FBI: Packages sent to Dems, CNN taken to Quantico for analysis
The Hill ^ | 10/24/18 | MORGAN CHALFANT

The FBI said Wednesday that it has sent five packages believed to contain explosive devices to the bureau’s laboratory in Quantico, Va., for further analysis.

In a rare public statement, the FBI described the five suspicious packages sent to CNN, former President Obama, Hillary Clinton and other Democrats as “similar in appearance” and containing “potentially destructive devices.”

President Trump announced earlier Wednesday that he had ordered a “major federal investigation” into the attempted attacks, condemning “political violence” and describing the bomb threats as “abhorrent.”

“The full weight of our government is being deployed to conduct this investigation and bring those responsible for these despicable acts to justice,” Trump said in remarks from the East Room before an event on combatting opioids.

The Secret Service confirmed Wednesday morning that it had intercepted a suspicious package sent to the Clinton residence in Chappaqua, N.Y., the previous day and another sent to the Obamas's home in Washington, D.C., early Wednesday.

Similar packages were sent to billionaire philanthropist George Soros on Monday and to CNN on Wednesday, with the latter addressed to former CIA director John Brennan, who has made regular appearances on the network but is a contributor on MSNBC.

Another package was mailed to former Attorney General Eric Holder but it never reached his address and was instead reportedly sent to its return address, which was a Florida office of Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.).

The packages are said to have contained homemade explosive devices, with authorities in New York describing the device mailed to CNN as a pipe bomb.

All five packages have been sent to Quantico for further analysis, as authorities search for suspects.

FBI Director Christopher Wray said Wednesday afternoon that the investigation is of “highest priority” for the bureau.

“We have committed the full strength of the FBI’s resources and, together with our partners on our Joint Terrorism Task Forces, we will continue to work to identify and arrest whoever is responsible for sending these packages,” Wray said in a statement.

He encouraged those with any information to contact the FBI.

The FBI also released photos of the packages, which were all mailed in manila envelopes and had a return address of “Debbie Wasserman Shultz [sic],” referring to the former Democratic National Committee chairwoman.

The bureau noted that it is “possible” more packages were mailed at other locations. Officials remain on high alert in the meantime, particularly in New York City, where the governor has ordered additional law enforcement personnel to airports, subways, and other transit systems.

Hope there are some honest FBIers who can figure out which Demoncrats did these bombs.

The fake bomb also has a fake clock. Not to power anything (it couldn’t) but to make it look good. For what purpose? If sent by mail you’d need to set a timer ... To what time.

Somebody has said, these people are stupid!

" . . . containing “potentially destructive devices.”

I wonder if that means "potentially containing destructive devices" or "containing potentially destructive devices." A bomb expert cited on other threads thinks these are likely to be found non-explosive.

“Packages” may or may not be “bombs”.

Arrest them and arrest them quick. Prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. Expose their political leanings for the past decade so there will be zero doubt where this is coming from.

"Might be better to send all evidence to Russia labs. There is zero reason to trust anything about the present FBI."

This! Yes, indeed; when we get a "report" from the FIB, we will have no confidence that it isn't what the FBI wants to report rather than the facts.

Predictions:

1. The FBI, in a dazzling display of careful and methodical investigation, will be unable to complete the investigation until after the election

2. The FBI will be unable to develop any evidence to identify the bomber(s).

3. Despite No.2 above, the FBI will magically be able to describe the motivations of the unidentifiable criminal in complete detail.

Because of this careful and upright approach by the FBI, the Democrats will be able fully exploit this event for campaign purposes right up to the election without fear of contradiction by the FBI. When this false flag scheme falls apart afterwards, there won’t be so much as a “ooops” from the Democrats.

Or the media.

I know when I mail out bombs I ALWAYS make sure to put my return address. This stuff isn’t cheap and it’s nice to get it back if it doesn’t get delivered.

Although it may have been Debbie making those bombs - it would explain her hair.

” it would explain her hair.”

I’d attributed it to a faulty light socket, but bomb works, too. Leftist women are so attractive.

I hope the FBI acts more quickly on this matter than they did on Benghazi. After all, PEOPLE DIED in Benghazi.
