Holder Undercut FBI by Giving Tsarnaev Miranda Rights

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.....

Imagine having done that and not yet realizing that such behavior puts you on the list of suspects to be investigated.

If your motive was to assist in the perpetration of a crime it really doesn't matter that you were officially a magistrate judge or Attorney General ~ you will eventually go down for it. Just a matter of time.

When 4 massive airliners slammed into a NYC skyscraper and other unfortunate destinations, and killed over 3000 Americans, a lot of "smart" people said, "Bush was behind all that."

Now we have the First Lady visiting a "person of interest" in the hospital, we have that "person of interest" shuffled out of the country, and we have the feds swooping in to tell the remaining suspect that he better not say anything to anyone about anything.

And if anyone were to say, "I think Obama is standing with the Muslims" they would be branded as a stark lunatic. Such a thought is unthinkable, right?

Holder's sworn allegiance is to al Qaeda.

"Some of the nation's wealthiest and most powerful law firms have donated hundreds of
millions of dollars in free legal services to terror suspects at the Guantanamo Bay prison.
Their work, bolstered by left-wing activists groups, has helped to free, or force the
transfer, of hundreds of al Qaeda suspects to third countries. Some have gone back to
terrorism and the job of trying to kill Americans.

The work of big American law firms on behalf of al Qaeda is drawing new attention since
Attorney General Eric Holder decided this month that Khalid Sheik Mohammed, who
orchestrated the murder of over 3,000 9-11, is coming to New York City for trial. Holder
was a partner at Covington & Burling, which in 2005 gave one its attorneys an award for
aiding 17 Yemeni suspects at Guantanamo."

Something is very wrong here. The FBI is a cabinet of the DOJ along with that Judge. The Zippy regime is trying to make this "coverup" look like a failed investigation.
