Crudely made package bombs will provide treasure trove of evidence
FoxNews.com ^ | Oct 25, 2018 | Barnini Chakraborty, Chris Irvine | Fox News

Fortunately for the victims and investigators, the bombs were crudely made, did not explode and contain a treasure trove of valuable information that can be used to track down the culprit.

“There’s DNA that can be recovered from the device,” Ryan Morris, founder of Tripwire Operation Group, a company that provides explosives training to law enforcement and military officials, told Fox News. 

Morris said that investigators will likely be able to take DNA from the fingerprints found on the tape as well as the saliva from the postage stamps. Each package that was sent had six postage stamps attacked. Experts will also test the powder and look for specific chemical markers that can be used to identify the person or persons involved.

Fran Townsend, former Homeland Security Advisor in the George W Bush administration, and now CBS News’s security analyst, said the bombs were “not a standard recipe”.

“He didn’t go on the internet and just pull down the standard Al Qaeda recipe which we’ve seen before, so he’s left his own signature, there’s something unique about the way this has been put together which will be very helpful for investigators," she told CBS News.

She added that she thinks there will be plenty of breaks in the case because of the bomber’s perceived sloppiness.

“This is somebody who has made plenty of mistakes – the wrong address to Eric Holder, misspelling John Brennan’s name, John Brennan doesn’t work at CNN, he works at NBC, so this is somebody who has made plenty of mistakes along the way. All the outside packages are identical – six stamps, two tiers, printed labels. This is somebody who has likely left a lot of clues.”

(impersonating a liberal) Sending bombs to anyone is reprehensible and cannot be condoned BUT... we must understand the ROOT CAUSES of what would drive individuals to take such desperate actions. People who are disenfranchised and feel oppressed and blah blah blah

Couldn’t such “mistakes” be misdirection, just as the apparent “targets” are most likely misdirection??

Also, while I have never thought about how to get away with sending anonymous package bombs, wouldn’t avoiding fingerprints and saliva be obvious to anyone? Maybe such packages weren’t assembled in a perfect high-tech “clean room” but it would be pretty amazing if the sender licked stamps or didn’t use light gloves to avoid the most obvious traces. Maybe there will be other bits of DNA from skin flecks etc. but would the mail bomber/hoaxer really be totally stupid?

Anyone else notice that the
response from liberals isn’t
A demand to Find those who
sent the bombs, instead it’s
Outcry against those they want
Blamed for it.

As usual, an angry left wing mob
calling for a lynching instead of
justice. And more proof they can not be trusted with the reigns of power.

The evidence probably will be there. Then the FBI will “miss it”.

....."They weren’t bombs"......

Fake bombs are as counterfeit bills/money.....not real but certainly accomplishes the goal ....until caught and investigated.

Thinking over this I no longer think this was a well thought out psyop. I’m betting on it being a sloppy antifa moron scam. These folks are not all that bright.

Wouldn't put it past the FBI or BATFE to find a mentally ill, low IQ "right winger" to set up to do this.

Remember Lone Wolf Trading during Fast & Furious? (Not that they're low IQ)

I don’t know, man.

The goal of an actual bomb is to kill with far more force than necessary.

The goal of these fake bombs in particular is to blame Trump and generate sympathy for the devil.

Lots of ‘tape’ used on envelopes....with all the DNA floating around the tape likely picked some of it up.

Cameras outside as well as inside at all US post offices.

They are well concealed.

I doubt leftists are that stupid. Plus it depends on the political viewpoint of the investigators. If the Stzrok wing of the FBI is tracing the bombs, the source will never be found. Anyone seen Blasey Ford anywhere by the way? No appearances anywhere. Not even a one off video of her caught by an amateur. These people aren’t stupid. If anyone became aware of her normal behavior, the big lie would be exposed.
