swastika-adorned package was sent to Rep. Raul Grijalva's (D-Ariz.)

(CNN) -- The suspicious powder inside a swastika-adorned package sent to an Arizona congressman is "nontoxic," an FBI spokesman said Friday.

Staffers checking mail in the Tucson, Arizona, office of U.S. Rep. Raul Grijalva on Thursday found a white, powdery substance and drawings of two swastikas inside an envelope, Grijalva campaign spokesman Adam Sarvana told CNN.

Almost a dozen people were in the office when the incident happened around 12:30 p.m. Thursday (3:30 p.m. ET), he said. All of them were checked on-scene by local authorities and sent home.

Scientists at an FBI laboratory in Phoenix, Arizona, conducted a full analysis of the substance, according to Sarvana. Those tests came back negative midday Friday, according to FBI Special Agent Manuel Johnson.

Johnson said the FBI would have no further comments, as "the investigation is ongoing." U.S. Capitol Police are also participating in the investigation, according to Sgt Kimberly Schneider, a spokeswoman for the force.

The incident was the third security issue at Grijalva's district offices this year, Sarvana said.

"It's just a continuation of a problem we've been having," Grijalva told CNN affiliate KVOA.

In April, the congressman closed two local offices for an afternoon after receiving threats regarding his position on controversial immigration legislation. And in July, a bullet shattered a window in his Yuma, Arizona, office, KVOA reported.

"I do feel a great deal of concern for the people that work with me, for me. I feel concerned for the constituents that come to that office," Grijalva told KVOA Thursday. "Obviously, we're going to have to make more changes."

Raul Grijalva fakes “terrorist attack” to cover up Yuma voter fraud story

Here is a perfect example of political cynicism from the gangster Congressman in Arizona’s 7th District.

Just hours after the Yuma Sun reports that 3000 voter registrations had been dumped at the Yuma County Recorder’s Office by a group affiliated with the SEIU (with most of them subsequently found to be fraudulent), Raul Grijalva’s office received a suspicious package covered in swastikas with a white powder inside.

Now the story about the suspicious package — the “terrorist attack” as Grijalva puts it — has gone national, and the voter fraud story has gone unnoticed by the mainstream media. How convenient, right?

Raul Grijalva part-time staffer Emily Romero has repeatedly bragged to Democratic insiders that the campaign concocts these threats to take attention away from bad publicity. In this case, the campaign decided to fake a “terrorist attack” on themselves to cover up the story of voter fraud that had just broken.

What is most interesting is that the DCCC reported the suspicious package to the media long before the local authorities were even told about the situation. Plus, one has to ask, how does an envelope marked with swastikas and full of white powder make it successfully through the postal system these days?

It is unlikely that Grijalva will be able to steal this election from Ruth McClung, however. Sources say that a team of lawyers and election integrity experts is already been assembled to challenge illegal registrations and ballots cast in all of Southern Arizona’s counties.

They have to investigate as the apparent hatemail package would be a Federal offence.

But you can bet that the voter registration fraud by the SEIU-affiliate is also under investigation. It just isn't "newsworthy" enough for the media to report.

Raul Grijalva - another political weasel.

FBI- Federal Bureau of Investigation

They have to investigate these kinds of incidents especially those that come through the postal service and that doesn't mean Grijalva didn't mail himself a suspicious package with swastikas. If so, he forgot to stick a neon sign on it for good measure.
