Explosion At FBI Headquarters

For The Record I Was In Miami At The Time And Had Nothing To Do With It!

November 12. 2008

FBI Director Robert Mueller

An explosion occurred at FBI headquarters yesterday, where witnesses phoned 911 to report the blast and the smell of smoke.

I see my telekinetic abilities are still intact, then. I’m just kidding. There was an explosion, though, that the FBI is trying to downplay as "a small electrical fire" they "have under control."

While it’s good no one was hurt, even Mueller, it was probably something like him trying to burn Freedom Of Information files reporters requested, it caught fire on something electrical and blew up (kidding).
