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.

There was a quite a bit of early reporting that said that this Soros faux-bomb and also the CNN faux-bomb were delivered by courier or someone other than the normal US Mail carrier.

This is an ABC News story, and has not been retracted, and had four reporters on the byline. Did they all get it wrong?

Because 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 like this new meme today- Soros is a “philanthropist”

I’ve seen it in at least 8 places so far today

Was the courier the FBI?

I don’t think some crazy, low IQ, homeless guy down in Florida has the means or brain power to hire a courier.

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

He is now "Saint Soros" and untouchable.

The media and Dems are always great at circling the wagons

We create circular firing squads

You would think, but it would up to Soros to release those tapes, which I doubt they would.

Exactly! We’re told that a guy living in his van had access to Soros’ home address and abilities to get past his security to make this delivery.
Uhhh Huhhhh!

I made the point days ago. The courier angle blows the steroid-infused Florida mental patient story out of the water.

Determining who does not want to harm him would be quicker.

George Soros at least should be in jail or best in a pine box. Communist POS.

He paid good money for that label. And it’s not new; I’ve saw it on Wikipedia years ago. Sounds nicer than “Nazi collaborator”, although less accurate.

That’s why there was a shooting in PA, too many questions about the fake bombs.
Expect more BS should people continue to ask questions.

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.

An acquaintance who works for the Postal Service told me they adopted a rule after the Unabomber was caught that any package as whacko as what we’ve seen is to be isolated and returned to sender.

Per regulations all of these packages should have been sent back to Debbie Wasserman-Schultz’ office, as that was the return address listed.

Yet most were delivered to addressees. Flunks the smell test.

“the philanthropist and political activist,”

And the Rosenberg’s were patriots and good citizens.

The CNN hoax pipe bomb was also delivered by courier, not by USPS.....another inconvenient fact for leftists.....this story still reeks....
