Maine woman found guilty of sending threatening mail to Sen. Collins ('It was a joke')

Suzanne Muscara was found guilty Monday of mailing threatening communication to Sen. Susan Collins last October, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

The Burlington woman had said the letter claiming to have anthrax that she tried to send to Collins’ Bangor home was just “a joke.”

A jury convicted Muscara after just one day of trial Monday at the U.S. District Court in Bangor. Muscara will remain held without bail until her sentencing, News Center Maine reported.

The letter that Suzanne Muscara tried to send had white powder in it. She told FBI agents the white powder was only baking soda and she thought the letter was funny even though it claimed to contain anthrax.

The letter was intercepted by the U.S. Postal Service, which had started screening the senator’s mail after she had received another letter two days earlier claiming to contain poison.

Inside the envelope Muscara sent was an Aetna insurance flyer with a handwritten note reading: “Anthrax!!! HA HA HA.” There was also a drawing of a person with two Xs for eyes and a tongue sticking out with an arrow that read: “You.”

A joke in the form of a threat is still a threat. I have no use for Collins, but the excuse is lame.

Collins voted for Kavanaugh. She deserves respect for that.

The criminal feminists didn’t like Collins’ support for Kavanaugh. What a surprise.

A GOP Senator votes for a GOP SCOTUS nom and deserves respect for that? Isn’t that what she was elected to do? How far we have fallen if dong her job deserves major kudos.

You're absolutely correct. No conservative sent that letter to Collins. Collins is on the Left's schiff-list for supporting Kavanaugh.

Hope that creepy young TDS nutcase gets put in the pokey...and as for you, Sen. Collins, get lost, or should I say.....just take a powder.

Aren’t you a riot. Sis, the article is typical sloppy reporting so I had to poke around a bit, but it seems like you’re looking at up to 10 years and a $250K fine. Now THAT’S funny!

“Collins voted for Kavanaugh. She deserves respect for that.”

I would tell you you’re full of crap by judging her that way...but I’d be lying, unless I could produce a Democrat, ANY DEMOCRAT, who voted for Kavanaugh...but I cannot.

The closest was Manchin, but even he, the MOST CONSERVATIVE Democrat in the Senate, would not support Kavanaugh until Collins committed first. The other Democrats wasted no time in opposing Kavanaugh, even though virtually all of them knew that the accusations were total BS.

What bites is that Collins is likely to be replaced by a Democrat next year, because of the IDIOTS on our side nominating Roy Moore in Alabama, just to hand that seat to the Democrats - thereby forcing Collins to put her seat at risk for Kavanaugh.

Roy Moore - the LOSER who keeps on losing seats for us.

In the northeast, moderate democRATS are considered conservatives, which they are not.

But everyone else is so far left that she can get by calling herself a Republican.

She's always been a Republican that the GOP can't count on.

In reality, she is a democRAT with a small "r" on her lapel.

That must have been the punchline leading up to her little joke. 8>)
