All 4 explosive devices apparently linked

Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) were sent to Hillary and Bill Clinton, former president Obama, George Soros, and CNN in Manhattan's Time Warner Center. Officials believe the 4 IEDs are linked.

The U.S. Secret Service intercepted the devices addressed to Clinton's Chappaqua home and to Obama in Washington, D.C. They never made it to their homes but were found off-site.

Hillary Clinton was in Florida at a fundraiser at this time but Bill was home when the device was found by the Secret Service.

Another suspicious package was addressed to ex-CIA chief and leftist John Brennan, whose new job at MSNBC consists entirely of trashing the Trump administration. [MSNBC stands for: "Morons Speaking Nothing But Communism."]

Columbus Circle was shut down and New York City's emergency alert system instructed New Yorkers at 11:10 a.m. that anyone in the vicinity of Columbus and Eighth Avenues to immediately shelter in place.

Officials say that at least three of the packages--those addressed to Soros, Obama and Clinton--had a manila outer packaging and were stamped. Also, they appear to be working explosives but more analysis of the devices is needed. For now, we know the devices appear to be crude.

As this is being written, it was just now learned that one device was just found at the office of Eric Holder, but more information will be forthcoming.

The questions that come to mind are: were these connected by one individual or group? Was this perpetrated by the alt-right because they're crazy? Were they sent by the left in order to inspire the Democratic vote, and/or take the focus off the caravan of illegal migrants? Why didn't they go off--was that the intention?

According to officials, the signature on all three packages [to Clinton, Obama and Soros] is nearly the same. Former DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz's [aka: Debbie Downer] Florida office also received a suspicious package, which is now under investigation.

"The packages were immediately identified during routine mail screening procedures as potential explosive devices and were appropriately handled as such," Secret Service explained in a statement. "Both packages were intercepted prior to being delivered to their intended location. The protectees did not receive the packages nor were they at risk of receiving them."

The Secret Service says it has 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.

In the Soros case, one of his employees came across the package, put it in a wooded area and called police, who then alerted the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Firearms and Explosives. The device contained explosive powder; it was detonated as a precaution.

There have been no injuries resulting from these incidents.

President Trump was briefed on the situation and the White house said in a statement:

"We condemn the attempted violent attacks recently made against President Obama, President Clinton, Secretary Clinton, and other public figures. These terrorizing acts are despicable, and anyone responsible will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. The United States Secret Service and other law enforcement agencies are investigating and will take all appropriate actions to protect anyone threatened by these cowards."

Several streets in Manhattan remain closed as of this posting.
