Alleged pro-Trump mail bomber Cesar Sayoc pleaded guilty in a brief proceeding in Manhattan federal court on Thursday to charges linked to a series of explosive packages that were mailed last year to former President Barack Obama and other prominent Democrats.
Sayoc, 57, of Aventura, Fla., faces up to life in prison after admitting to 68 counts charging him with using a weapon of mass destruction, threats, transporting and mailing explosives and carrying an explosive device during commission of a felony.
He cried, said he knew what he did was wrong, and told U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff he knew there was a risk his pipe bombs would explode but he didnt design them to injure people ...
The envelopes had return addresses in the name of Debbie Wasserman Shultz a Democratic party leader from Florida -- and were mailed to home and office addresses. Some were returned, some were delivered, some were intercepted at postal facilities, and none exploded.

(34,139 posts)I call bull shit on this claim! He just doesn't want to admit he was so incompetent not one of his bombs blew up and pretty much none of them would have.
No one makes a bunch of bombs and sends them off to multiple public figures without intending to hurt someone.
Lock him up so we never have to hear his name again.
