I mean for all the ballyhoo and hysteria with the initial bombs you'd think there'd be some coverage.
But nothing on Monday's CNN bomb and nothing on this today.
Why, because if they did they'd have to have a pretty good answer as to how the alleged bomber, who has been in custody for over a week now, managed to mail a bomb while he was in custody.
Monday's bomb to CNN I could almost see beimg mailed before the arrest. But too much time has passed now for this to have been Sayoc.
And then that might raise other questions.
About sketchy DNA. About all those fresh decals on his van.
About assembling all those bombs in his van.
About how a man with nearly no visible means of support manages to hand deliver, or have a local courier hand deliver, several of those packages in New York.
But nevermind all that. As Pastorius pointed out a week ago "The bigger the lie, the more the very obvious offense of the lie is telling you just to shut the fuck up and stay out of the way."
FBI: Another suspicious package addressed to political activist Tom Steyer intercepted
The FBI confirmed on Friday that a package addressed to prominent Democratic donor Tom Steyer has been recovered in California and is similar to more than a dozen recent mailings containing a pipe bomb.
It was the second such package addressed to Steyer that has been intercepted. The latest was recovered Thursday night in California, the FBI said on Twitter, but did not elaborate. It's unclear when and where the package was mailed.
Steyer, a billionaire hedge fund manager, has spent millions on a campaign calling for the impeachment of President Donald Trump.
NextGen America, Steyer’s political advocacy group, issued a statement confirming that “a suspicious packaged mailed to Tom Steyer was intercepted at a mail facility" in Burlingame, Calif., the San Francisco suburb where he is based.
A Florida man, Cesar Sayoc, faces five federal charges in connection with the mailing of 15 packages containing explosive devices last week to former Democratic presidents, officials and activists, as well as CNN.
None of the packages detonated and there were no injuries.
Prosecutors said evidence shows Sayoc, who was arrested last week, began planning the attacks as early as mid-July while he was living in the Miami area in his white van, which is covered with images of Trump and posters critical of top Democrats and the media.
Sayoc, 56, was arraigned on Friday in Miami. A federal judge ordered his transfer to New York for trial.

It struck me as odd from the outset when the white van was described as 'covered with stickers' - but only on the windows, not on the body, where most people place them. Just neat props, easily applied and removed?
Curiouser and curiouser.
