**Explosive Device Found Outside Clinton Home ** Trumper ?

Source: New York Times

An explosive device was found on Wednesday morning by a technician who screens mail for Bill and Hillary Clinton, who live in a suburb of New York City, a law enforcement official said.

The official said the device was similar to one found at the home of billionaire philanthropist George Soros on Monday. It was not immediately clear where the device was found.

Mr. Soros's home is also 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.

Trump has been trying for 3 years solid to get his rally attendees to commit violence. He wants them to start killing liberals.

Also from the article:

A similar device was also sent to the office of former President Barack Obama.

The official said the devices were similar to one found at the home of the billionaire philanthropist George Soros on Monday.

It was not immediately clear where the devices sent to the Clinton and Obama offices were found.


Trump needs to cool it with the hate speech before someone gets killed or injured.

.... in the cases of the Obamas and the Clintons, the devices never got anywhere near their residences. They were never in danger of receiving the device's.

. **Explosive Device Found Outside Clinton Home ** Trumper ?" ( a little misleading?)

Actual New York Times headline:
"Explosive Devices Found in Mail Sent to Hillary Clinton and Obama"

The North Pole is outside the Clinton's home.

From the OP' s own link:

"The protectees did not receive the packages nor were they at risk of receiving them.”

Bottom line? The Secret Service is doing their job admirably.
