This pipe bomb stuff is going so unhinged and against the Trump's here is what I fear.

I believe that the GOP and Trump are so desperate to play the victims that they will engage someone to intentionally get caught trying to mail a fake pipe bomb so he can confess to being a left-winger trying to get sympathy for the Democrats. I just don't put anything past them at this point. Trump's unhinged tweets this early a.m. tells me they are in panic mode.

idea who it actually is. It was a little unusual the way Fox News behaved a couple of days ago. I still think they knew who Mollie Tibbets' suspect was days before the official announcement (see Pence all over it before the suspect was announced).

I know you don't mean the FBI...since the Kavanaugh "investigation", the Bureau has little credibility...

8. I don't believe that... FBI is not responsible for the hand-tying nature of that investigation.

Frankly, that is a RW meme. The Trump WH held all the cards in directing/limiting the Kavanaugh investigation. If you believe otherwise and hold such apparent contempt for the FBI, I DON'T know what to tell you except you are WRONG.

There is always information withheld from the public in order to filter out fakes and copycats.

9. Yeah, but don't you think the FBI would look into it a bit further than just want the person says?

Usually they look at their activities over the course of several years to try to figure out the motive. Seems that if they were a conservative in disguise that would be uncovered by an investigation.

And this person, who is willing to commit and confess to a serious crime, is going to have no family, no history, no acquaintances or former employers, who know anything about his past?
