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.

The interrogation took place in Todashev’s HOUSE, not in a police station.
Instapundit.com has a story on this right now, featuring a letter from the State’s Attorney.

What kind of nitwit thinks a guy involved in a triple murder who flips over a table, bolts for the kitchen, and comes back after you with a broom stick shouldn’t get shot?
Just noticed your posts here stopped in Jan 2020 when Covid was in full rampage and Wuhan was locked down.
Why would a “US asset” as you claim, buy a one way ticket to Russia?
Hardly an interrogation. Just questioning in his apartment.
If you want to kill a guy you don’t bring along extra cops and witnesses, you do it more like what happened to Seth Rich or the US cybersecurity guy years back who ended up dead in a dumpster.
Speaking of years back, you resurrected a thread from 9 years ago. LOL!
