Court papers: Woman wrote ‘give up’ in ricin note to Trump
[NewsNationNow] A Canadian woman accused of mailing a package containing ricin to the White House included a threatening letter in which she told President Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
to "give up and remove your application for this election," according to court papers filed Tuesday.

Pascale Ferrier, of Quebec, was arrested Sunday at the New York-Canada border and is due to make her first court appearance Tuesday afternoon in federal court in Buffalo, New York. She faces a charge of threatening the president.

The envelope containing the toxic substance and the threatening letter was addressed to the White House but intercepted at a mail sorting facility on Friday. The package, postmarked from Canada, included a letter in which she referred to Trump as "The Ugly Tyrant Clown" and directed him to "give up and remove your application for this election," according to an FBI affidavit filed in the case.

"So I made a ’special gift’ for you to make a decision. This gift is in this letter," she wrote, according to the affidavit. "If it doesn’t work, I’ll find better recipe for another poison, or I might use my gun when I’ll be able to come."

Ferrier appeared in court briefly Tuesday and U.S. Magistrate Judge H. Kenneth Schroeder Jr. entered a not-guilty plea on her behalf. Ferrier, who wore a tan jail jumpsuit, had her hands in cuffs and a chain around her waist. A blue mask covered much of her face as she spoke only briefly to answer the judge’s questions.

Through an interpreter and her attorney, she also asked for an identity hearing — which would compel the government to prove that she is indeed the person for whom the arrest warrant was issued — and a probable cause hearing for the government to prove there is sufficient cause to proceed in the case. The judge ordered her held without bail.

Her attorney, Fonda Kubiak, said Ferrier was exercising her rights to those hearings, which were scheduled for Monday.

"She has a presumption of innocence and that’ll be pursued further after today," Kubiak said outside the courthouse.

During the investigation, the FBI discovered that six additional similar letters appeared to have been received in Texas in September and also had stamps indicating that they’d been mailed from Canada, according to court papers.

Those letters "contained similar language" to the letter that was sent to Trump and were sent to people affiliated with facilities where Ferrier had been placed in durance vile
... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not...
in 2019.

Investigators also matched Ferrier’s fingerprints from four of the letters, the complaint said.
“The person whose fingerprints match this set found on the letters is the one for whom this arrest warrant is issued. According to information on file, her name is Pascale Ferrier.”
In Facebook and Twitter posts in September, Ferrier also wrote "#killTrump" and used similar wording as she did in the letter, calling him an "Ugly Clown Tyrant," according to the document.

When she was arrested Sunday while trying to enter a border crossing in Buffalo, Ferrier told Customs and Border Patrol agents that she was "wanted by the FBI for the ricin letters," the complaint said. Officers found a loaded gun in her waistband and said she was also carrying a knife.

Ferrier was booked into the Hidalgo County jail in March of 2019 on two charges of unlawfully carrying a weapon and one charge of tampering with government records, according to online jail records.
See how dangerous it is to believe all the vicious nonsense written about America in the international press.
Pascale is listed as living in Quebec, and was released in May of last year. The records state the charges against her were ordered dismissed.

Ferrier immigrated to Canada from La Belle France and became a Canadian citizen in 2015, according to her Facebook profile.
Part of the great wave of French émigrés fleeing the high tax nonsense and increased criminality in France at that time.
Justin Taylor, a cousin in Texas, confirmed she was originally from La Belle France. He said she has extended family in Texas and was looking at possibly moving there after driving to Texas in her RV.
That’s one plan shot to shit, as they say in their colourful Texas idiom.
Her called her arrest very surprising. "A very nice lady, very warm and kind," Taylor said.

who is originally from La Belle France, but became a Canadian citizen in 2015, according to Canadian media. Sources tell Rooters she retains dual French-Canadian citizenship. She was living in the Canadian province of Quebec.

In March 2019, she was arrested in Texas for unlawfully carrying a weapon and using a fake driver's licence, according to jail records. She was deported to Canada after officials found she had overstayed her visa and committed a crime while in the US, according to the New York Times

US Customs and Border Protection officers found a gun, knife and ammunition in her car at the time of her arrest.

#2 Trump should thank this french sounding murderous foreign progressive for helping his re-election campaign (with BLM and biden's dodgy teleprompter).

Although she's probably been released without bail.

#3  This woman must want to be locked up for a long time.

Maybe she misses her chums from a previous stint in prison. Or maybe she is just nuts.
