Three Explosive Devices Sent to Clintons, Obama and CNN Offices
Explosive devices were sent to former President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, as well as to CNN's offices in New York, sparking an intense investigation on Wednesday into whether a bomber is going after targets that have often been the subject of right-wing ire.
A law enforcement official said the three devices were similar to one found Monday at the home of George Soros, the billionaire philanthropist and liberal donor.
[...] The device sent to CNN was contained in a manila envelope addressed to John Brennan, who was the C.I.A. director in the Obama administration and is a harsh critic of Mr. Trump. The president revoked Mr. Brennan's security clearance in what was seen as an act of retribution. The return address bore the name of Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a Florida congresswoman who formerly headed the Democratic National Committee.
In a statement, the White House condemned "the attempted violent attacks."
Update 1: The explosive devices have been described as pipe bombs. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo says that a device was also sent to his office.
Update 2:
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's spokesman has identified the device sent to his office, originally believed to be suspicious, as a thumb drive containing files on the far right group Proud Boys. It does not appear to be related to the explosive devices.
[...] Another suspicious package has been intercepted at a Congressional mail screening facility in Capitol Heights, Maryland, according to CNN. [...] ABC News reported the package was addressed to Rep. Maxine Waters, a California Democrat.

Fake News @CNN [twitter.com] made so much money off the 1st. Iraq War, they call it Gulf War. Bush Original sent his Ambassador. He sent April Glaspie. Or Glasspie. She told Saddam Hussein, "oh, it's none of our business, we don't care what you do in Kuwait." She lied. A lot of people died. CNN filmed it -- they called it embedding, they got in bed with our soldiers -- and became very very rich. Although, not as rich as me.
Crooked H & Obama overthrough the Government in Ukraine. With the Polish Snipers coming in & shooting people until everybody totally lost their minds. They had a revolution. And the President of Ukraine -- big big client of Paul Manafort, Paul did tremendous work for him -- ran to Russia. That guy was running for his life. And he's very lucky that he made it out of there alive.
They overthrough my former tenant, Colonel Qaddhafi of Libya. To turn it into an ISIS country. Because they founded ISIS. They LITERALLY founded ISIS. Colonel Q rented one of my estates, they killed him. Stabbed in the ass, death by ass stabbing. And Crooked H laughed about that one. youtu.be/mlz3-OzcExI [youtu.be]
They overthrough so many governments, so many dictators in Middle East. They call it, Arab Spring. Because it was so many countries, too many to mention! And a lot of those countries turned Muslim when that happened. They went to Muslim Brotherhood. Or ISIS. Which, as I said, that one's a Hillary & Obama number.
Kill List, Obama had a very long Kill List. Possibly bigger, longer than any President that came before. He didn't call it Kill List, he called it Disposition Matrix. Nice name, sounds like math homework, right? I call it what it is, and what we need. And he sent so many Drones it's not funny. Killing Americans, killing many people. On all sides.
These are horrible people. But, the folks attacking them are horrible too. If I had an Attorney General I'd tell him, have the @FBI [twitter.com] look into this very carefully. Tell them to do a VERY THOROUGH investigation. Like the 7 investigations they did on Judge Bart Kavanaugh (now Ass. Justice, congrats Bart!). @VP [twitter.com] Pence condemns these attacks, these attempted attacks. Nice way to say, FAILED. I love the way Mike said it, beautiful words there. And I agree 100%. Believe me, we're doing everything we can to find out who did these horrible attacks. And bring them to justice. Possibly to Justice Kavanaugh. Or to one of my wonderful Judges. Who will be very very tough on them. And on anyone who tries to hurt our precious Dems & our VERY SPECIAL Fake News Media! twitter.com/VP/status/1055115436361166849 [twitter.com]
