7:50 p.m.

A law enforcement official says tests have determined that a powder found inside an envelope delivered to CNN along with a pipe bomb was harmless.

The official wasn’t authorized to discuss the investigation publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

"How do all these Bims show up at addresses all over the country on the same day and are found within a few hours of each other, including the one that was return to sender at DWS in Florida?"

So we have that, and the timer. Timers don't go with mail bombs. Mail bombs are ignited when opened--not when the clock reaches whatever.

The rest could work. A wire in each end could work, although that would be semi-retarded. Two wires come out of the same end of a blasting cap. Don't know if such a little clock would be within a good voltage range, or whether it would supply enough current. Could be made to do so, though.

I worked with demo in the National Guard, by the way. No one is an expert on the matter, but that's why I'm discussing it as though I have some knowledge (legitimate, clean cut, etc.).

"Why would any conservative want to harm these idiots that received the fake bombs."

Agreed. The maker and sender of those objects was either a radical lefty, a nut, a moron or any combination of the three.

We should focus on getting the vote out for the midterm elections. Distractions don't help us.

Amazing that they all arrived on the same day just in time to take the caravan off the front page.

The “bombs” didn’t all show up on the same day, if the article is accurate. It states that 4 of the bombs were found over “recent days”.

Idiot bint writes that authorities didn’t say whether the powder inside the “bombs” was explosive, but she keep calling the objects “explosives”.

That must have been exactly what happened.

I wonder if Hillary’s speechwriters polished her speech last week or earlier? Maybe she practiced her schoolmarm monotone in front of a mirror.

Hillary dodging bomb like the bullets flying all around her in Bosnia....


Isn’t it amazing how courageous Hillary is? That’s why she became President (in her own mind).

Is anything about the Clintons honest, truthful and straightforward? Didn’t think so.

"The 'bombs' didn’t all show up on the same day, if the article is accurate. It states that 4 of the bombs were found over 'recent days'."

Very strange that they publicized them all on the same day then.

This is the Pocahontas strategy. Claim bombs were sent when only fake bombs were sent. Kinda like Warren claiming to be an Indian when she is only a fake Indian. And of course now the Deep State NGOs like Facebook and Twitter are using the fake bomb story as if they were real.

"How do all these..."

They did not go through the USP system, so you are looking at RICO crimes by Dem operatives

Haven’t heard this theory yet...

Fake bombs sent to promote an excuse for the Blue Wave not happening. Takes the onus off the horrid ideas/lack thereof of the democratic party and the move to the left very few voters want.

I do not seriously wish any harm to Maxine (who has done more than any paid GOP ad to help our cause) but

a truly clever attacker would hide an explosive device in one of her James Brown wigs. No need for stamps and addresses. Just brush the head lice off it and plant the device.

Remember: for entertainment purposes only and not a serious proposal with intent to harm. No Maxines were hurt in the production of this joke.

That was coined the "Sympathy Vote" today by Doc Savage.

*Poor ole Dems are being persecuted, I should vote for them.

My wife got a package today that was marked “Amazon,” which is probably a code word for some right-wing cabal. Inside were several pairs of what at first glance appeared to be socks, but which, upon closer examination, may have been small thermonuclear devices. I suspect Donald Trump sent them to us ... because THEY WERE THE WRONG SIZE!!!!

I’m thinking not of sympathy votes, but a way to excuse a horrible loss in the midterms that did not require a rethink on their “platform” that their base requires now.

Their loss is our goal.

What they do with it to try to avoid prosecution for crimes and sedition is up to them.

I read that Gitmo got fresh paint and new curtains.

It’s a low IQ attack by low IQ demonrats trying to get sympathy votes and energize their base.......shenanigans by the base of the base........if you know what I mean.

I hope the FBI can get their collective heads out of their asses and find the democrats responsible for this and have them prosecuted on the most serious charges possible, including tampering with Federal elections.

Funny that the Rooskies or Mohammedans have not taken credit for the lame efforts.

Fake bombs for the false flags. Makes sense.
