11:05 pm
agencies that were working on this and also we learned that. we still don't know what the motive was the f.b.i. has explicitly said we don't know what was pushing this guy to send out these packages bombs and we also know that the f.b.i. were not treating these as hoax bombs they believe that they were actually meant to detonate now these devices are very small if you were holding one you would prosecute kill or injure you but they were not big enough to bring down an entire building or an entire block so the f.b.i. was taking this seriously treating it as terrorism and it was interesting to note the show of unity that these law enforcement agencies and intelligence agencies had at this press conferences with jeff sessions the attorney general having it off saying that this is a law and order administration and this is a lesson to anyone of any political persuasion that we will pursue you and prosecute you within the forest extent of the law. do we know going by the evidence

related to this attack now as attorney general or jeff sessions or was why the alleged bomber targeted democrats and he answered i don't know he appeared to be partisan how significant an admission was that from the nation's top investigator. you know this was a pretty interesting twist especially given that as we've mentioned these midterm elections are coming up very very soon and this is really thrown a wrench in to the campaigns that have been going out it was very clear that this man was partisan of some sort first in the book deliberate targeting of high profile democratic politicians and operatives and then when we saw the van that this man allegedly owns that is just plastered with pro trump an anti-democratic and anti media type bumper stickers it does in fact look like that this man is very much
