The failure of this Administration to protect our homeland from jihadist threats - despite clear warnings before the Boston attacks - continues to be exposed. And it also calls into serious question how the FBI and DHS can be trusted to handle the increased numbers of asylum visas called for under the 'Gang of 8' immigration bill.

As we reported on April 19, the FBI was warned by a "foreign government" - reportedly Russia - that Tamerlan Tsarnaev was a "follower of radical Islam" with a potential for "terrorist activities". The FBI personally interviewed him, and then cleared him. As we reported, the FBI initially denied that they had investigated Tsarnaev - until an interview with his mother on Russian TV exposed their denial as a farce.

In addition we reported how Tsarnaev, a Chechen "refugee", had been arrested for domestic assault in 2009 - a violent incident that caused the DHS to deny his application for citizenship (which his younger brother obtained). We reported how DHS failed to deport Tamerlan Tsarnaev for his assault, as U.S. immigration law allowed.

Now today, it gets even worse, as NBC News has reported that Russian security services just six months ago - in November 2012 - again warned the FBI about Tsarnaev after his 6-month trip to Dagestan.

This stunning news details that the FBI was warned after Tsarnaev was seen meeting - six times - with a person involved in militant Islamic underground movement in Dagestan. This Islamist leader, Gadzhimurad Dolgatov (who also went by the name Amir Abu Dujana) was killed after a fierce gunbattle with Russian security forces in Dagastan in December 2012

The visit "would lead one to believe that that’s probably where he got that final radicalization to push him to commit acts of violence and where he may have received training" in terrorist techniques, U.S. House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Mike Rogers told NBC.

Tsarnaev also was discovered to have posted videos featuring Dolgatov on his YouTube account. (see screenshots below)

As in 2011 - once again the FBI took no action, but unlike in 2011, did not even get back to the Russian security services with an updated report on Tsarnaev.

He apparently just dropped off their radar screen - until last week in Boston, of course.

But that was not the only clue to U.S. security services that Tamerlan Tsarnaev was a poitential threat, according to the UK's DailyMail...

Holder and Obama WERE informed and knew the Weapons
to be used against the crowd, and MADE CERTAIN
that the dogs *(which would have detected the bombs)
were REMOVED.

Holder, Obama, the DNC, and the DO”J” are working
with al Qaeda AGAINST the American people.

"So what happened? Here we have a non-citizen “asylum” seeker, with a prior record of domestic violence, who had been denied citizenship, who had been named – twice by a foreign security service as a potential terrorist, and who traveled back to the very region that he and his family had supposedly “fled” from as “refugees” years earlier, and which is a hotbed of radical Islamic activity.

In addition, not only was he witnessed being in the company of a terrorist overseas, but also been suspected of “radical” activity at a mosque in Boston.

And the FBI and DHS did absolutely nothing? No further surveilance? No detention or deportation? Why did they even let him back into the country after 6 months in Dagestan? And how could the FBI who investigated Tsarnaev – twice – and interviewed him face-to-face on at least 3 occasions, not be able to recognize his face from surveillance video for 4 days after the Boston Marathon bombings – even with billion dollar facial recognition software – and released his photo to the public instead of staking out and detaining him?"

Perhaps because of the sheer number of individuals just like him who are currently living in our midst? Likely it's impossible at this point for law enforcement to track them all.

And if the Gang of Eight succeeds in their insane plan to grant citizenship to all and sundry, jihadist terrorists turned "citizen" will be entitled to the identical legal rights as those whom they are warring against.

He picks Bill Ayers (unrepentant terrorist and bomber) as a political mentor, that’s why! IMO, he is a clear sympathizer to their cause.

What other conclusion can one draw? Consorting with terrorists such as Bill Ayers and giving support to the Muslim Brotherhood speaks for itself.

I wanted to check this out and followed the link, but the article at the end of the link has no such information. The NBC article has either changed, or this writer may be misleading on the “November 2012” warning from Russia.

I just checked the NBC source in the article, which goes to THIS link, which states:

A police official source in Makhachkala, Dagestan, told NBC News on Sunday that the Russian internal security service reached out to the FBI last November with some questions about Tamerlan, and handed over a copy of case file on him.

Tsarnaev had first popped up on the local police radar in Dagestan last summer, the source said. During routine surveillance of an individual known to be involved in the militant Islamic underground movement, the police witnessed Tamerlan meet the latter at a Salafi mosque in Makhachkala, the police official said.

It was one of six times in total that surveillance officials witnessed Tsarnaev meeting this militant at the same mosque, according to the police official.

The militant contact later disappeared, the police official said, but so did Tsarnaev before investigators had a chance to speak with him. The FBI never responded, according to the Dagestani police official.

Thanks for the info. I’m not sure why, but if one hits the link in the posted article it takes you to a US News article. If one goes to the Stand with Arizona original the same link takes you to a wrcbt.com story. I don’t know why the link in the article you posted takes me to a different story, but it does.

In any event, thanks for the clarification.

He now tells us not to “rush to judgement” yet he and his administration couldn’t do it fast enough on Benghazi and the video.
