Nobody is asking the obvious question: where did she get the ricin in the first place? You can’t just go down to WalMart and buy some weaponized chemical warfare stuff, don’t you know. There’s a lot more to this story than we’re being told.

Law enforce habitually engages in wild exaggeration. This might be just some ground up castor beans (from which ricin is derived). Maybe not enough to be really dangerous, but enough to be arouse suspicion and set off alarms.

As far as we know, there were only trace amounts of ricin involved. It is pretty easy to get some ricin from mashing up castor beans, and squeezing out the oil. The ricin is supposed to be in what is left.

From what I have seen, just smearing a little of the residue on a letter will be enough to set of detectors.

“Where ricin is found and how it is used

Castor beans are processed throughout the world to make castor oil. Ricin is part of the waste “mash” produced when castor oil is made.”

Exactly...And, probably a lot easier and safer to somehow feed the stuff to her husband than involve a Mayer and and someone who calls himself a President...
