It’s a federal case, but the potential for libtard “justice” is always there....

I wonder how the “facts” and evidence of such mailings are treated nowadays in court, i.e., it is clearly an attempt to make the recipient(s) believe they have just received a terroristic packet of anthrax, but does the legal system treat it that way when it’s “just a hoax”???

Terroristic hoaxes should be punished very severely, but I don’t know how they stand under the relevant statutues (once the substance involved is found to be harmless).

EVERY LETTER is photographed as it is processed by the USPS - and with that, they can start zeroing in who mailed it.

Should have used 1060 W. Addison, Chicago, IL as the return address.

My thought also. If not an outright fingerprint or DNA on file already how did they catch the guy.

Beverly man Daniel Frisiello charged with mailing white powder to Donald Trump Jr., four other public figures

By Dan Glaun dglaun@masslive.comUpdated 12:22 PM; Posted 11:30 AM

Daniel Frisiello, a 24-year-old Beverly man, has been charged with sending a letter containing white powder to Donald Trump Jr., President Donald Trump's eldest son.

And, according to the criminal complaint issued by the Massachusetts U.S. Attorney's Office, Trump's family were not Frisiello's only victims.

Frisiello was charged with five counts of mailing a threat to cause injury and five counts of making hoax threats, after allegedly sending letters containing powder to five different addresses in the last month.

One letter, sent last month, sparked national news coverage after members of Trump's family opened it and were hospitalized as a precaution.

Three people in the apartment, including his wife Vanessa Trump, were taken to New York Presbyterian-Weill Cornell Medical Center, the New York City Fire Department told NBC News.

The powder in all five letters was found to be non-hazardous, according to the criminal complaint.

The letter to Trump was postmarked from Boston on Feb. 7, according to the complaint authored by Postal Inspector Michael J. Connelly. It included both an "unknown suspicious white powder" and a hostile message, Connelly wrote.

"You are an awful, awful person. I am surprised that your father lets you speak on TV," Frisiello allegedly wrote. "You make the family idiot, Eric, look smart. This is the reason why people hate you, so you are getting what you deserve. So shut the [expletive] UP!"

Investigators were initially given a false lead when someone falsely took credit for sending the letter in a post on the Facebook page of a Boston news station, the complaint said. That person later recanted and investigators found the person was in Minneapolis at the time the letter was sent from Boston.

Frisiello's other letters all contained white powder and allegedly targeted four other people involved in high-profile legal and social controversies.

Frisiello also sent a letter to California U.S. Attorney Nicola T. Hanna, blaming her for the death of former Glee actor Mark Salling, who reportedly killed himself on Jan. 30 while awaiting sentencing on child pornography charges.

Another letter was sent to Stanford University Professor Michele Dauber, who had advocated for the victim of convicted rapist Brock Turney and had worked to recall Judge Aaron Persky, who was criticized across the United States for sentencing Turner to six months in jail.

"Since you are going to disrobe Persky, I am going to treat you like 'Emily Doe,' " Frisiello allegedly wrote. "Let's see what kind of sentence I get for being a rich white male."

The fourth letter, sent to Michigan Sen. Deborah Stabenow, was postmarked on Feb. 12 and opened by an individual in Stabenow's office. The message inside criticized Stabenow for her comments sympathizing with Randy Margrave, the father of three victims of former USA Gymnastics team doctor and serial sexual abuser Larry Nassar, who tried to attack Nassar during a sentencing hearing in February.

"If you condone Margraves [sic] reaction to his daughter's testimony on Dr. Nassar, you are no better than he is. You deserve what is coming to you like he is thinking you're a [expletive] version of a vigilante," Frisiello allegedly wrote.

The fifth letter included both white powder and a series of anti-Semitic slurs directed at California Republican Congressional candidate Antonion Sabato Jr, an Italian actor and Trump supporter with Jewish roots.

Frisiello's efforts to hide his identity were undone when he allegedly used the website shipyourenemiesglitter.com -- currently taken offline -- to send Dauber a "glitter bomb" containing the same message as the white powder envelope she had already received.

Investigators contacted the owner of the the website, who reviewed records and disclosed that Frisiello had ordered the glitter bomb for Dauber.

"The owner also told law enforcement that Frisiello had attempted to use his company to send over ten additional glitter bombs to other people, including members of President Trump's family," the criminal complaint said.

Investigators obtained Frisiello's IP address from the payment service used by shipyourenemiesglitter.com and his address from RMV records and law enforcement databases.

Investigators also found a Facebook account apparently belonging to Frisiello. Frisiello allegedly posted a news clip about the white powder envelope sent to Trump Jr. on Feb. 12. Other posts referred to Salling's death and Stabenow's reaction to the Nassar case. Investigators also tracked Frisiello's card purchases to a Beverly CVS, and reviewed security footage that showed a man who appeared to be Frasiello making the purchase.

They also found evidence of stamp purchases and packing tape matching those found on the envelopes in Frisiello's trash.

A warrant for Frisiello's arrest was issued on Feb. 28, and the criminal complaint against him was publicly released Thursday morning.

Thanks. Someone needs to go in and note all of the associations of Democrat groups that he has listed on his page before it gets scrubbed.

I wasn't familiar with this "glitter bomb" concept, but apparently it originated a few years ago with rabid gay activists dumping glitter on Republican candidates. It should definitely be treated as assault when it's done in person, and via mail it is a terroristic hoax and threat, since the recipient has no way at all of knowing it is not dangerous.

He seemed to hit a couple of liberals, too, either because they were not radical enough for him or because they crossed his wires in some specific way. Hating on a US Attorney for prosecuting child pornography charges???? Maybe this guy has child molesting and child porn activities that should be added to his rap sheet??????

Good to know that the glitter-bomb website didn’t offer a white powder option.
