Law360, New York (March 24, 2023, 2:23 PM EDT) -- Russian email accounts sent a series of hoax bomb threats targeting the Manhattan district attorney and court buildings for three straight days this week amid a grand jury investigation of former President Donald Trump.

The unsubstantiated threats, now under investigation by the New York Police Department and FBI, were emailed to local government officials at a Manhattan community board, according to police. They came from Russian email addresses in the early morning hours on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, listing government buildings and schools as the targets of alleged pipe bombs, according to the local board official who received them.

"The FBI told me that they appear to be coming from Russia," said Susan Stetzer, district manager of Community Board 3, who read the emails to Law360 Friday. The board received four email threats over the three days, often sent from @mail.ru domains under different names, she said. The NYPD confirmed the board was the recipient of the original bomb threat on Tuesday.

The FBI declined to comment.

Separately on Friday, a suspicious white powder was delivered to the offices of District Attorney Alvin Bragg in an envelope marked "Alvin," according to the NYPD.

1. Why is this a surprise? Trump is a Russian asset.

And not the only one.

[C Moon]

2. 3-2-1...tfg and the gop are going to say Democrats did it to make them look bad.

[jpak]

3. But but but

No collusion

Nope

[ancianita]

4. Or maybe trump's own Bannon operatives are working through Russian proxy servers

with emails that appear to be of Russian origin. But if this upfront report buys more time for the FBI, it might not be hard for the FBI to eventually find the originating IP addresses.

This is felony obstruction against the Manhattan DA's work.

5. "Russia, if you're listening. Who will remove this stone from my shoe?"

[iluvtennis]

6. tfg who is a Russian asset should have been charged on the dozens of obstruction of justice

charges that were in the Mueller Report.

Of course the Bill Barr DOJ wasn't going to do anything, but I sure wanted to see the Merrick Garland DOJ move on those obstruction of justice charges.

7. even hoax bombs can cause havic. I hope they find out who sent them.

[RussBLib]

8. it is rather shocking to see GOPers sympathetic to Putin

I mean, seriously, WTF!?

After all this testimony is given by Meadows, Stephen Miller, Ratcliffe, etc, I hope that Jack Smith seeks testimony from Jim Jordon, Paul Gosar, MTG, Boebert, and the other GOP House members who have seemed so sympathetic to the Insurrection/Coup.

After Jordon demanding the NY AG come testify to Congress, I can hear the howls if Jack Smith subpoenas THEM! "Separation of powers!! Overreaching!!"

9. Putin is going to bat for his favorite asset, Donald Trump. nt

[yaesu]

10. Sounds like an act of war, and a good start would be to enact a no fly zone over Ukraine

Shoot down anything that enters Ukrainian airspace

[OAITW r.2.0]

13. Exactly. Putin is at war with us, through his Trump Proxy,

Time to go on the offense and take Putin out.

[Delphinus]

11. This should

be front page news.

[orangecrush]

12. Surprise surprise

Arrest this treasonous bastard already.

[inwiththenew]

14. There will be a lot more trolling like this from Russia

What's going to stop them? Russia will wipe their ass with any request from US law enforcement to stop or arrest these people.

[Grins]

15. "...in an envelope marked "Alvin"?

Really???

[blue-wave]

16. No F'in kidding

The connection has been there for years and must be severed. Putin and Trump behind bars, both criminals against humanity.

[SWBTATTReg]

17. Figures. Wonder how the tangerine will explain this away?

[Farmer-Rick]

18. Seems like nothing will stop Russian harassment like this

They can mail any crap they want, to anyone they want. They can agitate and harass anyone they want on all sorts of Internet accounts.

Seems the FBI are useless at stopping any of this Russian harassment. It's almost as if the FBI is the most useless organization in the history of the US.

Because: "The FBI is the lead federal agency responsible for investigating foreign influence operations. In the fall of 2017, Director Christopher Wray established the Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF) to identify and counteract malign foreign influence operations targeting the United States."

Maybe some changes at the top are necessary to prevent this continued harassment from foreign governments.
