Must be a big package. Hope it's a false alert.

—Must be a big package. Hope it’s a false alert.—

As your comment demonstrates, it’s Twitter, and it’s hard to tell what’s going on.

I misread that and thought it said “Stimulus Package”.

[UCANSEE2]

OH.... I have a feeling that this was ‘planned’, and they will keep the area (DOJ and FBI) shut down until after the July 4 Holiday.

Time will tell...

Must an “Fire Eric Holder” protest going on..

[newheart]

I hope it is a false alarm too. My son has a summer job at the Archives. A block away.

This looks like a anti-protest strategy to me.

Any protest the Obama administration doesn't like, such as the Fire Eric Holder protest. They simply announce a suspicious package and close the streets. They may even have an operative place a suspicious package

Thus it's hard to level anti-free-speech charges at them, because they aren't preventing the protest so much as they are protecting people from the suspicious package.

Do you have a trace on the tweet?

[dagogo redux]

I was nowhere NEAR D.C.

[RatRipper]

Seems they might be a tad paranoid and jumpy after the atrocious behavior of the Democrats lately.

Al Gore?............

[Buckeye McFrog]

apparently with a Dora the Explorer fanny pack and a Twitter account, one can bring the entire Federal Government to a standstill...

[Navy Patriot]

There will be “suspicious” packages found anywhere within a hundred miles of any Fire Eric Holder protest, courtesy of the Secret Service.

[kevinm13]

That package is Eric Holder.

[Cowgirl of Justice]

It is probably a box of WH vegetables, compliments of Mooch.

I bet she has sent them all over the place. Hope she remembered to have ‘her staff’ remove the stickers.

[drypowder]

the package will probably be left where it is as a way to keep protesters away from the scumbag politicians

[CodeToad]

I bet it is an actual copy of the United States Constitution that the Supreme Court is so afraid of.

OPERATION FALSE FLAG?
