The FBI has confirmed that a letter addressed to President Obama has "preliminarily tested positive" for ricin, a day after lawmakers said another letter sent to the Capitol Hill office of Sen. Roger Wicker tested positive for the same substance.

The warnings come amid a flurry of reports on suspicious packages. Fox News has learned of several suspicious packages or envelopes in various Capitol Hill office buildings.

This is a multipronged terror strike by Muslims.

Sounds like NASA didn't outreach well enough.

“Maxine Waters is calling for ALL government emails be tested for traces of Ricin”


She is such a mindless dog, let her sniff all the mail.

She would be doing the country a favor.

And all the ‘officials’ and media act as if 0bama (or any president) opens and reads their own mail.

And as if all mail going to the Whitehouse or Congress isn’t neurtalized before ANYONE opens it, and that on the RARE occasions that one actually gets handled and read by its intended recipient, it will go through at least 20 intermediaries in the case of the president, and at least three intermediaries for a congresscritter.

mcAfee is a seriously messed up dude but the perfect drug using idiot to stumble across a plot involving drugsters

he claimed his itelleiegnce was that with the help of the cartels enough islamo fascist ricin has already been shipped to America to kill every man woman and child

all it takes is the size of a bb pellet

now question is whether the plotters achieved weaponization and how and on what scale
