Numerous packages containing suspected explosive devices were intercepted en route to some of the country’s most prominent political figures – including former President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton – putting law enforcement on high alert Wednesday and prompting evacuations and sweeps of facilities across the country.
In the latest incident, New York Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced at a press conference that a “device” was sent to his Manhattan office. He revealed the discovery as law enforcement officers suggested a link among the devices and said they appear to be pipe bombs.
The rapidly evolving security scare went public when the Secret Service confirmed Wednesday morning its officers had “intercepted” two suspicious packages identified as “potential explosive devices” sent to Obama and Clinton.
CNN employees, shortly afterward, were evacuated from their New York office, due to a suspicious package at the Time Warner Center. CNN said the package with a suspicious device was addressed to ex-CIA director John Brennan (who is an analyst for NBC).

They keep pushing or violent confrontations, it looks like somebody is taking them up on it. All I can say is: You buttered your bread, now lay in it.
Rush Limbaugh is suggesting this might be a false-flag operation, designed to get voters being Sympathetic to liberals, this close to the election.
PART OF me wishes to agree.
Another part HOPES its not a republican who is doing this. Because that would just FEED right into the liberal’s agenda of labeling us haters.
I smell a rat.
None of those “bombs” had postmarks on the stamps. I saw on CNN today that there were 6 bombs sent out to various far-left targets. How did CNN know there were 5 more if it wasn’t choreographed?
If this ws real, CNN would have said, Someone sent us a bomb. And then later, Someone sent the Clintons a bomb too. And then slowly build the picture of what was happening. They didn’t. 6 bombs was the immediate story.
And none of them went off. None of them exploded. Nobody was hurt. If this really was a Republican, the bombs would have worked. But all six were duds? You’d have better odds winning that lottery.
I’m not buying it for a second. On the Right we have “stolen valor”. This was the Left performing “stolen victimhood”. They’re trying to look like targets.
It’s a race to the bottom.
There’s no limit to how low they will stoop.
Also consider the logistics.
Was it 6 individuals all making identical bombs, and placing them in random drop boxes across the country? Now what are the odds that they’d all be delivered the same day?
Or was it 1 bomber taking 6 packages to the Post Office? And nobody got suspicious? They have bomb detectors. They should have the guy on camera by now.
Or what if someone bypassed the Post Office to avoid the bomb sniffers. How close could you get to the Clintons, who have secret service agents 24/7? Or George Soros, who no doubt has armed guards and security cameras everywhere?
And who even knows his address? Or the Clintons?
This was an inside job to make the GOP look like terrorists.
Dr G.. As per this evening’s CBS news, they were claiming the reason the bomb packages looked light, was so the bomber(s) could mail them via postal boxes, and NOT have to go into the post office itself.
BUT IF THAT’s the case, they would have all been picked up at the same postal branch, all share the same post mark, and depending on where they were shipped to, potentially all arrived at DIFFERENT times. Not all on a coordinated day.
If anything is ever proven regarding this Democrat-party-conspired-fiasco, it will be that this entire orchestrated event is simply another Democrat-inspired (with co-conspirator FakeNews) ruse for the sole purpose/intent to recover lost ground due to their criminally bad behavior and to generate if only a semblance of sympathy once again to offset their atrocious, vitriolic behavior during most recently their Kavanaugh besmirching/crucifixion and as well their criminal continuous calls for riots, mobs, physical violence and criminal altercations to be administered toward anyone and everyone that disagrees with their agenda. They have for years now purchased the main stream media whores of the FakeNews variety in their attempt to further their anti-American nation-destroying agenda. There are doubtless a smattering of decent civil-minded members of the Democrat party who have observed the vile behavior of their demented leadership and devoted lemmings and are fed up with their scummy tactics and unprecedented evils that lurk within their party, and who therefore are considering jumping off that scurvy smut-ridden ship of mutineers for the betterment of their country…and for their themselves.
I certainly don’t doubt, that if the FBI’s investigation finds that these WERE a “Fake flag” operation, we won’t hear diddly squat from the media about it..
Suspicious? Hardly.
Radical progressives are sending suspicious packages to themselves. It makes headlines. And the “targets” will come out and say how dangerous “Trump” supporters are. Don’t fall for this B.S.!
Looks like another DNC hoax orchestrated by the Clintons, Obama, Holder, Schumer, Podesra and the rest of the unhinged clowns that have been pushing Global Warming, the Kavanaugh scam, etc..
You notice that none of these phony DNC targets were anywhere near a dangerous explosive, and then Hillary Clinton comes out immediately with a rehearsed speech she has obviously been working on some time now.
Just another phony DNC scheme attempting to get sympathy votes in November. Maybe the porn star attorney will be next to jump on the DNC band wagon again to make the same false claim.
Not a single successful explosion? How very fortunate for the Democrats.
They were identified as “potential explosive devises”.
Probably just lacking anything actually dangerous. Like explosives.
No conservative would waste time on these has beens. There are plenty of up and coming threats that beg for attention.
I certainly wouldn’t be shocked, that if they WERE found out to have been sent by liberals, as a way to ‘garner sympathy’, THAT FACT never makes the headlines..
They sent each other the packets, and then sent a combined one to Commie Numpties Network — Occam’s razor!
It’s probably Democrats sending their own these love presents to drum up Sympathy Votes.
This reminds me of back in the day when loudmouth Morton Downey Jr. was dropping in the polls and he needed something sensational to boost his presence.
LINK
So he goes into a public bathroom and paints a 3-year-old version of a swastika on his own face, slaps himself around a bit (not enough) and claimed he was attacked. But then a thorough investigation showed nobody else was there. He later admitted to faking the whole thing.
So pathetic.
CNN is now the Morton Downey Jr. of News channels. A loudmouth that nobody pays attention to anymore, and for good reason.
Did anything happen to him?
Democrats will do anything to get off the subject of the illegal mob coming to the US.
Fire at Reichstag ! Minorities impacted most!
I always thought pipe bombs and white powders were the choice of low skilled leftist operatives.
I will bet these so called packages were dummy ploys to make the republican party look as desperate as they are . They were sent by the democratic party.
Okay, here we go. We will be bombarded 24/7 thru election day by media who will scream it’s all Trumps fault for inciting violence against CNN, Clintons, Holder and Soros because he isn’t afraid to call them out publicly.
Trump and family receive death threats every day, Scalise was shot and nearly died by Bernie supporter, Madonna shouts she wants to blow up WH, Linda Sarsour marches in support of legalized vicious FGM and oppressive Sharia law, TV so-called comedy portray Trump beheaded, Trump as Caesar being attacked by gang and murdered and another not so funny jokester thought Kavanaugh should have penis cutoff and a rap song showed Trump being shot in head. So peaceful huh?
Most recently Sen Graham was dripping in spit and other Repubs have been mobbed, screamed at and violently harassed in public but leftist anarchists consider all this to be merely “expressing 1st amendment rights”.
Yeah, sure.
So, it is clear leftist liberals are ones who incite violence and blood and murder is acceptable to get their way, preferably to Trump or supporters but they are quite willing to sacrifice people on their side since they will blame Trump / supporters either way.
The leftist democrat apparatchik have started a chorus of ” Me Too,” with the recent rash of ,’ I received a bomb,’ Well “Me Too’ just like the democrats did with the feminist women claiming they had been molested by republican men,” Me Too, They ranted.
If you read the coverage by the media, you can tell this IS a coordinated DEMOCRAT orchestrated political stunt. It will fail.
I certainly HOPE it fails.
Wish Trump could make a speech to nation detailing all the events over recent years to make it perfectly clear that the militant liberal left autocrats in the MSM, the current Socialist Dem Party and the seditious forces populating academia and the courts are responsible for inciting the violence, hate and racial resentment that is being maliciously inflicted on the American public to destroy law and order and undermine the very foundation of the country.
The above liberal hard left groups are organized manifestations of the earlier Weather Underground, SLA and SDS type anti govt anti American terrorists who promote, defend and justify anarchist actions like burning, looting and trashing of cities (Ferguson / Baltimore) and college campuses (Berkley) and the threatening mobs that show up to intimidate, attack and shout down any / all opposition voices.
It should be pointed out that it has not been Trump or Repubs or conservatives or tea party who have led, organized, funded, sympathized with or justified the lawless marauding anarchy that has always been a hallmark of the militant liberal socialist left.
