I'm surprised they weren't franked...BTW none of the envelopes have a postmark, and none of the stamps are canceled.
The CNN one was delivered by courier not the USPS despite the stamps. Not sure on others. They say at least 10 were mailed through FL.
That's not an official determination.
CNN is spinning wildly to "debunk" the "theories" because people are rightly suspicious.
While I suspect this, I will not leap to conclusions. I never have in the past and certainly will not now. I don't think that this will help their cause though. It was just too obviously not a threat and too "conveniently" timed.
A source in the investigation (not for attribution) is telling me that Jim Acosta keeps bugging the NYPD and FBI to find out if there's one addressed to him. I think he feels slighted.

Your guess is as good as anyone else's at this point, the story keeps changing.

They were $6 clocks from Amazon with no alarm function
I' ve never heard of a mail bomb having a timer. They are always designed to explode when opened. The timer is ludicrous ... and self-defeating.

I think it's safe to say that it was 100%, ... a Political Propaganda stunt.

Of course it is. 10 "bombs" and none of them went off? The media coverage has been remarkably on point from the beginning, in some cases the same phrases are used. Almost like they were ready to go with this right away but that can't be...I'm sure it's just a coincidence.

Makes sense.
If the faux bomber is a righty he’s doing The Resistance a huge favor because it’s been one epic narrative fail after another ever since the Kavanaugh debacle. They certainly wasted no time in blaming Trump—even before all the facts are in. Pretty reprehensible even by the media’s low standards.
And now the lock-step media has something to harp about since there’s no easy way to spin the caravan crisis.

since they used a timer without an alarm, its either that or they were incredibly stupid.....

But does he know where he lives? I'm amazed he was able to put even these bombs together. Had help from GuilleZ or someone. I expect.

Nope. If I made them they'd go off.
The van certainly looks like a cartoon version of how leftists think Trump supporters would decorate their vans... Seriously, this guy seems like a caricature. Nonfunctioning brain along with nonfunctional bombs.
the bombs look "cartoonish" - or like something on a movie set
I have video of a DEMOCRAT bragging that they "pay mentally ill people to do shit".
Yep. Typical Trumpanzee
