A pipe bomb loaded with explosive black powder was hand-delivered to the suburban New York City home of billionaire financier George Soros by a would-be attacker, prompting the FBI to launch an investigation into who would want to harm the philanthropist and political activist, a law enforcement source told ABC News on Tuesday.

The FBI photographed the device and then detonated it near Soros' home in Katonah, New York, and were analyzing fragments to determine why the bomb did not go off, the source said.

The device was not delivered via U.S. Postal Service, a source familiar with the investigation confirmed to ABC News. Law enforcement is now investigating if the device actually came through a private package-delivery service and whether it was hand delivered or came through some delivery system, the source said.

The man with low IQ could also have a dependency disorder. Be willing to do anything at first to have someone like them, then having the IQ of a 6th grader (or less) simply be threatened or threaten your family.

Of course, if you do have a normal or above IQ, blackmail and threatening the life of your loved ones will work, too. All part of the evil plan. No holds barred on their part.

Proving it in court is the only way to keep a moral and religious people unified.

I like this new meme today- Soros is a “philanthropist”
It's the same with the Sacklers, the family largely responsible for the flood of opioids into the market and their overuse. Wikipedia (yeah, I know . . .) bends over backward to present them as a tribe of loving philanthropists.

I have nothing tinfoil to add, but everyone - even the other side - is giving this story a big WTF.

Seriously... WTF?

If he hand delivered all the fake bombs, that makes him the Santa Claus of fake bombers.

I would imagine the Soros estate has cameras that record darn near everything.

I would imagine that the Soros estate has armed security at the entrance who would be the ones accepting deliveries, and verifying the legitimacy of the person dropping off any package, and that this security would have a video record of everybody who comes to the place.

Seriously. His past misadventures with currency manipulation and the like have left this man with legions of hard core enemies all about the planet.

One would have to believe that his personal security
is at the highest levels.

It's difficult to imagine a scenario where a would-be mail bomber could be more incompetent.

AS I recall, he doesn’t even live there. He actually lives at his daughter’s (Andrea Coloumbel, I think) house. She takes care of him as he is pretty frail.

Inserting a little reality here.

George Soros is a multi-billionaire. He will have the best available medical and nursing staff at his disposal 24/7.

A little reality here:

Who do you think George Soros can trust?

LOL. Soros a “philanthropist” but Trump a KKK male white supremacist unfit to be president? Something’s wrong here.

The scene of hand delivering a replica phony “bomb” to Soros reminds me of the great Pink Panther scene of Peter Sellers at the costume place wearing a Toulouse Latrec outfit, accepting delivery of a lit fuse bomb but lacks tip money.
“Sorry. I’m a little short.” As bomb blows up the building.

“we are now being told they were all mailed by the retarded steroid user in Florida - so clearly he wasn’t in New York hand delivering these.

You would think the MSM would at least go around and clean up the loose ends on this story, and issue a retraction.

To state the obvious: it’s hard not to be a Conspiracy Theorist on this case, it’s ridiculous.”

I thought the exact same thing.

I posted that the whole story about the bomber being a homeless former male stripper living in a van with every window covered with Trump posters was a version of the movie Wag the Dog.

The fake devises which look like crude pipe bombs that were hand delivered in New York but also supposedly mailed from Florida were part of the reason.

The unforgivable travesty of calling Soros a “survivor of Hitler’s Germany when he betrayed and helped gather Jews to be killed is infuriating. They said this to attack Trump for being against Soros.The media has no shame.

A more appropriate description would be a geo-political financier and terrorist.

I read that the case was taken away from the US Attorney in Miami and sent to the corrupt US Attorney in the Southern District of New York, which has been involved in so many cover-ups.

I don’t think that a crazy, low IQ, homeless guy down in Florida would be able to find George Soros’s address.

If it was really black powder, they wouldn’t be calling the contents “Energetic Material”, as announced in a news conference.

It would be an EXPLOSIVE!
