EDITOR'S NOTE - Sean Gannon is still not available to be directly interviewed, so for Part XV former World Welterweight Champion and UFC Hall of Famer Pat Miletich will be stepping in. #JusticeForGannon



Kirik Jenness - Thanks for helping out Pat. How did you become involved?



Pat Miletich - Sean reached out because he was working with Senator Chuck Grassley's whistleblower program. Chuck Grassley is an Iowa Senator, and Sean needed notable people from Iowa to vouch for him. Grassley is Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee (which oversees the FBI) and had previously taken the FBI to task for not being forthcoming about what really happened at the Marathon Bombing. As it happens, Sean's investigation ended up dovetailing with a separate investigation I was conducting, and I became more and more involved.



KJ - What kind of investigation were you involved in?



PM - I can't discuss it at this time, but it will come out later, and it's heavy stuff.



KJ - What was Sean telling Grassley's Office?



PM - Among other things, he was telling them that anyone saying Tamerlan Tsarnaev hadn't been an FBI asset was lying to them, and that there were a lot of other things the FBI wasn't being honest with Congress about.



KJ - Can you get into details?



PM - To do that, we're going to have to do a little review of Michele McPhee's new book, Maximum Harm.



It's an example of the kind of real investigative journalism that just isn't done by the blow-dried cardboard cutouts masquerading as reporters nowadays. They're just here to tell you how to think, not to find out real facts and real stories. I urge anyone that wants to know the real story about happened at the Marathon Bombing to buy this book.



For one thing, it appears the Boston FBI office has been continuing their tradition of protecting extremely dangerous informants (guys like Whitey Bulger) at the expense of the people they're supposed to protect. She talks about a suspect with links to Tamerlan Tsarnaev arrested a few months after the Marathon Bombing in a double domestic with a handgun, an assault rifle, explosives matching the exact signature of the Marathon bombs and part of the box to the exact model of pressure cooker used in the bombing. He had the formula to make thermite written on the box, equipment to make thermite, and plans to blow up an airliner. Guess where he is right now?



KJ - A Federal Supermax prison?



PM - No, he's walking around free as a bird right now, not even prosecuted.



KJ - Jesus!



PM - Yeah, seems to happen quite a bit for him too, here is a picture of him robbing a store in Cambridge at gunpoint shortly before MIT Police Officer Sean Collier was murdered. If you watch the whole tape, he's with a guy that appears to be Dzokhar Tsarnaev.







The Tsarnaevs never had the training to build those bombs, and the Feds served two warrants on the Tsarnaev house and couldn't find traces of the bomb-making materials. This guy was a smart kid that worked at MIT, he was the one capable of building the bombs. They kept him locked up in a mental hospital while the Tsarnaev trial was going on so he couldn't spill the beans, and now he's walking around without a care in the world. This is an extremely dangerous play by the Feds...he got the equipment for the thermite from his father's new company. His father's old job? He worked for the Laboratory of Nuclear Science at MIT with access to all kinds of dangerous materials. Slightly different timing and we could have easily eaten a dirty bomb. Heck, we still could, he worked on that campus for years and they don't always have the best security against guys that already know the ins and outs of a campus.



KJ - Jesus! Any other shockers?



PM - Turns out, Kenny Conley, the hero cop from that terrible friendly fire incident Sean talked about in Interview 3 was assigned to the Joint Terrorism Task Force during the bombing. If you saw the scene in the Patriots Day movie where Wahlberg was nearly killed by friendly fire in his unmarked vehicle during the Watertown shootout, that was actually something that happened to Conley. A lot of very strange things happened during the Marathon incident, and afterward Conley was quietly flown to the White House for a private meeting with the President and given a medal for reasons that remain unspecified.



KJ - Jesus!



PM - Yeah, a lot of really strange things went down, and when Sean started talking about Kenny Conley, friendly fire, and the state withholding evidence from the defense, they figured he knew everything and was threatening to spill the beans. That's why they reacted the way they did. But they overreached when they took his civilian License To Carry and civilian firearm, because now he gets to sue them personally and all kinds of ugly facts are going to come out. Get out the popcorn because things are about to get VERY interesting!



KJ - It wasn't interesting before?



PM - Oh, this goes on and on, it's like there is no bottom to this thing. Their ugly series of cover-ups here is actually just to cover up even WORSE things they've done in the past, and it's all coming out. When they took his badge and gun and relieved him of duty, they freed him to pursue this full time. He's now devoted himself to investigating the real story behind the murder of Sean Collier, the terror cells operating in the Cambridge/Watertown/Waltham area and their supporting drug networks. I told him he's out of his mind to do this alone, unarmed, and without the support of his organization but he's determined to see justice done.
