Package may have gone through Fla.
Previously, former President Barack Obama, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former CIA Director John O. Brennan, former Attorney General Eric Holder, liberal mega-donor George Soros, and U.S. Reps. Maxine Waters and Debbie Wasserman Schultz all were sent suspected pipe bombs. At a press conference yesterday, officials in New York would not discuss possible motives or details on how the packages found their way into the U.S. postal system. Nor would they say why none of the packages had detonated, but stressed they were still treating them as “live devices.” “As far as a hoax device, we’re not treating it that way,” said New York City police Commissioner James O’Neill. No one has been arrested or publicly identified as a suspect yet. U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, one of Trump’s most prominent and outspoken critics, has not received any suspicious packages, a spokeswoman told the Herald. She declined to elaborate on whether the senator has beefed up her security. No one else in Massachusetts has received bomblike packages, state police told the Herald, but law enforcement remain on alert. State police have a bomb team posted at the State House until further notice. The suspected pipe bombs all look similar and were sent in manila envelopes with six stamps. The envelopes all had the offices of Wasserman Schultz, a former Democratic National Committee chair, listed as the return address — though her name is misspelled in the same way on each. The package sent to Holder ended up at her offices two days ago after the delivery to the former attorney general’s Virginia home was unsuccessful. Law enforcement officials said the devices, containing timers and batteries, were not rigged like a boobytrapped package bomb that would explode upon opening. But the officials were still uncertain whether the devices were poorly designed or never intended to cause physical harm.
