Law enforcement intercepts package of ricin mailed to Trump: report
2020-09-19
[NYPost]

The FBI and Secret Service are investigating a package containing the highly-toxic poison ricin that was mailed to President Trump last week, CNN is reporting.

The package was intercepted by law enforcement, the report said.

Two tests were done to confirm the presence of ricin in the package, law enforcement sources told the network.

It's likely the package never even reached the White House.

All mail for the White House is sorted and screened at an offsite facility, the network noted.

The package appears to have been sent from Canada, an official told the New York Times.

In 2018, a former sailor was arrested in Utah for allegedly sending envelopes containing the unprocessed source of ricin ‐ seeds from the castor plant ‐ to Trump at the White House and also to the Pentagon.

#12  ^ mail that is
loaded with Carlos Danger's musk
larded with Pierre Delecto's vanity
leaded with CornPop's ironic wisdom
lacerated by KamalToe's cacophonous cackle
lachrymose with the self-abasing tears of Princeton's president, Minneapolis's mayor, and Woke white waycists evewywheah

#11  Hmmm, maybe the COVID narrative is finishing and we will go back to mail that is all loaded with anthrax or Bill Clinton's DNA or something.

#10   Frankly with all the hate being whipped up over the past 4 years. I'm surprised it took this long.

Perhaps first reported?

Perhaps the first legit dangerous batch?

#2  Wonder why this Canadian idiot wanted to kill a secretary or clerk who works for the President?

Is he/she/it so STUPID as to think the Pres opens his own mail?
