Putin: Russias Tip On Boston Bombing Suspect Didnt Have 'Operative Significance'Russian President Vladimir Putin weighed in on the Boston Marathon bombing during a marathon public question-and-answer session Thursday, claiming the information Russia provided the FBI about one of the alleged bombers did not have "operative significance." Putin also declared that Americans who want to see the surviving suspect branded a "prisoner of war" have "completely lost their marbles."Putin addressed the bombing during a "Direct Line" broadcast where he spent nearly five hours taking questions submitted from Russians in the audience, via email, telephone hotline, and text message. He has participated in the "Direct Line" program almost each year since 2001.When the Direct Line broadcast was over, Putin fielded some questions from journalists including one who asked about a 2011 request Russia's domestic intelligence agency, the FSB, made to the FBI for information on deceased bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev. That request has prompted questions about whether American law enforcement agencies could have done more to identify Tsarnaev and his brother, Dzokhar, before they allegedly carried out the attack on the Boston Marathon.After an initial investigation of Tsarnaev, the FBI asked for more information from Russia in order to allow them to look into him further. Russia did not respond with more information. However, after going to the FBI, the Russian intelligence agencies contacted the CIA and requested they also look into Tsarnaev. Because of these investigations into Tsarnaev, his name was included on two different watch lists. In spite of this, law enforcement agencies were not notified when Tsarnaev took a trip to Russia in 2012 because the birthdate and spelling of his name the FSB had provided to the FBI were both incorrect.Read more at link in title.Meanwhile, key facts have emerged about how Obama's FBI and CIA bungled Russian's repeated attempts to warn us about the two terrorists.Wrong again.Read the part about how the FBI asked for more information from Russia in order to allow them to look into Tsarnaev further, but Russia did not respond with more information. And the part about how law enforcement agencies were not notified when Tsarnaev took a trip to Russia in 2012 because the birthdate and spelling of his name the FSB had provided to the FBI were both incorrect.I guess like every thing else you spout, you pulled that part about Russia's 'repeated attempts to warn us' out of your ***.Note to Clem: I still have you on ignore Puss, but I remembered you saying that the other day, and felt it my duty to point out yet another one of your many lies.I'm sure as usual, you'll classify it as a 'mistake' like you do all of the lies you get caught in.
