The FBI works for, and falls under the authority of, the Federal Department of Justice, Eric Holder.   Which brings in a strange series of questions regarding the stoppage of questioning by the FBI of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.   Megyn Kelly outlines the initial issue:

Initially the feds proclaimed Tsarnaev would fall under the “public safety exception to miranda” which would have given them 48 hours to question him prior to the delivery of Miranda protection.   The feds didn’t even need to charge him with anything right away – but they did.   In addition, something, obviously unexpected by the FBI interrogators, was changed.  Who changed it? Why? and why was the FBI not notified of the intent to change direction?

Boston AP [excerpt] … Once Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was read his rights on Monday, he immediately stopped talking, according to four officials of both political parties who were briefed on the interrogation but insisted on anonymity because the briefing was private. (more…)

Oh, something is definately afoot with this one.   One would surmise, based on historical precendent, that something was about to be revealed the *administration* views as a risk to Progressive Advancement.  [more after article]

BOSTON, MA –  Regular viewers of Fox News are used to seeing popular host Megyn Kelly on their televisions every afternoon, but on Thursday morning Kelly made a special appearance during the morning to break some surprising information: according to her sources, the FBI was “shocked” to see a magistrate “waltz into” the hospital room of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and read him his Miranda rights.

So why were they shocked? According to Kelly, the FBI was under the understanding that they would get much more time with Tsarnaev under the “public safety exemption” before he was read his rights. Adding to the shock: the sources told Kelly agents were getting crucial information after only 16 hours of questioning and were making valuable progress. […] (more…)

Doing the legwork the Legacy Media will not provide.   Understand exactly how radical this nominee is, then ask yourself:  Where’s the pushback?   

WASHINGTON DC – A vote on President Barack Obama’s controversial labor secretary nominee was postponed after Republican Senators summoned a whistleblower to testify before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions committee.

Politico reported on Wednesday that Frederick Newell, a St. Paul, Minnesota community activist, will appear before the committee to discuss the $200 million whistleblower lawsuit that Tom Perez, the head of the Department of Justice’s civil rights enforcement, allegedly dismissed as part of a quid pro quo deal with the city. The city withdrew a Supreme Court case that threatened to overturn disparate impact, a racial discrimination doctrine that Perez supports, in exchange for the DOJ dropping the whistleblower suit.

The union representing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers are suing DHS and Janet Napolitano because they are not enforcing the law.  The lawsuit stems from the Obama administration’s refusal to deport illegal aliens and their children.

A Federal Judge has now affirmed the obvious, DHS cannot just randomly choose which immigration laws to enforce, and which to avoid.

But think about this the next time you are in a challenging conversation with the progressive left – Has there ever been another modern President who needed to be sued, to follow the laws that were constitutionally written?  (more…)

This story, today’s headline, and how the Treepers review it, is what makes the Treehouse different – As pointed out by Treeper Woohoowee the House Report is an example of presenting information “as if” the desire of the GOP is to reveal the Truth – It is NOT.   The GOP report completely skips the issues of 9/11, 9/12, 9/13 and 9/14 2012 and instead focuses on the “why did the administration change the narrative” beginning 9/15/12.

The congressional report completely skips the heart of the matter in a politically motivated attempt to rebut a series of known lies, misleading statements, and false claims.  In doing so, the report, and those who wrote it, do a horrid injustice to the quest for TRUTH.

However, we hold no predisposition of avoidance.

A Typical Media Report of the Congressional finding looks like this:  House Republicans have concluded that Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was responsible for cutting security at the consulate in Benghazi ahead of last year’s attack there, and that the administration lied about why it downplayed terrorism as the cause of the assault.

STORY HERE

Originally published 4 days ago in the New York Post – Definitely worth a read:

New York Post – Somewhere near Boston early Monday morning, he packed a bomb in a bag. It was by all accounts relatively crude — a pressure cooker, explosives, some wires, ball bearings and nails . . . nails which, hours later, doctors would struggle to remove from the flesh of bleeding victims.

His motive is unclear. His intent is not: It was to maximize injury, suffering, pain, trauma and, yes, death.

Perhaps Monday’s bomber will be caught, perhaps not.

Perhaps Monday’s bomber will be offered a teaching job at Columbia University. (more…)

It is perhaps serendipity the name Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi surfaced during the investigation of the Boston Bombing, “perhaps“.   A name the administration would just as soon be forgotten.

Indeed if you rely on the water-carrying media to follow the story it’s probably the last time anyone will ever discuss the Saudi national, college student, and his powerful family connections.    But some within the new media, in addition to Glenn Beck, are staying on the story.

Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi was injured and hospitalized during the bombing.   Subsequently two high level meetings with his family’s interested representatives were conducted by both Secretary of State John Kerry and President Obama himself.    Michelle Obama even went to the hospital where Ali Al Harbi was being cared for and paid him a personal visit.

But why does he matter? (more…)

Napolitano questioned about Saudi student being “deported, due to national security concerns“…. watch:

On Monday night 4/15/13 (the day of the Boston Bombing) new media reports from the Boston area discussed that an apartment belonging to a Saudi National,  Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi, in Revere Mass,  was searched by FBI and Law enforcement.  Abdul was in the U.S. on a student visa.

Federal search warrant is now being executed at 5th floor apt 364 Ocean Ave in Revere, MA – alot of activity, different agencies on scene.

Immediately following this report I checked this site and found Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi lived in Revere, Mass (Boston suburb) at an apartment on the 5th floor.  #503  – That listing is now scrubbed, gone, disappeared…. down the rabbit hole. (more…)

WASHINGTON – The Senate will vote Wednesday afternoon on what could be the biggest change in U.S. gun laws in nearly two years.

Senators will take up the bipartisan proposal from Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) to expand background checks on firearm purchases and close the so-called gun show loophole at 4 p.m.

It will require 60 votes to pass, and the White House and Democrats still lack the final votes they need. (more…)
