Threatening letter sent to Donald Trump's son, Eric
CBS News ^ | March 18, 2016

NEW YORK -- The Secret Service, FBI and New York Police Department are investigating what sources tell CBS News is a threatening piece of mail sent to Donald Trump's son, Eric Trump.

The mail, sent to Eric Trump at his posh Manhattan residence at 100 Central Park South, also known as Trump Parc East, was opened by his wife Thursday.

A source close to the investigation said the letter had a Massachusetts postmark and warned that if Donald Trump doesn't withdraw from the race for the Republican presidential nomination -- paraphrasing -- harm will come to the kids.

Investigators in crowded lobby of 100 Central Park South in Manhattan late on March 17, 2016 after what sources say was threatening letter was received by Donald Trump's son, Eric Trump

A source familiar with the matter said the envelope contained suspicious white powder that's been sent to a lab for testing. The source a preliminary field test indicated the substance didn't appear to be hazardous.

No injuries were reported.

Find out where Hillary and Huma were the day the letter was mailed.

Heck, Hillary killed her lover, Vince Foster, to shut him up.
So bumping off some kids to grease her way into the White House wouldn’t phase her a bit.

By the way, waiting for the media to blame Trump for his incendiary rhetoric.


I am absolutely sure they will, along with the GOPe candidates.

Yep.

No cowering or screaming like a girl, for him.

The Secret Service guy instantly got into “Hold him back” position.

:D

I want don’t recall,Salamander, but I replied because I wanted to amplify about Trump being courageous in the face of people who oppose him.

If it was an offensive post, I doubt I would have replied to it.

Maybe a note to the Admin Moderator would clear up the mystery.

The silence from Cruz is deafening.

Why is Cruz under any obligation to comment on every problem the Trump people have? The last time he did, his comments were misquoted and he was lambasted by a sh*tstorm of lies that hurt Cruz.

Frankly, I'd let the tough guy handle his own stuff and stay out of it. Cruz has other fish to fry.

GOP is also saying they will now back Cruz to keep Trump out.

That's funny. I mean real funny. How many times have we all heard people spew that Conservatives had to compromise their values and vote for the lesser evil rather than their preferred (but allegedly unelectable) candidate?

Some of us have been saying that the GOPe isn't going to throw things to the Dems if the candidate is more conservative--let them hold their noses and vote for the Conservative, instead of Conservatives holding their noses and voting for 'moderate' Republicans.

And, now that it is happening, people are holding it against the candidate.

This place has become a nuthouse.

When your address is Trump Parc East, NY, NY it doesn't take much to get it there.

I wouldn’t immediately guess that he lived in a Trump building on Central Park South. For all I know, he could have lived in a mansion in CT.

It doesn’t sound like it was a big secret that he lives at Trump Parc East.

He and Lara split their time between Westchester and Manhattan, where Eric owns a three-bedroom apartment at Trump Parc East that he bought from his father in 2007 for $2 million.

I read something that insinuated Trump cowered when the guy came up behind him at the Rally.

The Video shows the opposite reaction of course, but the facts never see the light of day.

If someone did the same thing to Hillary, they would be Waterboarded to find out which of Trump’s people sent them.

A Christian would indeed have and exlre6ss feelings at threats to any family. I would never be silent if Cruz family were threatened. Character before “fish to fry”

Vote for who you want to based on your own values and expectations of your candidate. I greatly doubt that Trump ( jr. or sr. ) is looking for Cruz’s sympathy. Nor would Cruz look for theirs. Seems that these days on Freerepublic every slight and offense is somehow the fault of Ted Cruz.
