The question remains who, and why.

The timing and supposed targets give a little, but nothing much.

It was conceived in a way no one would ever be hurt (as fake or more fake than clock boy's clock,) and the "leaked" pictures were another calling card signaling this was done for propaganda alone.  Real bombs aren't handled and photos disseminated that way.

After looking at the news this afternoon it certainly smells kind of fishy.  There are a few possibilities right now but what really sticks out to me are the first couple.

1.  A radical far right winger trying to take out a bunch of liberals.  The attack was crude enough that there is a possibility that some nut just "lost it".

2.  Liberals trying a "stunt" right before a mid-term election.  Too many attacks on people that are "not really that important" in the grand scheme of things.  The Clintons?  The Obamas?  Debbie Wasserman Schultz?  Eric Holder?  Something really doesn't sound right here.  Too many names on the list that are obviously left wing and not really "friendly" towards the President.  They also have no place in government right now.  All are from the past.

The timing is very suspicious as is the fact that you have a bunch of migrants invaders supposedly "marching" towards the U.S. at the same time with plenty of media along side them.  It looks too much like a portrayal of "Republicans are mean and Democrats are humanitarians".  Add in the fact that CNN was a victim yet was still reporting on it.

This to me right now reeks of a democrat party ploy to swing the mid term elections much like their failed ploy to reject President Trump's selection of Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.

Something that is also quite telling.  If there were "attacks" or attempts like this at high profile political targets, military bases would increase security posture.  That has not happend.
