THE BEAT GOES ON, AND GETS CURIOSER AND CURIOSER – AT 11:50 A.M. ET: Several new "bombs" have been discovered. It's nine so far, and, oddly, none has gone off. From Fox:
Former Vice President Joe Biden and actor Robert De Niro -- both prominent critics of the Trump administration -- were the targets of suspicious packages discovered Thursday, officials said, one day after several similar parcels were sent to the homes and businesses of various Democratic politicos on Wednesday.
The FBI, New Castle County, Del., police and postal inspectors were investigating the package addressed to Biden, law enforcement officials told Fox News, stressing the suspicious package investigation was the bureau's highest priority. The FBI was also investigating a second package addressed to Biden at a postal facility in Wilmington. Both packages were similar to the others that were received. The FBI later confirmed the packages were addessed to Biden and De Niro
The FBI Laboratory at Quantico, Va., is also engaged, beginning forensic analysis of some of the packages addressed to former President Barack Obama, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, liberal billionaire George Soros, former Attorney General Eric Holder, former CIA Director John Brennan and California Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters.
Pictures of the contents of the Brennan package appeared to show a pipe bomb, but it wasn't clear if the explosive was in working order, and several experts took to social media to note flaws in the design. The Brennan device was also wrapped with a spoof flag of the terror group ISIS that bore the Larry the Cable Guy catchphrase "Get 'Er Done." It wasn't clear if either the Biden or De Niro packages contained similar contents.
COMMENT: Ah yes, right before the election. And the caravan of "migrants" coming north from Central America? Right before the election. I don't believe in coincidences.
None of the "devices" has gone off, something almost unheard of. Looks like an amateur job. One Urgent Agenda reader calls it "performance art." The "device" delivered to CNN was hand carried. Why wasn't the carrier concerned about video surveillance?
No one knows who's sending the devices. But the disgraceful behavior of the liberal press, in trying to pin the blame on President Trump, is a new low in journalism. We'll see other new lows.
Will the case be solved? Former New York Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik says that he thinks it will be solved within a few days. I dunno. We once had a guy in New York who planted bombs around the city, and it took years to nab him. He was called the Mad Bomber. Turned out he had a grudge against the electric company.
We await facts, even though a good part of the media doesn't care about them.
