Two envelopes suspected of containing ricin poison, one addressed to Defense Secretary James Mattis, were identified in the Pentagon's Central Processing Center, according to a U.S. official.

Later on Monday, the Secret Service reported it had also intercepted a suspicious envelope addressed to President Donald Trump, though that envelope was not received, nor did it enter the White House.


Somebody is about to be in deep doo doo,

Seems to happen to every president. Have people gotten caught before or is this another Russian opp to stoke the divisiveness that Americans are entrenched in?

Never knew

Damn, you seem to be one of the most concerned people around here, esp. with your obsession with "liberal" concern, yet you're simultaneously one of the most uninformed, know-nothings at the same time.

Maybe educate yourself before you pontificate any more.....

That’s why my thought is it’s either someone crazy or someone with another motive. It is very hard to imagine someone really thought mailing something like this would be effective in killing their target.

You have no idea who did this and neither does anyone else.

Color me shocked that conservatives whine about innocent until proven guilty and then jump to conclusions based on far less.

You're right, it probably a pro-Trump person trying to kill Trump and Mattis.

I'd probably avoid using that term if I were you; ever since Trump pushed it bigly, I suspect for most people it evokes images of plans written in finger paint.

While I don't officially endorse this kind of thing, not too broken up about one of those letters.

Someone probably ground up a castor bean.
