Ricin envelopes sent to Mattis, CoNOp, & Trump

Only copied the first part but it was updated to confirm t was all ricin

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.



The envelopes found at the Pentagon’s mail center were addressed to Mattis and Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson, the official said. Those pieces of mail, flagged as part of the Pentagon’s normal processing procedures, are being examined to determine whether they test positive for the deadly poison, the FBI said in a statement.

The Secret Service said it’s also cooperating with law enforcement to fully investigate the suspicious envelope addressed to the president.

“Further, all threats directed towards the President, or any Secret Service protectee, are treated seriously and fully investigated,” the Secret Service said in a statement.

Meanwhile, all U.S. Postal Service mail received at the Pentagon facility Monday is under quarantine, the Department of Defense said. That mail poses no threat to Pentagon personnel, the department added.

The Pentagon’s Central Processing Center is located on the Pentagon compound in Arlington, Virginia, but not directly attached to the main building. The envelopes did not enter the Pentagon

It wasn't ricin, it was castor seeds. Ricin is made from castor seeds, yes, but they are only dangerous in unprocessed form if you eat them.

It's like arresting someone for possession of opium because they have a poppy seed bagel. :jerkit


I agree that the message is clear and dude should be arrested, but it's not like anyone's life was in danger.

It’s like arresting him for sending a crockpot and nails and all that shit to them. :lolthumb

However as you said still needs to be arrested, charged, and treated/prosecuted.
