F.B.I. Agent Is Cleared in Fatal Shooting of Man Tied to Boston Suspects
The New York Times ^ | 21 March 2014 | MICHAEL S. SCHMIDT and MATT APUZZO

The F.B.I. agent who fatally shot a Chechen man in Orlando during an interrogation in May about the Boston Marathon bombing suspects has been cleared of wrongdoing by a prosecutor in Florida and by an F.B.I. internal review, according to law enforcement officials.

Another review, by the Justice Department, which is almost complete, is expected to conclude that the agent followed proper guidelines on the use of force when he killed the Chechen, Ibragim Todashev, according to the officials. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because they did not want to jeopardize their access to classified information.

None of the reports have been publicly released. The Florida prosecutor, Jeffrey L. Ashton, has said his findings will be released on Tuesday. In a written statement, he denied that he had made a final decision.

“The release of purported information is inaccurate and unfair to Mr. Todashev’s surviving family and the police officers involved in the incident and their families,” Mr. Ashton said. “It also contravenes and frustrates all of the efforts to date by employees of the F.B.I., D.O.J. and this office for the orderly and safe release of information,” he added, referring to the Department of Justice.

Civil rights and civil liberties groups criticized the F.B.I.’s findings, saying that it was not surprising that the F.B.I. had once again determined that one of its agents had not violated its policy on the use of force.

I don’t doubt that these muzzie f**ks deserve to die, but after due process. What kind of nazi shoots a man during an interrogation? And what kind of fascist government must it be that lets the filthy little feeb nazi skate?

Florida state attorney denies reports FBI agent in Todashev shooting cleared

'Supporters of Todashev, a mixed martial arts fighter who was struck by six bullets in the torso and another in the back of the head, expressed their “concern” on Friday but said they wanted to study the reports in detail before reacting further.'

Obamatollah sends FBI to determine what each mozzie knows and how likely the mozzie is to tell anybody.

At that point Holder/FBI make an assessment. In this case, Holder/ FBI decided that this moslem knew too much about the Tsarnaev brothers’ background, so Whoops after midnight inside the Orlando apartment they shoot him 6 or 7 times including once in the back of the head to make 100% sure he cannot spill the beans on Hussein’s jihadi footsoldiers and purposeful domestic sleeper cells.

He grabbed a knife and lunged at us.... wait no he didn’t... he attacked with his fists.... wait no he didn’t... agents ‘felt threatened’ blah blah blah.

What about the 2 FBI agents a couple weeks after the Boston Marathon bombing? During a training exercise at sea they roped out of a helicopter only to discover the rope wasn’t really attached to the helicopter too well. Both died. Whoops.

Coincidence! Yeah, that’s the ticket.

IF Todashev went after the agent, he asked to be shot IMO. However, we don’t really know what happened. I also imagine that if this happened under a Repubican presidency, the ACLU, et al, would be baying for blood.

The FBI feared that this martial-arts buddy might have known OlderBro Todashev was a US asset at one time, which would have made it seem like the FBI shared at least some culpability for the Boston Bombing.

When instead, like Icarus flying too closely to the Sun, he had been flipped by those he had started out seeking to infiltrate and had gone rogue.

So with this guy there was only one way for the ChurchBurners to be sure he stayed quiet.

agree completely!

Even by the slipshod standards that Fibbers maintain these days, THIS ONE simply SCREAMS out to be disbelieved.

I’m not believing their STUPID STORY in 10,000 years, and know what?

I hate freakin’ muzzies.

I agree. After due process, hang the dirt bag, but this chump does not get to be the executioner. Too many people are being killed by these clowns.

Right. And remember when the FBI were the really good guys.

The FBI had to shut this guy up just like like back in the Whitey Bulger days.

Anybody who thinks the FBI in Boston didn’t know exactly where Whitey Bulger was all those years is very naive.

Embarrassed to admit it, but I just realized it's very, very likely that you're RIGHT.

Wow....yes.

WHY would they want to find him? I'm sorry to say you're almost certainly right.

This agent will be promoted and transferred to ATF to show them how to deal with gun owners...

In the early 1960’s at a high school in Boston, I had a history professor who constantly railed against the Kennedys and the FBI. He was funny and made us laugh. The man was a seer in hindsight.
