Why am I suspicious about the package sent to the WH is a diversion?

We all know that any package sent to the WH would be intercepted and not get thru. But packages sent to others might not be intercepted, especially the one sent to Time Warner.

Nevertheless, these are serious attacks upon all of us. I hope the ATF and FBI get to the bottom of this very soon.

Another pipe bomb addressed to White House intercepted

From CNN's Evan Perez and Mary Kay Mallonee

CNN has learned another suspicious package with a device addressed to the White House was intercepted at Joint Base Bolling in Washington, DC.

According to a law enforcement official, the device was similar to one sent to Soros' home, and similar to ones sent to homes of Clintons and Obamas.

The devices appear to be rudimentary but functional.

The White House-addressed device also contained projectiles.

Another law enforcement source said “There is a strong suspicion” the two packages intercepted last night and this morning are connected to the package targeting George Soros.

The old way of reporters was "Accuracy, accuracy, accuracy"--the new way is "Be first even if it means being wrong!"
