Many commentators have criticized the Obama administration for prosecuting Dzhokhar Tsarnaev criminally, which entailed giving him Miranda rights and providing him with a lawyer. But apart from the wisdom, in principle, of promptly commencing a criminal prosecution in this case, the sequence of events raises obvious questions about what the administration is up to.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was captured last Friday evening. At that time, his condition was described as critical. He had been shot multiple times, had lost a great deal of blood, and doubt was expressed as to whether he would live. Nevertheless, by Monday morning, the administration had decided to proceed immediately with a criminal prosecution, and a brief preliminary hearing was held at the terrorist’s hospital bedside. The hearing was attended by two federal prosecutors, three public defenders, a federal magistrate judge, a court reporter and a doctor. I wrote about the hearing, which I described as “bizarre,” here, and linked to the transcript of the hearing. The magistrate judge explained Tsarnaev’s rights to him; Tsarnaev’s lawyer said that he had met with his client “very briefly.” Tsarnaev himself said exactly one word, which was necessary to get his lawyer officially on board. Further proceedings were adjourned until the end of May.

They were still looking for more perps at the time.
thankyou voters, especially you "convervative" voters for this gift...
From Benghazi to Boston...and points beyond.

Either a true foreigner (or two) in Chechnya, or a ‘foreigner’ (or two) here and possibly shipped home already.
Oh and the Powerline guys seem very trusting.
Not I.
no one is reporting on Chewie’s visit to the hospital to see the Saudi law breaker
No, thank you! For giving us a super-duper candidate to vote for!
The Obama Years are like watching one of those end of the world movies that have 3 parts ,we are in part 1
The only thing transparent is its corruption.
There needs to be a question mark on the headline?
Is an Obama Cover-Up In Progress on the Marathon Bombing?
Does it matter if there was? How many times has this POS thrown out the Constitution? How many times has Congress (both parties) violated their oath? Who’s going to do anything about it? Congress? Supreme Court? American citizens? Good luck...
We’re at the point that it doesn’t matter in America. I’d like a civil war myself but unfortunately we’re on our own or at least that’s how I’m planning things for the family. Off the grid and self sufficient is the goal.
Obvious corruption. Transparent? Not so much.
“Is an Obama Cover-Up In Progress on the Marathon Bombing?”
Is the pope catholic? Does a bear sleep in the woods?
Yep Doogle,
That is an interesting point.
Not the innocent victims,
Some Saudi trash on some terrorist lists.
That about says all I need know about the shelf ass wookie.
I second your statement.
It is disgustingly repulsive for anyone to suggest it is because of Conservatives that we have the Marxist.
The gop-e are willingly working with the Rats to consolidate more power in DC.
