Several mail bombs were sent to Democrat leaders Wednesday–none of which detonated.
The Secret Service announced that suspicious packages were sent to Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
George Soros, NY Governor Cuomo, former AG Eric Holder, Rep. Maxine Waters were also sent mail bombs.
The return address name on the suspicious packages sent to Clinton, Obama, Holder and Maxine Waters belonged to Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
None of the bombs detonated which is a “huge clue” according to federal agents working on a theory.
Investigative journalist Adam Housley spoke to federal agents who said the fact that none of the bombs detonated is more significant that people may realize.
HOUSLEY: Federal agents say they are working on the theory that it’s one group, or one person. Also…the fact that none of them detonated is more significant than people may realize. I am told that’s a “huge clue”.

HOUSLEY: Also being investigated is whether all the packages came from expedited carriers.
Also being investigated…and this is kinda obvious…whether all packages came from expedited carriers. It would make sense why they all arrived around the same time and stamps may have not been cancelled.

Is this a dry run? Distraction? A few examples of theories feds are talking about.
The fact that the devices were crude of course is a clue, but again…there are other variables that you may not think of. All this has to be taken into consideration by law enforcement. Dry Run? Hoax? True intention? Distraction for something else? Just a few examples I'm told

Not insinuating this is a false flag, just asking questions journalists are supposed to ask.
To clarify to anyone trying to politicize: I am insinuating nothing. Just reporting actual facts. Imagine that. Actual possibilities and what investigators are doing. Nowhere did I say false flag. It is one possibility tho, as is dry run. Get it?

Investigative reporter, Paul Sperry said it perfectly:
6 bombs sent to Democrats. 0 go off. All crudely made pipe bombs and conspicuously obvious explosives, and all easily screened and discovered. Stunt seems designed for maximum political/media optics, not maximum damage

The pipe bombs might as well have had "ACME" stamped on them. Totally telegraphed by packaging (excessive postage, taping), amateur packing of gun powder (bad end caps, etc) pic.twitter.com/rYfOq9UtKP

Whoever is responsible for this should be prosecuted.
A TGP reader sent us this: If the FBI tells us there are no forensics to track and yet the bombs were amateurish, this is a set up. Someone who makes amateur bombs can’t professionally scrub any sort of leads away from the devices and packages.
First of all, John Brennan is a contributor for NBC, not CNN.
If you’re smart enough to make a bomb, you’re smart enough to pay attention to details like that.
This is looking more unreliable every minute.
None of the packages were delivered to anyone’s residence. It’s a lie.
