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.

The FBI would never EVER release details about an alleged package/mail bomb.

This is a pure false-flag / propaganda attempt with the FBI at the helm.

I'm absolutely convinced of that.

The FBI NEVER released details of the Unabomber's packages for example, or any other mail-bomber in the past. Why change that protocol now?

Critical thinking is REQUIRED here folks!!!

There is no such thing as a terrorist hoax.

Given your clear lack of critical thinking skills, perhaps DU is more your speed today?

Even with the bombs being non-functional, the acts of sending such items are acts of terrorism, and the perpetrator(s) should be treated as terrorists.

So you’re banking on the hoaxers being right-wingers then?

That’s a possibility I guess.

Their motives and philosophy are irrelevant.

They need to be found, arrested, convicted and sentenced to life in prison, or even death.

Right, so you’re banking on them being right-wingers.

I guess we’ll see how it pans out.

“This investigation is of the highest priority for the FBI.”

So funny. The FBI is going to investigate the FBI. Is that incest? Multiple personalities? Smokescreen? Just plain insane?

I’m not banking on their political philosophy, I just hope they are arrested, convicted and punished severely.

I don’t believe there will ever be a factual and true report of an investigation into this hoax coming from the thoroughly corrupted FBI, or any other DOJ department.

I'm afraid I agree with you.

Oh of course. Because this is highly dramatic and stuff.

Guess we’ll see how it plays out.
