By Pete Williams, Kristen Welker and Erin McClam, NBC News Federal agents on Wednesday arrested a suspect in the mailing of letters to President Barack Obama and a U.S. senator that initially tested positive for the poison ricin.

The suspect was identified as Kenneth Curtis of Tupelo, Miss., federal officials told NBC News.

Both letters carried an identical closing statement, according to an FBI bulletin obtained by NBC News on Wednesday.

According to the FBI bulletin, both letters, postmarked April 8, 2013 out of Memphis, Tenn., included an identical phrase, "to see a wrong and not expose it, is to become a silent partner to its continuance."

In addition, both letters are signed: "I am KC and I approve this message."

But he also sent it to the usurper, Cornyn and Levin. Kind of random.

A suspect has been identified. Of course, the media continues to ignore the mail bomb that was sent to Sheriff Joe Arpaio last week.

Well, the media only now got shamed into covering the abortion trial. Give it time, they may yet give traction to the attack on Joe Arpaio.

I wonder how many relatives he just sprung from prison with that gift.

“I am KC, don’t forget to release my relatives.”

He sure doesn’t sound very bright. My guess is he is a mental case. Signed his stupid initials. I bet it isn’t ricin after all is said and done either.
