Suspect packages had this in common: a return address for Debbie Wasserman Schultz

Quote:

Suspicious packages sent to Hillary Clinton, former President Barack Obama, former CIA Director John Brennan, former Attorney General Eric Holder and billionaire George Soros all had one thing in common: the return address was U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s office in Sunrise.

A package sent to an incorrect address for Holder in Washington, D.C., was returned to Wasserman Schultz’s Sunrise office, prompting the evacuation of her office on Wednesday morning. The return address included misspellings of the street name, Wasserman Schultz’s last name and the state of Florida.

A package addressed to Brennan and sent to CNN headquarters in New York had the same spelling errors as the package sent to Holder. Brennan does not work for CNN. He is a contributor to MSNBC. Packages for Obama and Clinton contained similar return addresses, according to law enforcement officials.

I rest my case, Your Honor; the sender's a redcap.

More likely a tinfoil hat.

Seed thought, "What if the sender misspelled the names and made mistakes on the addresses on purpose to look like a left or a right wing nut"

My TV is full of this stuff with bomb experts inspecting these package bombs, a map of all of the democrats that were targeted, including billionaire Sorus, who has been known to fund activist against the GOP. All less than two weeks before the mid-term elections ...

I hope the FBI uncovers this plot before the elections

It's come to the point that I hope the FBI isn't "involved".

And this shows up right before an election.... Sounds familiar

It sure does. It's almost as if they weren't actually intended to work.

I wonder what the chances are that when the person doing this is captured that he or she turns out to be a former military member who served in Iraq/AF?

Anything is possible but you'd think a vet could make a bomb that works.

Speaking as a former EOD tech, building IEDs are one of those things where the theory and design are easy, the actual construction is a lot harder.

And that's a good thing.

Why how could that be? Surely somebody who hated these wonderful champions of foreigners' rights enough to send them bombs would surely want those bombs to explode?

Anybody with an Estes Rocketry catalog from the '70s can make "bombs". Estes always put a "what not to do" section in their catalog. Big oopsie! I bet they'd be sued to death today! LMAO Anyone with ___________ can make a device.

I was just answering your question on the likelyhood that it's a war veteran. Whoever the perpetrator(s) are they are 0 for 10.

Glad no one was hurt, there is to much anger, hate, screaming, vulgarity and mob behavior these days. Time to shut off the social media and news and get some fishing done.

You know, it occurred to me there might be a third interested party at work here: Russia. We already know they have been very actively trying to interfere in the internal election politics of the US and there is already evidence of Russia seeking new ways to create chaos among the electorate and we also know they have been, through social media, playing both sides by posting inflammatory messages designed to deepen partisan rifts. It would not be that great of a leap to imagine their operatives would set up a situation like this bomb scare just to further their ends...
