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.

One time, a great leader said, ““In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.”

If you want to find who laid the bombs, look who needed to. The conservatives have the majority in the house, the senate, the supreme court, and the POTUS. That narrows the possibilities down to the people with the most at stake, doesn’t it? They were probably in charge at the Donner Party, too.

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?

In Tel Aviv, NO! He's a DEAD!

If it’s a timer, which it appears to be, you can run a lead from the speaker.

“In Tel Aviv, NO! He’s a DEAD!”

Then the person who is sending these packages should meet the same fate.

You have a point, except that palestinian terrorists bombs work most of the time.
These were never intended to work.

This would be bomber does not seem to be all that smart.

Simply because he is a failed bomber does not mean the he did not have an intent to kill.

My guess it that they should have the perp within 48 hours.

I would bet the arrest warrants are already filled out.

My guess is that they will be for members of a "right-wing-militia" where about 30% of the members are FBI informants.

And the bomb supplier will turn out to be one of those informants. You might notice that all of the bombs have been duds. I would expect they were designed that way.

Anyone paying attention would know that the addressees are people who never open their own mail. This seems like a remarkably stupid publicity stunt if is not a provocateur action.

Sorry. I meant to say they were different envelopes, but neither had stamps from the post office. —Was trying to figure out how to make a smaller pic, but when I punched post to see what it would look like, it posted.

The hoax is not only a criminal act, nut a prelude to make actual terrorist bombings under cover of blaming the other party for hate crimes...

The Obama terrorist machine is only starting to gear up and gelded Session is hiding in his bunker
