It’s all so unfair to Trump

Suspect arrested.

Federal authorities made an arrest on Friday in connection with the nationwide bombing campaign against outspoken critics of President Trump, a significant breakthrough in a case that has gripped the country in the days leading up to the midterm elections.

The arrest came only hours after the mysterious spate of pipe bombs spread further as federal authorities said on Friday morning that they had found two more of the explosive devices: one addressed to Senator Cory Booker and the other to James R. Clapper Jr., the former director of national intelligence.

The package addressed to Mr. Clapper was meant to be delivered to the New York offices of CNN, where he works as an analyst, but was intercepted at a mail facility in Midtown Manhattan, police officials in New York City said. The package addressed to Mr. Booker, a New Jersey Democrat, was found in Florida, which two people briefed on the matter have said has become a focus of the intense, nationwide investigation into the bombs.

Speaking on CNN on Friday, Mr. Clapper said he was not surprised that a device had been sent to him. He has been a frequent critic of President Trump, a similarity shared with everyone whose names have appeared on the packages discovered so far.

“This is definitely domestic terrorism,” Mr. Clapper said. “Anyone who has in any way been a critic, publicly been a critic of President Trump, needs to be on an extra alert.”

That’s a lot of people.

Meanwhile Trump has been complaining about what a nuisance all this is for him.

Goddam bombs, hindering Republicans! It’s so unfair!

Before that he was whining about Twitter. Yes, really, about Twitter.

    Republicans are doing so well in early voting

    If the votes are secret, and aren’t counted until all votes are cast, how could he know that?

    WaM — if you have to ask, you don’t want to know.

    I don’t see what Trump is complaining about — the alleged bomber looks like one of his biggest supporters!

    WaM, I’m sure Donnie’s dictator mates have told him all about vote stuffing and what a lark it is.

    Wasn’t Trump a blimp a few months ago?
