Obama Convenes National Security Team, Legal Questions Surface After Bombing Arrest
ABC News ^ | April 20, 2013 | Matthew Larotonda

President Obama and his national security team met today in the wake of the dramatic arrest Friday night of Dzhokar Tsarnaev, the surviving suspect of the terror attack at the Boston Marathon.

The weekend meeting lasted 90 minutes and was attended by FBI Director Robert Mueller, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, CIA director John Brennan, Attorney General Eric Holder, and other members of the National Security Council, according to a White House statement.

Vice President Joe Biden joined the Situation Room session via teleconference; Biden traveled to Detroit today for an evening fundraiser for the Michigan Democratic Party.

“The President commended the work that was done to pursue justice in the Boston Marathon bombing, and underscored the need to continue gathering intelligence to answer the remaining questions about this terrorist attack going forward,” the White House statement said.

Federal authorities tell ABC News they are planning to invoke a “public safety exception” with Tsarnaev, which allows for them to engage the naturalized U.S. citizen in limited interrogations when there is a threat of danger to the public, without him being read his Miranda rights.

But as the president met with his council today some Republican lawmakers urged the Obama administration to label Tsarnaev an “enemy combatant” as well, a legal status that would put him under the purview of a military commission, rather than a civilian court....

DoJ AG Holder was appointed by a usurper. Any defendant who objects to a prosecutor appointed by a usurper before trial will have the objection sustained because the appointment violated the Appointments Clause of the Constitution.

The bombing suspect will have to be charged in state court with a state prosecutor.

“the Obama White House intends, at least in part, to make ourselves to blame for what happened in Boston – in order to deflect real blame away from the administration.”

I can just see the Lindsay, McCain, Rubio troika in that picture.


For sure. Lindsay is a reserve JAG officer, too.

Rubio is a devious punk who wants to go places.

This thing called a “colossal intelligence failure” on the Kudlow a few minutes ago, I forgot the guest’s name. “You blame the FBI?” “No, I blame the administration” for restraining the FBI.

As you know, Kudlow is not a wackadoodle, he’s conservative, as in very cautious, as well as conservative in his view point, at least in most areas. I wish he HAD run against Shumer.

Unfortunately, you’re right.

I quit getting my hopes up too high when Larry Clayman of Judicial Watch failed to stick anything on the Clintons.

I wish I had all the money I sent him.

Yep, and Beck has promised to go public on Tuesday.

Here is my wild stab at Glen's story.

The Sauds were setting up the Chechens, but the Chechens found out and setup the Sauds.

Betcha the original plan was to shoot up the Marathon with legally purchased guns by two American citizens. Then gun control would have been passed. The Sauds set em up and were going to be the heros of the crowd. Kinda fits everything.

My 2 cents.

Both (Sauds and Chechens) could have been working for the US. Possibly two different organizations that may not have even been in contact. Explains all that presence.

The White House white-wash is about to begin.

Obama greats National Security Team
