Statement on the FBI’s Investigation of Suspicious Packages
The FBI ^ | Wednesday, October 24, 2018 | FBI Press Office

Posted on 10/24/2018 2:11:41 PM PDT by kristinn

Between October 22 and 24, 2018, suspicious packages were received at multiple locations in the New York and Washington, D.C., areas and Florida. The packages are being sent for analysis at the FBI Laboratory in Quantico, Virginia.

“This investigation is of the highest priority for the FBI. We have committed the full strength of the FBI’s resources and, together with our partners on our Joint Terrorism Task Forces, we will continue to work to identify and arrest whoever is responsible for sending these packages,” said FBI Director Christopher Wray. “We ask anyone who may have information to contact the FBI. Do not hesitate to call; no piece of information is too small to help us in this investigation.”

The packages are similar in appearance, as depicted in the below photograph, and contain potentially destructive devices.

The packages were mailed in manila envelopes with bubble wrap interior. The packages were affixed with computer-printed address labels and six Forever stamps. All packages had a return address of “DEBBIE WASSERMAN SHULTZ” [sic] in Florida. Packages identified to date were addressed to:

George Soros
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
Former President Barack Obama
Former CIA Director John Brennan, care of CNN
Former Attorney General Eric Holder

The package addressed to former Attorney General Holder did not reach its intended destination, but was rerouted to the return address in Florida.

The FBI will continue to work with our federal law enforcement partners at the United States Secret Service, United States Postal Inspection Service, and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, as well as our state and local law enforcement partners, to identify and arrest the person or people responsible for sending these packages.

It is possible that additional packages were mailed to other locations. The FBI advises the public to remain vigilant and not touch, move or handle any suspicious or unknown packages.

If you have information about these packages, please contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI or tips.fbi.gov. If you observe any suspicious activity that requires an immediate response, please call 911 or contact your local law enforcement.

I believe this was timed to reinforce yesterday's media meme that President Trump was "fear mongering" to boost Republican enthusiasm for the mid-term elections.

I believe the fear mongering charge is intended to deflect blame for the surge in Republican enthusiasm away from the abhorrent behavior of Democrats with Kavanaugh, and onto President Trump's "fear mongering."

“Potentially destructive devices”. You mean, “If they contained explosives, and a timer with an alarm function, and a blasting cap, and they’d all been wired together properly?”

I just saw a guy from Joe’s Plumbing drive by with several feet of “potentially destructive device” in the back of his truck. Better call it in.

Were they? At least the one package I have seen pictures of did not have the postmark on the stamps. So who is telling the truth? I doubt any of these went thru the post office.

I believe that this has been done by some insane Leftie , Bernie Sanders nutcase Antifa type , to try and throw a bad light on Trump supporters in general in advance of the upcoming midterms . It’s straight out of the Alinsky playbook.
I hope if and when this is discovered it is highly publicized by the President and everyone else .

Break out the popcorn

They should be able to identify the sender pretty quickly.

Agreed. I'd be surprised if we don't know the perp(s) within 48 hrs.

Over the weekend, I visted a friend who showed me a lot of letters written by a railroad engineer/ confederate military officer to his father. They were of course hand written and she struggled to transcribe them into several hundred type written pages.

The father was irritated with the son's writing and in the event of something thought to be derogatory to the family, he simply cut it out. Some of the letters had several long thin holes.

He redacted letters received by himself

Sorry, but I have no confidence that the FBI would ever tell US the truth.

Who will the FBI find to be the Richard Jewell or Bruce Ivans or Nakoula Nakoula in this case? Fake bombs investigated by a fake Justice Dept require a fake suspect, don’t they?

Earlier, I posted this:


It's interesting that with ALL these "pipe bombs" going around supposedly in the mail, NONE of them has detonated.

It's as if these "bombs" were not made to go off, they were made to be found.
