FBI confirms suspicious package sent to Tom Steyer

Source: Reuters

WASHINGTON, Nov 2 (Reuters) - The FBI on Friday said it had recovered a suspicious package addressed to California billionaire Tom Steyer, a Democrat known for his ads calling for the impeachment of Republican President Donald Trump, exactly one week after federal authorities arrested Cesar Sayoc for mailing pipe bombs to Trump critics.

The FBI said on Twitter it recovered the package on Thursday night. Last Friday Steyer's office said a package addressed to him had been found at a post office outside of San Francisco. (Reporting by Lisa Lambert and Makini Brice Editing by Chizu Nomiyama)

In George Soroses mailbox, but not by the post office, then who delivered that bomb?

4. This story was later corrected; the package was in fact delivered by the USPS

Some thought originally that it was delivered by hand because the stamps were not cancelled. They later reported that the lack of cancellation was due to the soft irregular envelope not being able to pass through the automated cancelling machines.

by sending out stuff while he is in custody. The description/photo of the packages was well publicized. His attorney was making noises about this just the other day, after the one before this one was found.
