Katherine Russell/Karima Tsarnaeva Still Won’t Talk to FBI – What is She Hiding? Feds Also Think She Tampered w Evidence
It’s looking more and more like Katherine Russell Tsarnaeva a/k/a Karima Tsarnaeva knew about the Boston Marathon terrorist plot cooked up by her husband and brother-in-law. Despite claims by her lawyer that she was cooperating, she still hasn’t talked to the FBI yet, and the FBI can’t get her to agree to an interview. Probably because she’s hiding something. A lot of things. The feds are now discussing subpoenaing Ms. Russell Tsarnaeva, and I wouldn’t be surprised if she asserts the Fifth Amendment.
Like many of you, I believe that Russell Tsarnaeva knew what Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were up to. I don’t believe she didn’t know about the multiple pressure cooker purchases, the planning of the sophisticated attack, the conversations between hubby and jihadist mommy, Zubeidat, and what her husband was doing for six months back in Russia. You’d have to be a moron not to know about any of these things and ask questions . . . no matter how many hours a week you claim to have worked as a home healthcare aide. Now there’s this from today’s Wall Street Journal:
U.S. authorities are investigating up to six associates of the accused Boston bombers to determine if they had any involvement in the plot or in disposing of evidence, U.S. law-enforcement officials briefed on the probe said, as investigators seek to learn more about the alleged attackers’ bomb-making. Chief among those that Federal Bureau of Investigation agents are interested in questioning is Katherine Russell, alleged bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s widow, the officials said.
Officials are discussing a possible subpoena to try to question her, though they would prefer to negotiate a voluntary interview, the officials said. Ms. Russell’s lawyer has said she is “doing everything she can to assist with the investigation.” The lawyer didn’t respond to a request for comment on Sunday.
And there’s this from Saturday’s Wall Street Journal:
Federal agents are still investigating whether Tamerlan’s wife, Katherine Russell, and several associates of the brothers, provided unwitting assistance or knowingly assisted in any part of the alleged plot, officials briefed on the probe said. At least part of the investigation of Ms. Russell and other associates focuses on whether evidence related to the bombing investigation has been tampered with or destroyed, the officials said. . . .
Investigators are still seeking an interview with Ms. Russell. Ms. Russell’s attorney didn’t respond to a request for comment on Friday. A lawyer for Ms. Russell has previously said she is “doing everything she can to assist with the investigation.”
“Doing everything she can”? Riiiight. And if you believe that, I have some land under Boston Harbor to sell you. If you believe she knew nothing about what her relatives by marriage were planning and perpetrating, I can throw in Faneuil Hall in the sale.

The ex-girlfriend of the other brother has stated that he wanted her to be as vehemently as anti-American as he was. She woke up and broke up with him.
This woman knows something. The question is, will she rely on the right to refuse to answer questions regarding what was said in marriage, and does that “spousal immunity” exist since her husband is dead? I would argue that she can be compelled to answer questions about her husband, since he must claim the immunity, not her.
Second, if she has destroyed evidence, she is at least an accomplice after the fact.
I fully expect the government not to indict her, simply because she is a woman.
