to our protect these including former presidents you talked about the explosive device. he heard the director of the f.b.i. say repeatedly, he called it an and the current president ied and vice president, and think our agents, officers and analyst , explosive device. who not only investigate cyber and private financial crimes but provide that was a term world-class protection. they've done outstanding that he used here work here. today to describe the actions of this alleged serial bombing suspect also remarked that since tuesday, along with director ray, this and the devices that has been our number one focus of the agency to find he was putting together the perpetrators allegedly, according to the of these instances and charges that he is now facing bring them to justice. that could end up thank you. having him bend up to 60 years behind bars, if convicted. >> reporter: can you tell us along the lines of how fast this moved? >> each of the devices was being brought through what are total containment vehicles to our lab. we spoke with a witness who told us that they were coming siri autumn. he is alsoy we received some of them, from here, just across the street from this autozone that there were undercover police officers with binoculars, the first two we received were the devices that were sent to former president trained on a van obama and the d.c. package in this parking lot. minutes later he heard a flash bang that was sent to congresswoman waters.

, a device typically used the analysis began on that by police to startle and yesterday. later subdue a suspect. that is when he we were starting to receive information later saw police taking cesar sayoc away from him. over the course over the last 24-36 hours. >> reporter: it was found yesterday?go he allegedly used about those of a devices together, including batteries and wiring, they are things you can find at a store like this. we did see f.b.i. agents earlier going inside the store and conducting an investigation. they are being tightlipped about what, if anything they have discovered there. that van that has become the focus of this investigation now connected with cesar sayoc. you wouldn't miss it if you saw it driving around the streets of plantation.

and the lighter broward county area. we've seen reports across social media who are saying they have seen the van before , and clearly it sticks out. it has all of those political stickers of the president, the vice president, of course showing the owner of the van has very distinct bias against the mainstream media. this door, right now, remains closed as this can best occasion continues. >> you are not going to look at the van and be confused about cesar sayoc's political allegiances at all. that van was then covered with a tarp. the tarp flew off as they were taking it away to the f.b.i. miami field offices. you see those imagig there as it was being taken away. that van is being analyzed, just as the packages that cesar sayoc allegedly sent, are also not being analyzed. to recap what we just heard from the f.b.i. , the big break came

i think that was important to remember. and that this is an ongoing case. for example, one question that was an answer, where was he allegedly putting these devices together. was it in the back of the van, or at his mother's house where according to our reporting, he was living. that is another important question here. >> the direct quote from the f.b.i. director, we are not out of the woods yet. thank you very much, jeff, at the justice department as this news conference is held, the briefing, and the updates on the arrest of , charged with five federal crimes including illegal mailing of explosives and threatening a former president of the united states. it was set at that news conference that he faces up to 58 years in prison. we will see how this investigation plays out. it started monday when a device was found outside of the home of george soros. on the major democratic contributor.
