Report: Foreign Gov't Asked FBI to Look at Boston Terror Suspect for 'Extremist Ties' in 2011
The Blaze ^ | 4/19/13 | Jason Howerton

Posted on 04/19/2013 4:30:49 PM PDT by Nachum

A “foreign government” asked the FBI to look into one of the Boston Marathon bombing suspect’s “possibly extremist ties” in 2011, CBS News reported on Friday. The FBI complied and spoke with Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, to investigate any possible ties to extremism.

The FBI determined Tsarnaev represented no threat, according to CBS News.

Tamerlan, believed to be 26 when he was killed overnight in a shootout, dropped out after studying accounting at Bunker Hill Community College for just three semesters. He was an amateur boxer who had hoped to fight on the U.S. Olympic team, a man who said he had no American friends.

“I don’t have a single American friend. I don’t understand them.” he was quoted as saying in a photo package that appeared in a Boston University student magazine in 2010.

He identified himself then as a Muslim and said he did not drink or smoke: “God said no alcohol.” He said he hoped to fight for the U.S. Olympic team and become a naturalized American. He said he was studying to become an engineer before he dropped out.

More recently, Tamerlan – married, with a young daughter – became a more devout Muslim, according to his aunt, Maret Tsarnaeva. She told reporters outside her Toronto home Friday that the older brother had taken to praying five times a day.

At this point, I don’t know how they can explain themselves.

They can't explain themselves.

That's why this whole thing is going to be sent to Benghazi. The media is going to try to scrub this from the public mind just as soon as they can.

The elites are going to crank the "bread and circuses" knob to the right just as hard as they can. I wouldn't think it would work, but millions of New York City voters voted for Obama and hate Bush, even though they see their WTC-free skyline every day.

They see a skyline altered for the pleasure of muslims every day, but vote for a guy who's letting them in by the hundreds of thousands.

Beck reported that he fed info of explosive nature to all major news orgs so they would release it, because the news needed to come from a “credible” news source.....that alone blows me away. Beck gave them to Monday to release the story or he would and that these news orgs refused to release. I suspect this IS that story.

“This is fast and furious 2.0”

But we haven’t quite given them any rifles. Grenades, apparently, yes.

HOMELAND SECURITY MASSIVE FAIL

This one won’t be as easy as Benghazi for the administration to cover up.

Napolitano and Obama will be wishing they had bought some 55 gallon barrels of whitewash along with those 1.2 billion rounds of ammo and the 2,700 MRAP armored vehicles.

Another failure for the Flabby Bureau of Investigation. Some of the agents in Boston look like they are pushing 70 yrs. old.

Are these guys who do 20 in the military and retire, 20 as local cops and retire, and then get in the FBI?

FBI is an INEPT agency run by the INEPT MUELLER!!!

Perhaps. But the FBI might be one of the only independent agencies not controlled by Obama. Their intel is limited, but they might be doing the best they can under the circumstances.

Mueller is a solid guy...not in the pocket of Obama.

I would rather have a 70 year old patriot than a 30 year old Obamanoid.

I don't get daily reports from the FBI...but I know that Mueller is not an Obama guy.

And, considering the alternative (of having a Muslim as head of the FBI), that's good enough for me.

I would rather have an incompetent running the FBI than a muslim convert like Brennan.
