The government is withholding pertinent evidence from Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s lawyers, making it difficult for them to adequately defend the 20-year old. Boston.com reports that based on the evidence being withheld, Tsarnaev’s lawyers are requesting a time extension in order to better prepare their defense.
Rolling Stone – August Issue
Tsarnaev’s representation has requested a judge to force the government to turn over crucial interviews with the family of the accused “as well as grand jury testimony,” reported the Boston Herald.
His defense team is arguing that the evidence being withheld is critical in preparing “their opposition to the enforcement of the death penalty in the case.”
“The government has taken the position that, ‘Look, we know what we have and you don’t need to know about it,’ ” attorney Judy Clarke told U.S. District Court Judge George A. O’Toole Jr.
“It’s of concern that the government thinks it can make a decision based on what they know without some defense input. They may have a completely erroneous story.”
The 20-year old is accused of carrying out the attacks at the Boston Marathon on April 15, killing 3 and injuring hundreds. While it’s still unclear exactly what role the Tsarnaev brothers played in the attacks, they were most likely patsies set up by the government to carry out their false flag event.
Prosecutor William Weinreb said, “We have provided a great deal of information.” He argued that six months is enough time to compile their report and make their case (however, no amount of time is enough when you don’t have all the evidence).
“Calling it ‘the biggest philosophical dispute we have with the government right now,’ fellow public defender Miriam Conrad argued the missing discovery is potentially ‘relevant’ and ‘exculpatory,’” reported the Boston Herald.
The government claims that they have video footage of the younger brother dropping the backpack bomb at the site, however, that footage likely doesn’t exist, or else it would have been made public by now.
The government had no problem releasing footage of Navy Yard shooting suspect Aaron Alexis entering the building with his firearm before carrying out an attack that left 13 dead, including himself.
“US Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz plans to make a recommendation by Oct. 31 on whether to seek the death penalty to US Attorney General Eric Holder, who will ultimately make the decision. And under federal guidelines, Ortiz can consider Tsarnaev’s opposition. She has set a deadline for Oct. 24 for the defense team to respond, a deadline the team says it can’t meet.”
Tsarnaev has plead not guilty to the charges, and remains incarcerated without bail.
Yesterday, Infowars released reports exposing the harassment of Ibragim Todashev’s friend andgirlfriend before and after his death. Todashev was executed by the FBI on May 22 in his Fla. home after hours of interrogations by the FBI regarding his relationship with Boston bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
The girlfriend, Tatiana Gruzdeva was jailed for three months on immigration charges, and Todashev’s friend Ashurmamad Miraliev, is currently in jail on charges of “tampering with a witness or evidence,” which under Fla. State law is a second degree felony.
His bond is currently set at $50,000, however, even if he were to make bail, there’s an immigration hold on him meaning he’d be released into their custody and possibly deported.
Miraliev was previously coached into not answering any questions unless a lawyer was present by the Florida Council on American-Islamic Relations, however he was still denied the right to an attorney.

The Boston bombing mystery deepens as detailed accounts emerge of Ibragim Todashev’s final days before he was executed by the FBI on May 22 in his Fla. apartment. The account is being given from the MMA fighter’s live-in girlfriend, Tatiana Gruzdeva, an immigrant from Tiraspol, a town in the former Soviet country of Moldova.
Todashev and Gruzdeva
Earlier in the month Infowars interviewed Todashev’s widow, Reni Todashev. See below for the full video interview.
While it’s still unclear exactly what role Dzhokhar, Tamerlan or even Todashev played in the Boston bombing, what we do know is that they were most likely patsies, set up by the government.
Todashev was an alleged acquaintance of the Boston bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev. Tamerlan and his younger brother Dzhokhar, were accused of carrying out the Boston Marathon bombing on April 16 in which three were killed and hundreds injured.
Gruzdeva, 19, gave a tearful account of the events leading up to Todashev’s death in an interview with the Boston Magazine last week. She explained that she met Todashev through a mutual acquaintance, and while they were just friends at first, he soon asked her to move in, telling her he had a big apartment with two floors.
She agreed to move in and soon after they became a couple, even adopting a cat named Masia. “It was like a small family, me and him and the cat, he was like a little baby for us,” she said.
Gruzdeva said Todashev was sad after the Boston bombing but wouldn’t tell her why. He later admitted it was because his friend was dead, but he didn’t elaborate any further or identify who the friend was. In fact, Gruzdeva had no idea who Tamerlan Tsarnaev was until the FBI showed up at their door.
While she was washing dishes on May 16, she heard men outside the window shouting, “Move down! Move down!” She saw her boyfriend outside on the ground surrounded by agents in plain clothes. Panicked and unable to identify the men, she ran upstairs and hid in the second floor bathroom. When she came out she saw her boyfriend in handcuffs.
“They put a chair in the middle of the room, she said, and made Todashev sit in it,” reported the magazine.
Todashev was complaining of pain in his knee, telling the agents he had just had surgery. They agents said they didn’t care and they knew he was an MMA fighter and that he “could do something.”
“I will not do anything because I’m just off surgery, I’m not stupid,” said Todashev.
Gruzdeva said the agents began aggressively interrogating him about the Boston bombing, demanding to know what he knew of the attack.
Gruzdeva spoke up, defending him, insisting he did nothing because he was with her in the house and he didn’t do anything wrong, but the agents persisted asking the same questions again and again.
The agents wanted to know if Todashev knew Tsarnaev. He admitted they had “trained together in martial arts and gone clubbing together before Tsarnaev had become more devout.” This was the first time Gruzdeva had heard Todashev speak of Tsarnaev.
She said the agents left with Todashev and took all of his electronics, including his cell phone. Six hours later he returned, assuring her that everything was going to be OK. The next day the agents returned the equipment they had confiscated.
Gruzdeva says the agents continued to harass them, calling them regularly, visiting their home and demanding they come into the office for further questioning.
The Boston Magazine reports that the agents questioned Todashev about a phone call he received from Tsarnaev after his surgery and demanded to know why he deleted the call from his phone log.
Gruzdeva remembers her boyfriend telling the agents he deleted it because he was scared. The agents then began questioning the MMA fighter about his alleged involvement in a grisly unsolved triple homicide that occurred on Sept. 11, 2011, in which three men’s throats were cut ear to ear, nearly decapitating them. $5,000 and seven pounds of marijuana was found at the scene, strewn across the dead bodies, and no suspects were ever named.
The 19-year old told the Boston Magazine that they both “believed they were being followed by the FBI on their way to work or to visit friends,” and Todashev would “point out cars that he believed were driven by FBI agents.”
Even after all of the alleged harassment by the FBI, the couple agreed to conduct another interview, this time in the FBI’s office. Gruzdeva said she was waiting in the lobby while officials questioned Todashev again, when an agent she recognized from a previous house visit approached her.
The agent asked her to come with him and questioned her for three hours, asking her things like ‘Can you tell us when he will do something?’ She replied, ‘No! I can’t! Because he wasn’t doing anything, and I didn’t know anything.’
‘Oh really?’ said the agents. ‘So why don’t we call immigration?’
Gruzdeva was in the country on a student visa which had expired. She said the agents knew this the first time they visited their home, but were unconcerned. However, now, were using it against her for answers that she didn’t have.
They then called immigration and had her locked up for 3 months, including five days in solitary confinement. She said she spoke with Todashev nearly every day over the phone while she was incarcerated, and they spoke of how they would be together once she was released.
During a phone conversation from jail, she said Todashev told her about the day he found her missing from the lobby, and said agents mocked him when he tried to find out where his girlfriend was.
“Where’s your girlfriend,” they asked. Todashev, frustrated said, ‘I want to hit them because I was so mad, why they lie to me? They stole you.’
On the day she was placed into solitary confinement, she wasn’t given any answers as to why, but the next morning was told that Todashev had been fatally shot by the FBI.
She didn’t believe it at first, but was granted a phone call and confirmed his death with their friend Husain, the one who had introduced them.
“And everything is flush in my heart, my heart was broken, because me and Ibragim we had a plan, we had a plan to be together, we had a plan to have a family. Yes we were different, we had a different culture, different religion, but it was ok, he tell me, everything will be ok, we’ll all figure it out. But he want to be with me and I want to be with him, we had a plan to have children and everything. And now, he’s not here and we’re not going to be together anymore.”
She was reportedly kept in solitary confinement for four more days before being released. She was picked up by Todashev’s father and friend Ashurmamad Miraliev (who was arrested last Wednesday for allegedly threatening a victim of a crime) and driven to the home where she and Todashev lived.
The FBI and state authorities have refused to launch an investigation or release any reports (including the autopsy report), on the shooting death of Todashev. The FBI’s story has changed innumerable times.
“Some said Todashev was armed with a blade. Another said he was unarmed when the agent shot him. Still another said Todashev attacked the FBI agent with a metal pole or perhaps a broomstick, prompting the injured agent to shoot and kill him,” reported Boston.com.
Below is a video of Todashev and Gruzdeva together.

Friend of Chechen Man Executed by FBI, Arrested and Interrogated for Hours
FBI asked some of Todashev’s friends to “spy on local mosques and threatened to arrest them if they didn’t”

The Florida Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR FL), an organization built to challenge stereotypes of Islam and Muslims, says the FBI has been harassing friends of Ibragim Todashev since he was murdered by the FBI on May 22 in his Fla. home.
According to WFTV’S report, the civil rights group said “the FBI even asked some of Todashev’s friends to spy on local mosques and threatened to arrest them if they didn’t.”
Ashurmamad Miraliev, a friend and roommate of Todashev and his live-in girlfriend, Tatiana Gruzdeva, were arrested by Fla. police on Sept. 20, on charges of “threatening a witness in a 14-month-old battery case against Todashev,” reported Boston.com.
According to Julissa Rizzo, assistant for the general council at the Osceola County clerk’s office, the “battery case” is reportedly related to an incident in at the Ali Baba Hookah Cafe and Lounge in Kissimmee, Fla.
Miraliev is being held in the Osceola County Jail in Kissimmee, Fla. When Infowars called to confirm his charges, I was told he was being charged with “tampering with a witness or evidence,” which under Fla. State law is a second degree felony.
Ashurmamad Miraliev
His bail is set to $50,000, however, even if he were to be bailed out, he is under an immigration hold. Which means upon his release he would be turned over to immigration, and possibly deported.
CAIR-FL claims the real reason he was arrested was to question him about his relationship with Todashev, who FBI believe was an acquaintance of Boston Marathon bombing suspect, Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
“Didn’t ask him anything about the alleged charges. Just interviewed him for over six hours trying to get as much information on Ibragim Todashev as possible,” said Hassan Shibly, director of the Florida chapter of CAIR.
Shibly previously coached Miraliev into not answering any questions unless a lawyer was present, however Miraliev was still denied the right to an attorney.
“He made repeated requests for an attorney throughout, because we had trained him to do that, because we didn’t want anyone else shot and killed,” said Shibly.
“And that’s what’s most shocking and most troubling for us is here you have a Florida resident, exercising his right for an attorney — demanding to see his attorney — and they’re saying ‘No, that’s not happening,’” Shibly said.
The civil rights group asked the U.S. Department of Justice to launch an investigation into what they call “a pattern of egregious civil rights violations and abuse by the FBI targeting friends of Todashev.”
Authorities have refused to investigate the shooting death of Todashev, and have also refused to release any reports of his death, including the autopsy report.
Change.org has filed a petition requesting the U.N. investigate the possible involvement of the US government in the Boston bombing attacks, and also “thoroughly investigate the subsequent events that happened leading to the death of Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
