Holder Undercut FBI by Giving Tsarnaev Miranda Rights

Updating our earlier report:

Details are emerging that when U.S. Magistrate Judge Marianne Bowler read Dhokhar Tsarnaev his Miranda rights, she went to his hospital room accompanied by a federal public defender (meaning taxpayer-funded) and an assistant U.S. attorney from the Massachusetts prosecutor’s office.

Reports say the FBI was only partway through questioning Tsarnaev to get intelligence to determine who else was involved in the plot and how broad it was. The FBI told federal lawmakers in classified briefings this week they were “stunned” when this judicial officer and lawyers from both sides showed up to read him his rights. Tsarnaev was providing what the FBI called valuable intelligence, when he was read his rights and then immediately stopped talking.

As we’ve explained before, the only danger with denying someone Miranda rights is that whenever the Constitution would require those rights to be announced, anything the defendant says after that point cannot be used to convict him in court. When the public-safety exception to Miranda applies—as it does here—police generally have about 48 hours of questioning the suspect before a judge would say the agents have had enough time to deal with imminent threats and therefore must now administer Miranda. The FBI was only 16 hours into those 48 hours when Miranda was given.....

Holder is the most dangerous pro Jihadist anti America in our country.

Remember how the media's mantra during the Bush years was, "It's a recession. It's a recession." And it wasn't. The economy was growing until Barack Obama started his campaign in 2007. PPS - Is it because you spell it right the other half of the time? JKJKJK

You are partially correct, but the massive Federal spending binge began under Bush who was sent RAT controlled Congressional passed spenging bills (Bush could not find his VETO pen).



The above chart is not up to date. BUT the chart below is the story being spun by the Admin media......

The FBI doesn’t have that kind of authority.

[Louis Foxwell]

The FBI, according to Herb, has whatever authority it chooses to exercise.

The FBI, according to Herb, has whatever authority it chooses to exercise. The agents on duty were within their authority to refuse admittance to anyone for any reason had to chosen to do so. The fact that they submitted passively demonstrates their complicity in this obvious coverup.

That position you cited was in part helped along by Lieberman and stupid stupid stupid Graham. Did I mention how stupid he is??

They wrote so that anyone caught doing anything terrorist related HAD to be shown to have ties to al queda, or be working on their behalf. I might have the wording wrong, but you get the idea.

This whole thing is cluster from the word go. The ONLY thing that is clear in this whole mess, is where this admin stands and it isn’t with Americans.

Just muslims helping other muslims.

Lamentable as this may be, the law is the law. The kid was an American, and upon arrest, he must be Mirandized.

The Senators and Representatives who wrote these laws during the Bush Administration ought to go back and re-read them.

Is it a good law? No.
Do I agree with it? No.
Is it the law? Yes.
Can it be changed? Yes, of course.

The Official Version is that the kids were acting on their own, not under the direction of a foreign power. In fact, all of the testimony given before the kid was Mirandized stands a pretty good chance of being thrown out of the criminal trial. Of course it is still of much value to the FBI, who are free to act upon it. The politicians are just posturing

Every citizen already has these "Miranda" rights - they are granted by God (as all rights are) to individuals and are simply guaranteed by the US Constitution in the Bill of Rights.

Wrong. Miranda "Rights" are the extrapolated result of a Supreme Court ruling and have the shakiest of constitutional underpinning. The US criminal justice system functioned for 200 years without them.
