Explosive Devices Found in Mail Sent to Hillary Clinton and Obama

By William K. Rashbaum
Oct. 24, 2018


Two explosive devices were found in mail sent to former President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the Secret Service said Wednesday.

The devices were similar to one found on Monday at the home of the billionaire philanthropist George Soros, two law enforcement officials said.

In a statement, the Secret Service said it “has intercepted two suspicious packages addressed to Secret Service protectees,” who were identified as Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Obama.

The device addressed to Mrs. Clinton in Westchester County was found late on Tuesday by a Secret Service employee who screens mail for her , the statement said. The package addressed to Mr. Obama was intercepted by Secret Service personnel in Washington, D.C. early on Wednesday.

“The packages were immediately identified during routine mail screening procedures as potential explosive devices and were appropriately handled as such,” the statement said. “The protectees did not receive the packages nor were they at risk of receiving them.”

The statement said the agency had “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.”

Mr. Soros’s home is in a suburb north of New York City. That device was constructed from a length of pipe about six inches long filled with explosive powder, and it was “proactively detonated” by bomb squad technicians, according to one of the officials, all of whom were briefed on the investigation.

The motive of the would-be Soros bomber or bombers remained unclear, one of the officials said, adding that there had not yet been any claim of responsibility.

Mr. Soros, who made his fortune in finance and is now a full-time philanthropist and political activist, is often a subject of the ire of right-wing groups. In recent days, some have falsely speculated that he funded a caravan of migrants moving north in Mexico.

It is unclear where exactly the package addressed to Mrs. Clinton was sent. The Clintons and his wife have a home in Chappaqua, a suburb of New York City. They bought their 11-room Dutch Colonial home in the affluent enclave in 1999 for $1.7 million as Mr. Clinton ended his tenure in the White House. The decision to settle in Westchester County came as Mrs. Clinton was preparing to run for Senate from New York.

Facing significant debts from the legal troubles that dogged Mr. Clinton’s presidency, the Clinton’s were able to buy the house after their chief fund-raiser, Terry McAuliffe, personally secured a loan.

IF true, it's completely understandable how a person who loves the United States of America would want to murder traitors to the country. However, I do not condone heroic acts of patriotism of this nature, no matter how understandable and sympathetic they are...

GFEJunkie says they sent it to themselves. Nice thought. Sure it wasn’t ANTIFA?

I assume that’ll be next.

Come on PATRIOTS, show your true colors, I await the glib comments in this extremely dangerous moment in America.

The dimms are the party of sedition...Crooked Hillary and Odumbo are not members of the government, so that CANNOT be sedition. Sedition is conduct or speech inciting people to rebel against the authority of a state. Sounds like the dimms to me!

This person or persons who sent bombs to Crooked Hillary and Odumbo should be arrested, convicted and fined $25 per incident. His or her heart was in the right place,even if illegal. Completely understandable...

HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!HA! HA! HA!
Let's see - looks like the major players got one except - Bernie. Hmmm - his supporters are really loony - I'm gonna go with a Bernie supporter.

7:10 AM PT -- The FBI now says a bomb was also sent to The White House and the device contained "projectiles." And, the FBI now says all of the bombs are connected ... presumably to the same perpetrator(s).

It shouldn't take long to clear this all up.

Exactly, IBH. As reported in post 5 above.

Could our nation be under attack from foreign sources ?

I assume that’s great reason for us to be name calling, right Marshall?

Hopefully, the FBI will as thoroughly investigate these tragedies as they did trying to find out Trump didn't collude with the Russians either.

Perhaps they'll be done by October 2020.

The package addressed to Mr. Obama was intercepted early on Wednesday by Secret Service personnel in Washington, who screened mail for the White House.
