Phoenix police confirmed Friday that no powder was found inside an envelope sent to Kari Lake’s campaign office on Nov. 5.

Ross Trumble, a spokesperson for the Lake campaign, told The Republic that a campaign staffer opened an envelope delivered to the office near 40th Street and Camelback Road in Phoenix that contained "suspicious white powder."

The envelopes were sent to a state lab for testing, according to Phoenix police.

“The state lab tested the items turned over to them,” said Donna Rossi, communications director for Phoenix Police Department. The lab "determined there was no substance inside.”

Police should look into whether Lake used these empty envelopes as a hoax to gain sympathy and cause voters to suspect Democrats tried to harm her.

1. These pukes, and their sleazy tawdry schemes, are so tiresome.

5. +1.

24. They are going to try everything to tarnish the results when Kari loses. We know their history. nt

2. BS story ...detected at time of original claim...fake lake..liar lake...

POS..

[Snarkoleptic]

3. Fast forward a couple of months for a page-8 follow-up story

about how it was traced back to one of her supporters with some baby powder and workplace postal meter.

4. Watch her cry now

"The Phoenix police are part of the deep state!"

6. I've been victimized,.. (claimed by Kari Lake),..

I'm a victim of a rigged election,...

I'm a victim of fraudulent voting,..

I'm a victim of a stolen election,...

I'm a victim of being cheated out of my rightful governorship,..

I'm victim of DemocRAT election violence,..

I'm a victim of toxic poisoning.

9. Empty envelopes

Empty classified folders, is this a MAGA trick? Did trump orchestrate his side kicks scam?

[canuckledragger]

10. A hoax is the first thing I thought of when reading this.

These criminal cons love pretending to be victims after all.

...and they've pulled this crap numerous times before. Remember the lying idiot that claimed she was attacked by Obama supporters, but turned out she roughed herself up and drew a backwards 'B' on her face? Backwards because she was looking in the mirror when she drew it on herself.

11. Powderized invisible ink!

[relayerbob]

12. No substance inside

Sorta like Kari Lake

14. My first thought

when I first read it or one of her staff members.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

15. Yes, filing a false police report. . . nt

[twodogsbarking]

16. Were hers the only fingerprints on the envelope?

[Historic NY]

17. Empty envelopes

with imagined powder.

[OldBaldy1701E]

18. And those medias that are impartial

Should be blaring that question for the next six months. Hopefully while editorializing about how rethugs just cannot play without trying to cheat in some fashion. I have no doubt that she used some low level staffer as the bait on this, and if something comes from it that will be the person who will probably suffer consequences. But, just keep hammering that Lake tried to lie about an attack to garner sympathy. A lot please.

19. Are there penalties for filing a false police report?

This was a political stunt.

[twodogsbarking]

20. Looking for the white powder...........

[frogmarch]

21. What they did find was powdered bullshit.

[generalbetrayus]

22. I wonder if the envelope was a prepaid postage envelope

included in a mailing sent out by the campaign to raise money. I still occasionally get mailings addressed to my late father (He died in 2005.) at my address from right-wing outfits asking for money. If there is a pre-paid postage envelope included in the mailing, I return the envelope with nothing in it so the organization has to pay the postage. Petty, but it makes me feel better.

23. Imo.. that's exactly what Toxic Lake

did.. fucking false flag.

Lots of bad karma for miss Gaslit Gasbag.

[kairos12]

25. She is Fake Lake.

She is a vile human being. A complete fascist.

[live love laugh]

26. Very appropo name ✔️💯

[SKKY]

27. No doubt her campaign floated this out there thinking it would help them...

...These fucks are just sick.
