Narrow down who may be responsible for this, its still a very, very big area with a huge population. and it doesnt preclude the possibility of somebody driving into the area, dropping the packages off and then leaving. but there have been bomb sniffing dogs here yesterday. there are federal agents here right now. and theyre trying to get to as much information on the lead that they have, which is -- at least we know some of the packages made their way through the sorting facility here in opa loc...

The individual was identified really within an hour i think. and then of course local law enforcement here in south florida is clab blating with the fbi trying to figure out what is the issue with these explosives and what their connection might be to our area here it is unfortunate that south florida is getting so much attention for this because this is such sad chapter and such a sad time for our countrys politics. but yes, our law enforcement officials are fully engaged and we should all be v...

Down to quantico at the fbi facility there. as you point out, this is the 12th package that shorts have found in the last few days. this at a postal facility because the postal workers were doing exactly what we hoped that they would do. they were being cautious and they were alert. they saw something that looked suspicious. we suspect that it is very similar in the packaging that we have seen before. meaning the same kind of material, the same kind of stamps. and this one with similar return ad...

That was sent originally. >> that is a good question and one that we are still trying to get our arms around. we dont know at this point whether or not the packages that have been discovered today and we first learned about that package found in florida addressed to cory booker, to an address in camden, new jersey. we first learned about that a little bit after 8:00 a.m. this morning. and then after that, we started to get reports that the nypd was heading towards this mail facility here in manh...
