Initially, FBI officials said Todashev, 27, became violent and lunged at an agent with a knife while he was being questioned about Tsarnaev and an unsolved 2011 triple murder in the Boston suburb of Waltham. The agent, acting on an "imminent threat," then shot Todashev, they said.

However, later in the day, some of those officials had backed off that preliminary account, and it's no longer clear what happened in the moments before the fatal shooting, The Associated Press reported.

How were they questioning him if he still had a knife?

"...lunged at an agent with a knife..."

Questioning an armed suspect?

"Did you check him for weapons?"

"No, I didn't check him. I thought you checked him. Didn't YOU check him?"

"Nope, I didn't."

"Well, maybe we ought...holy krap... Grab him! He's got a knife!"

"Bang."

“”became violent and lunged at an agent with a knife while he was being questioned “”

And we’re supposed to believe the FBI was interviewing him without checking to see if he had a weapon on him? I guess it’s not too difficult to believe as it’s only we patriotic Americans they fear.

Just ask the FBI agent who asked the judge to sign the stupid order for the case of James Rosen to be turned over CRIMINALLY to a US Attorney. It was two judges really - one refused and the agent took it to another one who approved it. That agent AND US Attorney should be out of jobs. The FBI and US Attorneys are a deadly mix!

Why is it that everything associated with this smells to high heaven?

It has become impossible for a thinking person not to question everything they (government security agencies) tell us because their accounts of events are always “evolving”.

Even truth sounds like lies. Does paranoia now need to be the new normal?

I heard an interview with Harrison Ford about that scene. I don’t recall if he was sick at the time, but they had done the sword fighting scene several times and he and everyone else was hot and tired.

So on the umpteenth time he ad-libbed pulling out his revolver and shot the guy. He said the other actor is great and just went along with it.

Very unsettling when the least malignant explanation is the FBI agents were affirmative action hires.

The FBI was almost done with the confession to murder from a mixed martial artist and good friend of a notorious terrorist.

Of course he grabbed a knife. Why not?

Unknown FBI Biggie: Uh, these news stories out of Orlando... Were our guys interrogating a suspect armed with a knife? Nice story, but the public will never believe it. Walk that back a little.

FBI Underling: Yes Sir! Right away Sir!!
