    We heard of a lot of work being done in South Florida and that there was a lot of progress made to follow up on a specific individual, but CNN is reporting that there is no further information known at this point.

    These are the targets of the known packages. The investigation continues in terms of whether there are more packages or more targets, but there is a strong chance that this person acted alone given that the FBI would likely not make their move and risk spooking any other operatives.

    Let me be the first to accurately shine the light on this: The person/persons involved are paid actors.

    I said actor, not drunk. But then again, he used to act, didn't he?

    Oh, slap my face! I did not just say that, did I? Sorry folks.

    No wait, maybe it's Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity playing themselves; Dumb and Dumber.

    Tracking them down took a little bit longer then I thought it would. If you send something like a bomb through the mail, they’re going to get you PDQ. I read on Fox, that there is a lot of DNA on the bombs and that it is coming out of Opa-locka postal facility.

    FBI was actively covering this van while CBS was covering. The reporter claimed to have seen some derogatory comments about Hillary Clinton plastered on the back.

    The "took a bit longer" is almost certainly a reflection of the FBI wanting to track the individual and make sure that they could not identify any other co-conspirators.

    Are they terrorist attacks if they are designed to not explode, but still look like pipe bombs?
