in their bones, that a legitimate investigation can/will be done? Will they find another patsy to lock up like they did after Benghazi?

Does/should anyone trust the FBI crime lab, given their history of corruption ... https://www.whistleblowersblog.org/2017/11/articles/intelligence-community-whistleblowers/dr-whitehurst-and-the-fbi-lab-scandal/

On a side note, why is the FBI involved in this? Or should I ask, why isn’t the lead agency the ATFE...Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and EXPLOSIVES!!!

If NYPD is mad, it’s because they’ve been given orders to dedicate any and every resource to finding the person(s) responsible, they know it’s a complete joke and they have better and more important things to do.

Domestic terrorism - that is congruent with the Demonicrat method of operation.

My guess is that the perp is a USPS employee who was able to deposit the packages in the appropriate shipping bins to avoid the normal scanning process that happens when packages arrive to send to whatever cities they were destined. That could help explain why all the packages arrived on the same day........

As an example, I have a friend who works the midnight shift at the post office in Troy, MI. On a Sunday night, he sent me a check and placed it in the bin destined for my city. The truck went out from the facility early Monday morning, arrived at my city's post office and was sorted with the morning mail and arrived at my house that afternoon........

I believe the question that should be asked is “Why DeNiro?” Of all the entertainment crowd that has said derogatory words of President Trump, why DeNiro?

Wag the Dog?

If they weren’t meant to explode, they weren’t bombs. So, what laws did the perp break by sending pcv pipe to the recipients?

they truly want to stoke some antifa weirdo to attack with real ones, and to promote chaos to deflect from their coup

Those things make me suspect this was a prank... that the prankster now deeply regrets.

If that would be the case, and he has any sense, he’s already lawyered up.

Phony bombs were sent to Democrats who have publicly denounced President Trump, or who caused the Trump name harm.

However, there was one person who did that in spades who did NOT get a phony bomb sent to him.

Michael Avenatti.

In my opinion, that fact tends to support the theory that an anti-Trump nutcase sent the bombs, but only to those who are still threats to Trump, to make it look like a pro-Trump person sent them.

But a pro-Trump nutcase would have included a person who caused a large amount of pain to the Trump household. In my opinion.

"Fake news, fake accusations, fake bombs, fake everything."
Bears repeating. The dems have nothing else to stand on except "Free Stuff!".

As an aside: Opa-Locka, Florida, source for the fake bombs is deep in Miami-Dade County, a heavily dem area in south Florida. Funny thing - heavy minorities, high crime rates and official corruption for years and years with a significant architectural Moorish (islamic) base.

Hmmmm ...

Was there any explosive material in the fake bombs?

If not then a world class trigger and timer wouldn't matter.
