What this most likely means is that something set off a bioweapons detector - which give a lot of false positives by design - flagging something for further testing. Two people in the mail room were probably in contact with the bag, and are under observation. In other words, probably nothing. It's like someone smelling smoke and calling the fire department, and the media reporting it as "Building evacuated because of reported fire. Several employees at risk for third degree burns." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the employees had gotten a whiff of Sarin they would only need to be observed for about 10 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it could be that. Or Facebook was preparing something really big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Gal Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 This is the WaPo article referred to in the first tweet. Here is a RedState article pointing out what nonsense that WaPo article is: The CIA Hits The Panic Button Over Joseph Mifsud As Barr’s Investigation Moves Ahead </snip> If Mifsud was a suspected Russian agent, then allowing him the access to the venues where he regularly appeared is a scandal of epic proportions. The best interpretation of this article is that the CIA knows Mifsud’s exposure as an agent of a Western intelligence agency is going to happen. Then they are going to be left to explain how bogus information fed to Papadopoulos by a friendly intelligence agency was used to bolster the case for a special counsel to investigate a sitting president. There probably isn’t a real good explanation beyond what is here in the article, which is “well, we thought he looked fishy” and hoping that no one notices the very real coincidences that connect Mifsud and friendly intelligence agencies. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deranged Rhino Posted July 2, 2019 Author Share Posted July 2, 2019 Pence was just recalled to the White House for an emergency situation, no details. He was aboard Air Force 2 and the flight was diverted back to DC -- so it must be something... more to come. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
