The Department of Homeland Security was dragging its feet on processing Boston bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev's U.S. citizenship after a routine background check revealed he had been questioned by the FBI in 2011.
Authorities knew the alleged bomber had a domestic violence charge on his record but the fact he had been grilled by federal agents is reportedly what threw up red flags, halting the progress of his application.
It's not clear what the 26-year-old, who was killed early Friday, was told about why his application was facing delays.
Tamerlan, 26, filed an application for citizenship six months ago but immigration officials had not yet made a decision on his case at the time of the Boston Marathon bombings.
Official reported on Friday that the F.B.I. interviewed the older Tsarnaev brother in January 2011 at the request of the Russian government, which suspected that he had ties to Chechen terrorists.
They said this decision to delay his application proved his encounter with the F.B.I. did not go unnoticed by the Department of Homeland security.

But McCaul and King said the handling of Tamerlan Tsarnaev's case looked like it was part of a pattern.
The 26-year-old 'appears to be the fifth person since September 11, 2001, to participate in terror attacks despite being under investigation by the FBI,' the pair said in a joint letter.
They named the others as Anwar al-Awlaki, a U.S.-born cleric and leader of al Qaeda's affiliate in Yemen who was killed in a U.S. drone strike; David Headley, an American who admitted scouting targets for a 2008 Islamic militant raid on Mumbai; Carlos Bledsoe, who killed an Army private outside a military recruiting office in Arkansas in 2009; and Nidal Hasan, who is accused of killing 13 people at Fort Hood, Texas, in 2009.

They knew everything they wanted to know about him. And don’t be surprised when, before this “Investigation”, event, or incident, whichever you prefer to call it, is done that the bomber morphs into a White Christian male Tea Party member. Rest assured that the media is going to do everything in their power to bring this about.
Yes...the enemy is in the building. Obama has hired more Muslims to the federal government than in any time in history. They are in the CIA,The FBI and Homeland Security. It is insanity, treason or both.
Heads need to roll!! Gonna be an interesting day!
But I don’t understand how are these two, the elder at least, Holder’s people?
The only people on the watch list are white, own guns, Christian, and right wingers. It’s an enemies list and has nothing to do with real threats.
I don’t recall any FBI spokesman stating he had ever applied for citizenship. He could have applied at age 18, eight years ago. By all accounts, his outward “change” was noticed by aquaintances four years ago (2009) and it eventually brought him to the attention of the FBI. So, what prevented him from getting his citizenship during the four years (2005-2009) before that? Seems to me he never wanted it so perhaps never applied. If that’s the case, then he was already hating Americans.
Look the agents could have recommended he be deported and it was pushed up the chain to this guy and his left leaning sicko CARI loving attorneys
Holder’s former firm, Covington & Burling represented 14 Gitmo detainees. Still looking to see which ones:
“Guantanamo Bay Detainees
We currently represent fourteen men detained at the United States Naval Station at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. Most of the men have been detained for approximately eight years and none have been charged with any crimes. Following the decision by the Supreme Court in Boumediene v. Bush, 128 S. Ct. 2229 (2008), holding that the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus extends to detainees held at Guantánamo Bay, we are challenging the legality of our clients’ detentions in habeas proceedings in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Of the seven cases that have gone to merits hearings thus far, Covington has won four, lost two, and is awaiting a decision in one other. Two prior clients were released without a hearing.
The firm has been involved in the Guantánamo related litigation for the last six years. In addition to the on-going habeas corpus proceedings, our efforts have included: bringing cases for review of enemy combatant classification decisions in the D.C. Circuit under the Detainee Treatment Act of 2005; challenging the destruction of CIA torture tapes in federal court; filing amicus briefs and coordinating the amicus effort in Hamdan v. Rumsfeld, 548 U.S. 557 (2006); filing amicus briefs in support of Supreme Court review in Moussaoui v. United States, 382 F.3d 483 (4th Cir.), cert denied, 544 U.S. 931 (2005); challenging the government’s practice of redacting information from documents given to security-cleared habeas counsel; and challenging the abusive medical and living conditions that the detainees experience at Guantánamo.”

I believe the CCR represented him. The CCR has strong ties to Covington & Burling:
“And then there is the Center for Constitutional Rights, a Marxist organization that for years has coordinated legal representation for terrorists detained at Guantanamo Bay. The CCR has been attempting to convince Germany, France, Spain, and other countries to file war-crime indictments against former Bush administration officials, including President Bush, Vice President Cheney, and Secretary Rumsfeld. In representing America’s enemies, CCR has collaborated with many private lawyers, who also volunteered their services — several of whom are now working in the Obama Justice Department. Indeed, Holder’s former firm boasts that it still represents 16 Gitmo detainees (the number was previously higher). And, for help shaping detainee policy, Holder recently hired Jennifer Daskal for DOJ’s National Security Division — a lawyer from Human Rights Watch with no prior prosecutorial experience, whose main qualification seems to be the startling advocacy she has done for enemy combatants

Jennifer Daskal
Jennifer Daskal is an American lawyer who serves as senior counsel for Human Rights Watch, and focuses on issues of terrorism, criminal law and immigration.[1][2] She is also currently a political hire at the Department of Justice, which is seeking to prosecute terror suspects through the criminal justice system instead of through military tribunals.[3][4]
A graduate of Harvard Law School, Cambridge and Brown University and a Marshall Scholar,[5] Daskal garnered attention after traveling to the countries to which Guantanamo captives have been released, to verify that those countries are abiding by the undertakings they made to the US Government to respect the returned captives’ human rights.[6]
On February 23, 2010, the New York Post reported that Daskal, Neal Katyal, and three other lawyers who had worked on behalf of the civil rights of Guantanamo captives, had been serving on the Obama administration’s task force reviewing the status of the remaining Guantanamo captives.[7] The paper had first questioned her appointment to the Department of Justice’s National Security Division, in July 2009, and then again in January 2010
FOX this morning tried to claim when he went back to Russia, his name was misspelled so it didn't flag the list. Really? Like he doesn't have a numbered passport? Was his passport also misnumbered? With foreign names and letters not following the English alphabet, wouldn't we make allowances for various spellings? Someone is lying.
Russian passports has both number and lathin transcription for their names. This situation is impossible.
Thanks for the reply.
And they didn't have valid licenses to own handguns. Didn't they know that?
And there are laws in Massachusetts prohibiting the public possession of firearms. Didn't they know that?
And there are laws against bombing and laws against murder and laws against...
I do not believe he was believed. I believe we told Russia to pound sand....aka....lied through our teeth.
I hate to say it...I had to jump fence for access...and nearly killed myself. On the way out, I noticed the hinge on the right side (not left) of the fence....laughed outloud despite the fact that I was teaching a new kid the ropes.
They said the software doesn’t work well enough.
Have they caught the Tea Party mastermind yet? /sarc
...And 3 people turn up dead (throats slit in Muslim Terrorist style) on the 10th anniversary of Sept 11 and the FBI/Boston PD doesn’t inverview the “best friend” of one of the dead, a Chechen Muslim, who then leaves to go back to Russia.
Point of order........
Unstated in my view was that tamarlane lied and presented himself as a good guy. The FBI accepted his lies that fit their template.
I’m sure he lied....They certainly weren’t expecting the truth. He was supposed to be deported. What happened to that?? Did Obama overrule that because he was a muzzie....just like Hasan. There IS a pattern....
Terrorist #1 Amazon.com wishlist (from Jester) (FR thread)
Tamerlan Amazon wish list (the Amazon page)
I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume it didn't take a court order for Twitter user Jester to find it.
It's hard to call the FBI vetting "thorough" after looking at that and seeing his interests going back to 2006.
"People are very cautious to advise and report on any links after what happened to many of them after Benghazi" translation no one wants to tell the truth because if you do you may find yourself working a desk in New Deli.At least you would be alive behind that desk.
The Ambassador, a Navy Seal, and two others lost their lives bucking this administration by reporting a terrorist attack that the CYA administration and it's lackeys blamed on a video telling the truth about Islam.
And all the witnesses, those dozens that escaped being murdered in Benghazi, are in lockdown somewhere apparently.
