It’s like the early 2000’s all over again:
The U.S. Secret Service has intercepted a letter addressed to President Barack Obama that contained a “suspicious substance.”
A law enforcement official said the letter is very similar to one recently mailed to Mississippi Republican Sen. Roger Wicker. That letter tested positive Tuesday for poisonous ricin.
The official requested anonymity because the official was not authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation.
There are reports that they have a suspect in the mailings to Sen. Wicker this week. If the two are connected then it appears we don’t have some partisan hack engaging in this terrorism, but rather somebody out to just get our elected officials.
The only other thing I can think of is that Wicker was one of the 16 Republicans that voted to end the filibuster on extended background checks last week, so there could be that connection.
