Lawyers Seek Release of Tsarnaev’s Friend

Can you believe that lawyers are painting Robel Phillipos, the third man in the trio that knowingly threw Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s back-pack into the trash in an attempt to destroy evidence and LIED to the FBI 3-times are painting him as a”… conscientious and civic-minded young man”
What planet are they living on? These 3 abettors could have alerted the FBI as soon as they recognized that Dzhokhar was one of the Terrorist Bombers and could have possibly saved the live of MIT Police Officer Sean Collier and prevented the severe wounding of Transit Policeman and Academy classmate of Sean, Richard Donohue.
Azamat Tazhayakov and Dias Kadyrbayev, both on Student Visas from Kazakhstan, were in the US illegally.
” Tazhayakov left school and returned to Kazakhstan in December, which terminated his student visa status. Yet, he was mistakenly allowed to return to the U.S. in January.”
“UMass Dartmouth says Kadyrbayev is no longer a student there. His profile on the VK Russian social network site says he is a member of the class of 2015 at the School of Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. However, Sara McDonnell, assistant media relations manager at MIT, said, “There is no registered MIT student of that name.”
“The three men returned to the New Bedford apartment and watched news reports. Kadyrbayev said they decided as a group around 10 p.m. to put the backpack and fireworks in the trash, the affidavit says.”
Actions have consequences, and all three of these perps need to pay the price for both their inaction and their overt action.
Cambridge man held in bomb case seeks release
Advocates say charges against him are ‘refutable’
Robel Phillipos graduated from Cambridge Rindge and Latin High School in 2011.
Advocates for a 19-year-old Cambridge man charged with lying to federal investigators after the Boston Marathon bombings are calling on a federal judge to release him from jail Monday, saying he had “nothing to do” with the deadly attack.
In court documents filed Saturday, his lawyers and supporters said Robel Phillipos is a conscientious and civic-minded young man and that the authorities’ allegations that he gave conflicting accounts to them is “refutable.” He has a detention hearing Monday in US District Court in Boston.
“This case is about a frightened and confused 19-year-old who was subjected to intense questioning and interrogation, without the benefit of counsel, and in the context of one of the worst attacks against the nation,” lawyers Derege B. Demissie and Susan B. Church of Cambridge said in court documents.
“The weight of the federal government under such circumstances can have a devastatingly crushing effect on the ability of an adolescent to withstand the enormous pressure and respond rationally.”
Federal investigators charged Phillipos on Wednesday in US District Court in Boston, saying he gave conflicting versions of events until he admitted that he and two friends went to the dorm room of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the surviving suspected bomber, the night of April 18, three days after the Marathon bombings killed three people and injured 264 others.
The two friends, Dias Kadyrbayev and Azamat Tazhayakov, 19-year-old students from Kazakhstan, were also charged Wednesday with conspiring to obstruct justice for allegedly taking a backpack, empty fireworks, and other items from Tsarnaev’s dorm room that night. The three friends then returned to the Kazakh men’s off-campus apartment in New Bedford.
According to authorities, Phillipos said the Kazakh men then realized from a CNN report that Tsarnaev was one of the suspected bombers and “started to freak out.” Phillipos, according to court records, told authorities that Kadyrbayev asked if he should throw away the backpack. Authorities said Phillipos said, “Do what you have to do.”
Of the three friends, Phillipos is facing the longest possible incarceration — up to eight years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine. Kadyrbayev and Tazhayakov are facing up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine; their lawyers have said they had nothing to do with the bombing.
On Saturday, Phillipos’s lawyers said in court records that Phillipos was at UMass Dartmouth — where all four men had studied — only by coincidence on April 18. At that time, the lawyers said, Phillipos had not had contact with Tsarnaev or the other two men for more than two months.
“By sheer coincidence and bad luck, he was invited to attend a seminar on campus on April 18,” the night the three friends allegedly went to Tsarnaev’s dorm room, according to the court records. “As such, he did not have much to offer the authorities regarding the investigation of the suspect.”
Phillipos enrolled at UMass Dartmouth in 2011 with Tsarnaev, majoring in marketing, but took a leave of absence in December. He was seeking an internship at the time of his arrest, according to court records.
To support the request for bail, lawyers filed multiple affidavits from friends and relatives of Phillipos, including a Wellesley College art professor, the owner of a limousine business, and a Harvard Kennedy School program administrator.
In the affidavits, supporters described Phillipos as a considerate, thoughtful and friendly young man, the son of a single mother who immigrated to the United States from Ethiopia.
Phillipos is bilingual in Amharic and English and proud of his Ethiopian heritage, they said, but he was born and raised in Massachusetts and well-integrated into American life. He attended school, played in soccer and basketball leagues, and idolized Lakers star Kobe Bryant. He loves American history and literature.
He is the only son of Genet Bekele, a domestic violence specialist who moved to Massachusetts in 1981 and raised him while working two jobs. She earned three college degrees: an associate’s degree, a bachelor’s degree in political science from Northeastern University, and a master’s degree in social work from Boston University.
She became a naturalized US citizen in 1996 and has helped many other immigrants and refugees adjust to the United States.
In an affidavit on behalf of her son, Bekele said she was deeply involved in his life despite her work schedule. She said she attended all teacher conferences, chaperoned field trips, and made sure he did his homework every night.
In return, she said, her son helped her. He washed dishes, did the laundry, and went grocery shopping.
“With every opportunity he had, Robel has always tried to make things easier on me,” she said in the affidavit. “He was very cognizant of the hard work that I had to put in being a single parent.”
She said Phillipos was an honor student in his first two years at Cambridge Rindge and Latin School, graduating in 2011 with Tsarnaev, an immigrant from the former Soviet Union who also grew up in Cambridge.
Phillipos served on the Cambridge Mayor’s Program, tutoring younger students, and on the Cambridge Kids’ Council as recently as 2010. On his resume, he said he lobbied to pass a bill that would lower the voting age to 17 in Massachusetts.
His mother said Phillipos wants nothing more than to clear his name. As US citizens of Ethiopian descent, she said, they look forward to the Marathon every year. The bombings, she said, were “devastating.”
This year’s male winner was Lelisa Desisa, 23, of Ethiopia.

Our government is lying to us. The reason Barack Hussein Obama began his strategy of “Blame” over “Sequestration” is because he knows that the economic collapse of the US economy is coming and he needs a scapegoat! His “full court press” in the media is perpetuating his grievous “lie” that an “Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny” Sequestration cut will cause catastrophic damage to our economy.

Now it looks like Obama and his Thugs miscalculated on Sequestration. They have been using the imminent implementation of Sequestration to conspire with their media minions in attempting to coerce the Republicans to once again cave to Community organizer’s wicked lying propaganda rants that have increased in volume and intensity as we approach the February 1st implementation.

Al Qaeda’s expansion in Libya, following the successful terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate and CIA annex in Benghazi on Sept. 11, is part of a long-term plan by Al Qaeda senior leadership, according to a seasoned counterterrorism investigator.
Former CIA Director David Petraeus has agreed to testify about the Libya terror attack before the House and Senate intelligence committees, Fox News has learned. Petraeus had originally been scheduled to testify this Thursday on the burgeoning controversy over the deadly Sept. 11 attack. That appearance was scuttled, though, after the director abruptly resigned over an extramarital affair.

Fox News has learned from sources who were on the ground in Benghazi that an urgent request from the CIA annex for military back-up during the attack on the U.S. Consulate and subsequent attack several hours later was denied by officials in the CIA chain of command — who also told the CIA operators twice to “stand down” rather than help the ambassador’s team when shots were heard at approximately 9:40 p.m. in Benghazi on Sept. 11.
