In light of recent events...
Last week, Putin expressed regret that the information they originally shared with the FBI in 2011 about Tamerlan Tsarnaev was not as useful as everyone would have hoped. A wire tapped discussion between Tamerlan's mother, Zubeidat, and what was believed to be one of her sons allegedly discussed Islamic jihad, or holy war. Some in the U.S. Congress asked why Russia did not share that taped conversation with Washington earlier.
Moscow law enforcement expressed concern about Tamerlans radical views and religious ideology, but reportedly did not share more specific information about the secretly recorded phone calls until after the Boston bombings.

There may have been some things that Russia said to the FBI BEFORE the Boston Marathon bombing, and there were things that Russia definitely said it said to the FBI AFTER the bombing.
There's a good chance Russian intelligence and Putinist media were just BS'ing everybody...
But right now, I'm wondering if something else was going on, you get what I'm saying?
Simply, there was no TEN_GOP or Internet Research Agency warning everyone of a potential attack in Boston.

It worked real well for Don the Con.
