Bombs Sent to the Clintons, Obama, CNN and Others
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo confirmed on Wednesday that suspicious packages containing explosive devices were intercepted from being sent to former president Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
A package addressed to former CIA Director John Brennan was also received at CNN‘s headquarters in New York City and at Cuomo’s office.
“There is a number of devices and there’s a pattern apparently to the number of devices. We wouldn’t be at all surprised if more devices show up. A device has been sent to my office in Manhattan which we were just informed about that and device is also being handled,” said Cuomo.
“BREAKING: Secret Service intercepts suspicious packages addressed to the residences of former President Obama and former First Lady Hillary Clinton. Working with our law enforcement partners on the investigation,” tweeted the U.S. Secret Service Wednesday morning.
On Monday, a similar package was discovered at liberal billionaire George Soros’ New York compound. According to a law enforcement source, this packaged was believed to be placed directly into Soros’ mailbox.
Another package addressed to Eric Holder was intercepted at Florida U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz’ office on Wednesday. The office of U.S. Rep Maxine Waters said it was also sent a suspicious package.
Bryan Paamann, an FBI special agent who leads the counterterrorism division in New York, said the devices found in the packages appear to be pipe bombs and to be constructed similarly.
The total number of packages sent with bombs has yet to be determined.
“A number of devices have been sent. They’re being handled. We wouldn’t be surprised if additional devices are sent. And the device that is been sent to my office has been identified and is being handled as we speak,” said Cuomo.
The package with a live explosive and an envelope containing white powder sent to the CNN office was recovered by NYC police. The Secret Service intercepted the package on its way to Obama Wednesday morning. The package intended for Clinton was discovered Tuesday night by the FBI, Secret Service and New Castle Police Department.
“The packages were immediately identified during routine mail screening procedures as potential explosive devices and were appropriately handled as such,” said officials.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio called the mailings “an act of terror.”
“This was clearly an act of terror attempting to undermine the free press and leaders of this country through acts of violence,” said De Blasio. “We’ve seen worse. And we will not be intimidated.”
The White House was quick to condemn the attempted attacks on the politicians and press.
“These terrorizing acts are despicable, and anyone responsible will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law,” said Sarah Sanders, the U.S. press secretary.
Trump said “we have to come together and send one very clear, strong, unmistakable message that threats or acts of political violence have no place in the United States of America” and that “the full weight of our government is being deployed to conduct this investigation.”
Author’s note: It’s likely that there are more packages being intercepted as we speak.
Editor’s note: It’s hard to say the purpose of this, but my own guess is this was not terrorists. These are all aimed at prominent Democrats and they are likely to be intended to influence the mid-term elections.
I call B.S.!
The best thing that has ever happened to the republican party is Hillary Clinton ,Obama Brennen ,Eric Holder CNN and George Soros….. without them we would not have Trump WHY WOULD ANY REPUBLICANS WANT TO BOMB THEM……… FBI….. THEY ARE GIVING US THE RED WAVE…… The packages were immediately identified during routine mail screening procedures as potential explosive devices and were appropriately handled as such. Both packages were intercepted prior to being delivered to their intended location. The protectees did not receive the packages nor were they at risk of receiving them. The Secret Service has initiated a full scope criminal investigation that will leverage all available federal, state, and local resources to determine the source of the packages and identify those responsible. FALSE FLAG AND REAL FAKE NEWS
good for you your right Now if only the dumb demo rats would ACTUALLY represent US real American tax payers rather than the ILLEGALS and TAX the blank out of US to SUPPORT the new DEMOCRATIC blue wave we could REALLY all get along .
clinton did it
Why would any Republican do this now? Right before the mid-terms? I believe that since none of the bombs went off that it is the Democrats who staged this whole event to gain sympathy to grab votes. I would not put anything past them they have shown that they will do anything to gain power especially lie to the American people and try to confuse and circle to distort the truth. This is what I believe because if a Republican sent those bombs they would have gone off…….but suspiciously not one went off, hmmm.
I agree Mark.
The democRATS themselves are sending the bombs to try and make the GOP look bad just before the election! How dumb do the democRATS think the people are!? This is just plain desperation on the part of the democRATS!
Maybe when the FBI travels to the Clinton estate, then can also investigate her email misuse. They do not have to obtain a search warrant to enter. The Deep State will come unglued.
Read’s like Dems are trying to generate a sympathy vote.
I find it curious that NOT a SINGLE one of these supposedly explosive devices, has actually exploded.
One might be forgiven, for believing this to be nothing more than a cheap political, Stunt by either a Liberal or democrat, seeking to gain both attention & sympathy from an otherwise seemingly non caring Public, who apparently have little to no sympathy with the demented outpourings from an Government opposition that can (When they were in Power advocate exactly the same proposals that the Present Administration proposes, but who since the POTUS was elected, have become the Party of NO).
The BLUE WAVE that the Opposition was touting, is apparently not happening.
So why not attempt to gain sympathy from an otherwise apathetic Public?
This is fodder for the loser liberals trying to get into office vote out the liberals and free Up the office’s for the GOP screw obama holder waters clinton and all the crybabies on the left are scumbags GO MAGA.
Fuck you fuck you fuck you. You stupid pubs will say anything so your not placed with any blame for this crap. It’s always a Looney pub that commits these shootings bombings cause you fags all love your guns and arms. Fuck you all and go to hell
Whats a pub?
what thow recieveth thou shal reap
I would not put it past the Democrats to do this themselves to up their votes. Corrupt people. Liars and corrupt..
I’m sure it is another George Soros funded stunt to try and make it look like the poor liberals are being attacked! Look at the paper package, and they know all letters and packages go through extensive screening before being delivered! Just another sad attempt by the left to try anything to get them a few more votes in the mid-term elections!! Americans are not that stupid and gullible!! It will surely be traced back to the crazy leftist I’m almost certain! Nothing else has worked for the Dems and neither will this!! They have no agenda but hate and mean rhetoric aimed at smart conservatives wanting nothing more than #MAGA!!! God help and heal this Great Country and open eyes everywhere no matter what their political affiliation is, and to help their minds to vote for a strong sovereign America!!
Seams odd no bombs went off and nothing but blame from liberals I say more smoke and mirrors. Trump has woke most of Americans to the lying crooks on the left. The left knows Americans know the trouble is from the left and he is bringing it forward. I hope President Trump does not change a thing and keeps pressure on the mob party. Dems have not done anything but be trouble. Let them cry
Most likely some nut job who has been watching too much FOX News. After all trump has been calling the press the “enemy of the people”. he has badmouthed and accused all who have received the bombs and praised a “clown congressman” for body slamming a reporter by calling him “my kinda guy”. When you honor violent behavior some right-wing nut job going to react so he can be “my kinda guy!
You cannot put one thing past the communist a.k.a. Democrat party as they will stoop lower than you could even imagine in your wildest dreams to overthrow this government, and this is the latest after the Cavanagh light in the box, the lie were all these communist who should be in prison and in the gas chamber for what they are physically called out which Tierney against the American people, should be addressed but this is another temp again by the left to make the right look like they have the ones who created this problem when in fact they have been creating this problem before Trump ever come to power attack and conservatives daily and covered up either Marxist media
Did Soros have his return address on his package.
The sad thing is there will have to be a scape goat. No one is certain who, or what is behind these mailings. one thing is for sure though, if it was terrorist I believe we would be looking at casualties by now. I find it hard to believe that Republicans would do something that would point a finger back at them. It is a strange thing that this and the migration of illegal immigrants are right before mid term elections. It does seem that someone is doing everything they can to make the conservative party to look bad. Let’s look ahead and If the mailing of the bombs go away without much coverage in the future, then we can rest assure the fake news is once again at work. I say fake news because what they report must have a bit of truth mingled and twisted to fit their agenda.
