Survivors outraged after learning Tsarnaev's family's trip to US paid for with American tax dollars

The family of the convicted marathon bomber is in America, on your tax dollars, and survivors are outraged after learning the news.

As of Thursday, family members of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev have been staying at the Hampton Inn in Revere under very tight security, just one of the things tax dollars are paying for. FOX25's Sharman Sacchetti investigated how much this trip is costing you.

Sources say these family members are being called as witnesses and not only that, at least three agencies are working around the clock to protect and transport them. This is all part of the defense team's strategy to save Tsarnaev. While it's unclear when their flight started, we know the last part of it came through Amsterdam and landed at Logan Airport and cost nearly $2,500 per person.

The cost to put them up at the Hampton Inn at the government rate: almost $200 per night, per person. And a source says at least three agencies, the FBI, US Marshal's and Revere Police are involved in constant protection.

“I think you're probably talking about $100,000 plus in that neighborhood in terms of security and out of pocket costs associated with travel,” former US attorney Michael Sullivan said.

And that's just for this trip.

Lawyer fees or even what all witnesses during the trial cost is still unclear. One defense witness, Mark Spencer of Arsenal Consulting, charged $375 per hour and billing taxpayers for $150,000.

Governor Charlie Baker said, “It's a federal trial, it's a federal case, the feds ultimately need to make the decisions about this.”

Baker was non-committal about how resources are being used, even state ones.

Sullivan told Sacchetti that while he understands taxpayer outrage, the whole point is to make sure it's done right.

Looks like the mother of the bomber brothers got Obama's WH memo (snix) and is blaming the "terrorist USA" for hurting her "wonderful little boys."

The mother of convicted Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev furiously promised that the US “will pay” for convicting her “innocent” son and killing his older brother, after learning that 21-year-old Dzokhar was found guilty of all 30 counts in the Boston Marathon bombing trial. Zubeidat also sent a note in Russian to a family friend Wednesday, saying she believed Americans were the real “terrorists”, claiming her son is truly “the best of the best.” (excerpted from NY POST).

==============================================

CLARIFICATION: Dzokhar is the one who killed his brother---he aimed a stolen SUV at cops involved in a shootout w/ his brother. But Dzokhar ran over his brother instead, and dragged him to his death, attached to the SUV's undercarriage.

BTW, Tsarnaev Mommy-dearest cannot enter the US---b/c there is a warrant out for her arrest.....on shoplifting charges.

BETCHA THE BOMBING SURVIVORS DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS--- Within hours of the Boston Marathon blasts, US government officials, and Muslims, in Boston called each other to offer assistance......just in case THE MUZZIES suffered backlash or threats.

REFERENCE Federal outreach to Muslim American communities is a pillar of Obama counter-terrorism strategy

Within hours of the Boston Marathon blasts, government officials and Muslims in Boston called each other to offer assistance. These calls were the fruits of years of cultivating such relationships in an effort to ultimately prevent the very type of attack Boston experienced April 15....

Representatives from the US Departments of Justice and Homeland Security called to offer support to Muslim communities......just in case THEY suffered backlash or threats. (more on FR).

ISLAM IS ALL ABOUT TRIUMPHALISM Bostonians better prepare for the US govt subsidizing the building of a mosque close to the Boston Marathon finish line b/c Islam is all about "triumphalism"......they'll get lotsa help from Democrat Obomba, Democrat Secy of State Kerry, and the Democrats currently running Boston govt.

=====================================================

Then-US Sen Kerry's "credentials," presented to Ohaha when the Secy of State job became available.

BTW, this is the mosque where the Tsarnaev's worshipped.

Only when victims band together do we see changes happen. We managed to bounce 1 state anti-DP State Supreme Justices Penny White, we almost got a 2nd but since he was black, you know he screamed racism. IDIOT blacks don’t know friend from foe in politics. We couldn’t touch the US District anti-DP nut job.

Let a politician or judges child/grand be the victim, you see law changes the next year. Happened in TN. One of the big wig judges had his daughter and 2 grands killed by a DUI, and laws were changed the next legislative session.

TN is 1 of the few states that NOW have State Constitutional Rights for crime victims

I will empathize for you too. Only good thing the feds did was go to a 85% serve rate, other than that they stink as bad as state government crime laws.
