You may have heard by now of multiple devices, likely related/similar to that sent to George Soros, that were discovered near the Clintons’ house and Obama’s office. October surprise?
Here is the Secret Service statement.

I agree with Philippe. It is also on all the morons who circulated Hillary’s home address online. I know that it is “findable,” however advertising it made it so much easier to access.
It is not clear what “in the vicinity” means. (Probably for the best.) According to the statement this was a routine screening.

CNN also targeted.
‘Potential Explosive Devices’ Sent to Obama, the Clintons, and CNN
Senior law-enforcement officials confirmed the bomb scares, including a ‘pipe with wires’ mailed to CNN‘s headquarters in New York.
U.S Secret Service agents intercepted potential explosive devices on Wednesday that were addressed to president Barack Obama and former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, the agency confirmed.
As federal agents investigated the packages, authorities in New York dispatched bomb squads to the Time Warner Center in midtown Manhattan, home to CNN’s headquarters, where the building was being evacuated. Senior law-enforcement officials confirmed to The Daily Beast that a suspicious device—described as a “pipe with wires”—was found in the mailroom.
A suspicious package addressed to to the Clinton’s suburban home in New York late Tuesday night and a separate parcel addressed to the Obama’s residence in Washington, D.C., were both intercepted Wednesday morning at designated checkpoints, authorities confirmed.
I think “in the vicinity” refers to location where Secret Service screens all Clinton mail headed for their home. As I understand it, the package was specifically addressed to Hillary with no mention of Bill. Also, the package sent to CNN was addressed to former CIA Director, John Brennan, a frequent target of Donald Trump, who sometimes comments on CNN.

Correct. Mail is screened at a separate location. Same for the Obamas. Yes, the CNN packet was addressed to Brennan with his name misspelled.

We should all be very grateful that none of the intended targets were injured, maimed, or killed. I am old enough to remember the Unabomber and the terror he unleashed. Unfortunately, I don’t expect any change in Trump’s deplorable rhetoric and behavior.

I also remember the Unabomber. A man in a nearby town was killed by one of his bombs.
Neither do I expect any change in Trump’s rhetoric or behavior.

Also, I should mention it’s a blessing that none of the devices went off b4 reaching targets, perhaps gravely injuring postal workers, Secret Service and others. Think of the number of people put in harm’s way by this conduct. I know the perp simply doesn’t care.

News bulletin for people speculating that the person who sent the bombs was trying to help the Democrats: LAW ENFORCEMENT REPORTS THAT THE BOMBS WERE FUNCTIONAL. Assassinating Democratic leaders to win back the House is a helluva strategy.
