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 take it this is the one Debbie Wasserman Shultz sent to Eric the Holder.

Yup. Doesn't matter if they are fakes or duds, the intent to terrorize is the sole criterion of terrorism.

The electrical tape was used to hold the fakeness together, not protect bare wire against a short.

The gauge of the wire is ridiculously large. The digital clocks works off a quarter size battery with the internal circuits drawing microAmps.

The digital clock has no digital switch external or accessible internally to trigger anything.

As far as fake bombs go this is in a CLOWNSHOE class of its own.

As many here suspected from the start, this was a commie ‘RAT stunt the commie RATS’ used to search for some sympathy from somewhere. Their “blue wave” isn’t working out. Sorry bastards all need to be in jail.

If it was a hoax, and if the Trump-Russia collusion investigation is an indication, we should find out something from the FBI around the year 2020.

You have been living in that Blue House for too long.

This is a hoax.
None of the devices were functional.

The media and Deep State is probably realizing they goofed and are going to come up with a reason why to address this.

How can we be certain the FBI is not the ones planting the bombs?

The FBI will probably say it was a couple of Russian hookers with bladder control issues.

Rats are trying to say the President’s language has encouraged a right winger to send these bombs. My thought is it is more likely that the Dem’s incendiary language encouraging violence against the GOP and the right is what would encourage someone to do this whether right or left.

If it’s someone on the right it’s a response to the left’s language inciting violence against the right and someone must have decided to give the left a taste of their own violent medicine. Though it is less likely to be someone on the right, it’s not how the right behaves. We vote, we speak out, we seldom behave violently.

So, most likely I’m would guess that it’s a leftist, who wants to make it look like it’s the right being violent, in order to redirect the conversation away from the short falls of the left which has been the current hot topic and will keep them from winning seats in congress this November. This makes sense, as so many times we have seen leftists and liberals fake attacks against themselves. I would guess that Maxine, Pelosi, Holder, Obama, et al’s language is what would cause one of their own to hatch a fake plan to blame the right. Which this most likely is. Time will tell.

Who needs an adversary enemy when you have our own within our very own government, with a complicit media, paid handsomely for life?

Tehran, Beijing, and Damascus, got nothing on our own Dept of Justice when it comes to dirty fat tricks on American citizens.

“This is a hoax.

So if a Palestinian man walks into a Tel Aviv cafe with a non-functional bomb strapped to his body, he is not a terrorist?

Schumer and Pelosi take a law enforcement matter and within hours blame the president. Hard to imagine anything more irresponsible.

Meanwhile a Democrat opened fire on republicans, and we didn’t blame democrats.
