There's no terrorist attack to defend because there was no terrorist attack but that of the Democrats behind this.
Anyone who believes this farce is a fool, plain and simple.
1) Most or all of the packages were never mailed or marked for mail yet made it to their destinations.
2) "What's a phrase white people say? Get 'er done? Yeah, put that on there, lol."
3) Timed delivery for this is nearly impossible through mail system and only a dedicated operation could pull off. (At least twenty people to account for lookouts, systems, delivery, ops, comms. what a joke)
4) Fake non-bomb like devices that scream, I'M A BOMB.
5) None worked, how convenient. Yet crude, simple devices are extremely reliable if built with proper know how.
6) All the major targets are most likely under extreme FBI investigation. (forceful attempt to curry public sympathy or favor)
7) Mass reporting, no questions being asked whatsoever as to whether or not it's a fake bomb threat (we ask this of other bomb threats all the time).
8) Son of Soros pens PUBLISHED article to NY Times within an hour or two, condemning Trump, lol. Again, coordinated.
9) The only people this hurts is Republicans and the only people it helps are the Democrats.
10) If you believe this story, you are a fool.
Anyone wanna add to the list?

Has any official explained why none of these bombs went off? Were they even REAL bombs?

The thing is, I've worked for the USPS. There's no way this would've happened. Way too many systems in place to prevent this. The idiot's can keep believing this farce of a tale. It's about as believable as Th Indiana Jones poster in this thread digging up dinosaurs and making bombs with his #metoo director.
A - release an image of the unexplored bomb during the investigation phase?
You know that it's been clearly stated that the package which was delivered to CNN was done so by "courier" and not the USPS, right?
* - Some of the packages were not sent by mail. The picture of the bomb package shows plenty of postage however the postage stamps themselves are not stamped by the Postal Service to invalidate the stamps after use.
Top congressional Democrats on Wednesday slammed President Trump's response to a series of suspicious packages sent to prominent Democratic officials, saying his "words ring hollow."
"Time and time again, the President has condoned physical violence and divided Americans with his words and his actions," Senate Democratic Leader Charles Schumer (N.Y.) and House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) said in a joint statement.
The two Democratic leaders pointed to Trump's support for Rep. Greg Gianforte (R-Mont.), who pleaded guilty to assaulting a reporter, and accused the president of supporting "dictators around the world who murder their own citizens, and referring to the free press as the enemy of the people."
"President Trump's words ring hollow until he reverses his statements that condone acts of violence," Schumer and Pelosi said.
Their statement comes after Trump said that he condemned "political violence" and urged the country to unify after suspicious packages were mailed to a number of prominent Democratic officials, donors and to CNN, a network often targeted by Trump.

You know the picture came directly from CNN, right?

You do know more than one bomb was sent right?
No. I do not know that.
You do know CNN / other media outlets are using that photo as if it came directly from law enforcement right?
CNN chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta shared an image of the pipe bomb sent to the network’s New York City studio on Wednesday morning. Twitter users quickly spotted what appears to be an Islamic State flag on the device.

Yes. And all of the others (except, perhaps the one to Soros) went through the USPS.
No. I do not know that.

I'm sure you can find more, with your mad skills.
So the FBI has confirmed this?
No, "they" are saying that it came from Acosta.
Since you sidestepped the issue you do know they are passing it off as coming from law enforcement right?
It doesn't take long to take a picture and I'm pretty sure it was in a tweet before it was on air. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Secondly CNN evacuated their building yet apparently had time and allowed an employee to photograph a live explosive just to put on air?

FBI? I don't think the FBI has said anything. But its seems to be the case. Do you have anything to the contrary?

CNN reporter Jim Acosta shared photos of the package on Twitter on Wednesday afternoon, after a police bomb squad removed it from the Time Warner Center building in downtown Manhattan. The building was evacuated after the package was identified, and no one was harmed.
