The pipe bomb and white powder that forced an evacuation at CNN headquarters in New York City Wednesday morning were harmless, a law enforcement source told the Associated Press.
The purported explosive device was similar in construction to those sent Wednesday to former President Barack Obama, former attorney general Eric Holder, Hillary Clinton, Representative Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D., Fla.), and Representative Maxine Waters of California. A package containing white powder was delivered later in the day.
The NYPD said the explosive devices were live during a Wednesday afternoon press conference but subsequent reporting suggests they were not functional.
All of the devices carried a parody ISIS flag featuring comedian Larry the Cable Guy’s signature slogan, “git ‘er done,” NBC News reported late Wednesday.

they also seem not to want to comment on how, from Florida to DC to LA to SanDiego, they all arrived on the same morning under regular postage - including those 2 returned to DWS as undeliverable. Better add, with the exception of Soros, who got his Monday even though he’s half a block from the Clintons
what are the odds?
Holder authored a cryptic message Friday, suggesting ‘change will come.’ But the pkg would have been in the mail by then I suppose:
““Trump and Sessions are trying to destroy the traditions of the Justice Department,” Holder wrote. “Hope is found in the career employees who stand for institutional norms. Now is the time for them to continue to be strong – change will come. We support you.”
No Hispanics got one, did they? Just black and white. And Maxi got 2 - one on each coast, the same day like the others
“These people are stupid.”-Q
Makes me think this is a Berniebot who just woke up before another election and decided to punish Hillary and Hillary-supporting morons who blew the 2016 election which Bernie would undoubtedly have won if Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz had not rigged the primaries. The misspelling of Schultz, Florida and Brennan point to someone with Berniebot-level intelligence and education.
“Delays,delays”
Don’t give the dims any ideas. They’ll be wanting to postpone the election until we can make sure there are no threats at the polls
LOLOLOLOL!!!!
Earlier I’d heard that the CNN package went by courier and the Soros mailbox package was placed there by someone other than USPS.
Soro’s package was days earlier (making the news cycle Wednesday).
Some packages were at “processing centers” (former presidents) but it is unclear if they had actually gone through the US mail.
were all of the packages within the same city or state?
How could all of the packages (except for Soros) all arrive at their targets (or be discovered en routes) on the same date if some were being delivered to California or elsewhere from an east coast perp?
Does it point to a network of persons working together?
Side note, the 9/11 anniversary passed a few months ago and scant coverage was given yet again to the anthrax attacks and NONE of that coverage mentions the tabloid journalist who was murdered via anthrax prior to the 9-11-1 attack. Whoever launched the anthrax attack did so in tandem with than event, it wasn’t merely “I have this anthrax and this would be a good cover to use it”. First strike was before 9-11. Subsequent strikes reference jihad. FBI was “certain” of two unassociated suspects being one (or the other) responsible.
“what kind of beumb was it?”
“the non-exploding kind”
It didn’t explode upon opening the envelope, and the timer still had at least a couple of minutes on it, so they shrugged their shoulders and took the picture. All righty then!
"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."
It can be parsed two ways, but certainly the most likely way is to apply "harmless" to only the powder, rather than to apply "harmless" to the pipe bomb as well. If not, AP would have said "were harmless" instead.
I thought I saw somewhere that the explosive used was gunpowder. Probably from firecrackers I'd guess. And I'm sure there's probably at least enough packed in there to blow someone's fingernail off. :-)
And if what some people have said is true, it could be that the "detonator" isn't capable of igniting gunpowder or anything else. In which case it would be basically non functional. Still, the mere fact that it contained any amount of gunpowder at all would be all the excuse needed for the MSM to claim it was a threat to the lives of the recipients.
Maybe Bill Ayers did it:

No Regrets for a Love Of Explosives; In a Memoir of Sorts, a War Protester Talks of Life With the Weathermen
By DINITIA SMITH
SEPT. 11, 2001
‘’I don’t regret setting bombs,’’ Bill Ayers said. ‘’I feel we didn’t do enough.’’ Mr. Ayers, who spent the 1970’s as a fugitive in the Weather Underground, was sitting in the kitchen of his big turn-of-the-19th-century stone house in the Hyde Park district of Chicago. The long curly locks in his Wanted poster are shorn, though he wears earrings. He still has tattooed on his neck the rainbow-and-lightning Weathermen logo that appeared on letters taking responsibility for bombings. And he still has the ebullient, ingratiating manner, the apparently intense interest in other people, that made him a charismatic figure in the radical student movement.
Now he has written a book, ‘’Fugitive Days’’ (Beacon Press, September). Mr. Ayers, who is 56, calls it a memoir, somewhat coyly perhaps, since he also says some of it is fiction. He writes that he participated in the bombings of New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, of the Capitol building in 1971, the Pentagon in 1972. But Mr. Ayers also seems to want to have it both ways, taking responsibility for daring acts in his youth, then deflecting it.
‘’Is this, then, the truth?,’’ he writes. ‘’Not exactly. Although it feels entirely honest to me.’’
...And if there were another Vietnam, he is asked, would he participate again in the Weathermen bombings?
By way of an answer, Mr. Ayers quoted from ‘’The Cure at Troy,’’ Seamus Heaney’s retelling of Sophocles’ ‘’Philoctetes:’’ ‘’ ‘Human beings suffer,/ They torture one another./ They get hurt and get hard.’

ALLEGED explosive device
If this was indeed delivered by courier, they (CNN and just about every building) should have security cam footage and possibly a sign-in record.
They’ll get the sender, I just hope they expose the democrats in enough time to have an effect on the election.
If the police sources leak that they think it’s a democrat, the story will disapear by the next news cycle.
too tired
A fake hoax just like the Kav allegations.
I would love to see side by side pics of ALL the “bombs”!!
They will be "bombs" forever.
Is it known that it was actually "explosive"? Or is it just people jumping to conclusions. If it looks like a lethal bomb, it IS a bomb?
"Hey, everyone, here's my bomb! They sent me one! Cool, they wanted to kill me! I must be important! What? Oh, shit, whose idea was it for me to go public with this??"
Exactly what I said! She’s always screaming like a banshee.
Priceless!
