As the Dzhokhar Tsarnaev trial barrels ahead, in the third day already unveiling the prosecutions surveillance video and the mystery witness Danny, whose name turns out to be Dun Meng, many questions still remain which point to the existence of a third party, or a third party organization.
The most tantalizing indicator, of course, is that we now know someone, a woman, was with Tamerlan when he bought five pressure cookers at Macys in Boston. The pair were captured in a Macys store surveillance video. Law enforcement is trying to determine if the woman is Katherine Russell, Tamerlans widow, who is now under active investigation.
Ms. Russell, remember, is coincidentally a granddaughter of Skull and Bones, her father being the son of Richard W. Russell, listed in Eric Samuelsons Skull and Bones membership list. And not just Skull and Bones, but possibly a descendant of William Huntington Russell (1809 1885), a co-founder of Skull and Bones, the famous feeder club for the CIA. Skull and Bones CIA alumni include Charles S. Whitehouse, US Ambassador to Laos, George H.W. Bush, William Sloane Coffin, and William F. Buckley.
That is on top of Tamerlans uncle Ruslan just happening to be the son-in-law of CIA, Iran-Contra scoundrel Graham Fuller, yes, that Graham Fuller, and Ruslan himself a USAID cover for CIA. USAID in Chechnya does not hire social workers.
How many crazy coincidences can you have in one crime? Remember the Tsarnaev brothers were pretty much just working class kids. Regardless of whether or not the woman in the Macys video is Russell, the mere exposure of the fact that someone was with Tamerlan, not his brother, leaves a gaping hole in the two-lone-perpetrators theory. Even if it was not Russell, who was it? Will the defense even call attention to the video, and suggest that the brothers were not acting alone?
The video surveillance compilation presented by the prosecution splices still images into various pieces of surveillance video along a timeline, starting from when the suspects round the corner at the Whiskey Steakhouse, to them fleeing down Boylston Street. But it conveniently omits the video segment of a man with an earpiece apparently tracking the brothers around the corner at the Whiskey (at minute 3:20 in this video.)
The promised scene of Dzhokhar setting down his backpack is believable enough, but what is less believable is that the backpack weighs 30 pounds. Dzhokhar handles the backpack as if it contains notebooks and a sandwich, not two 15 pound barbells worth of steel and gunpowder.
Much was made of a still photo allegedly captured by Marathon runner David Green, in which Dzhokhar can be seeing fleeing with the crowd. Greens capture of an image of the suspect was heralded as a stroke of good fortune. Greens oft-told story is that he, a marathon runner finished with the race, caught the shot in a moment of luck after the second bomb went off. But in the video- still photo compilation which is shown to the jury, a photo emerges which is much like Greens but cannot be Greens, because the angle is slightly different. Green never mentioned anything about taking two photos, and in fact told the New York Daily News: It was one shot and it was the shot that counted.
Was someone else taking the photos besides Green? The original Green photo was ridiculed as being a Photoshop job, hiding the backpack, although in the moving video it is clear neither of the brothers have their backpacks. Dzhokhar is in front of a brick wall in the original Green photo, but in the prosecutions current version he is in front of a wooden door.

From Reddit discussion uncovering paramilitary men missing backpacks
Where does this go? A well-known journalist who distrusts the official story told me that the brothers almost certainly were involved on some level. Riding with police and reporters who were there, he said it is just too unlikely that so many police could be collaborating on the basic events of the night, and he opined they were truthful. There was shooting going on back and forth with the brothers, although the officer hit was possibly hit by friendly fire.
Was the plan for the brothers to participate in a drill, and put the backpacks down at a certain time and place? When they saw the jaws of the trap snap shut, did they decide to make a run then go down shooting? It is intriguing that authorities were conducting what was announced as an exercise that morning at the starting line, involving bomb-sniffing dogs and rooftop snipers.
There is a cryptic note presented by the prosecution from Dzhokhar, which said: They will spend their money and they will regret it and then they will be defeated.
Could this have meant the brothers were being paid by handlers? It is important to remember Tamerlan was an alien and had possible deportation at any time to use as a club against him, never to see his daughter again.
The carjack victim, now unmasked as Dun Meng, was certainly convincing enough as a man thinking someone was trying to kill him. Nevertheless it is curious that he has told conflicting stories of his escape from Tamerlan, in one version Tamerlan being in the car, in the drivers seat, when Meng makes a break out the passenger door, in the other Tamerlan being outside the car pumping gas. One would think one would remember a detail like that when you think you are about to die.

That video montage, notably, does not support a repeated contention to the media, by the FBI and Massachusetts Governor Duval Patrick, that Dzhokhar did not react when the first explosion went off, as he clearly suddenly looked in the direction of the blast like everyone else, then fled. Massachusetts Governor Duval Patrick said on Meet the Press in 2013:
The brothers at one point were apparently trying to surrender, but the police were having none of it, as they yelled We didnt do it! from behind their vehicle in the dark in Watertown.
[video=youtube;b4abBDzq3LM]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4abBDzq3LM[/video]
Then there is the strange video which cannot be ignored of a naked man looking very much like Tamerlan in custody, and identified by his aunt as him. A woman who may have changed the mans diapers said without hesitancy: Thats Tamerlan.
Oh yes, and lets not forget that poor chap in Florida, Todashev, Tamerlans friend, who caught three bullets in the back while unarmed and so now will never be able to tell anything he knew.
It is the FBIs own prevarications and this murderous behavior which is most damning. The FBI claimed that it did not know the brothers before April 15, 2013, when in fact it had interviewed them numerous times, along with the family.
Not only did it know them, it let Tamerlan slip to Chechnya in 2012, even as he was on at least two terror watch lists. The FBI attributed the error to a name misspelling somewhere along the line, as if an Edward Snowden could elude Homeland Security and leave the country just by misspelling his name on a document.
The FBIs own behavior, as well as other factors like the clear attempt to kill Dzhokhar and never let him see trial, points to the brothers being involved as patsies of some sort, perhaps playing secret agent, and being told to be at certain places at certain times. Some have pointed out that the bombs were fairly sophisticated, in their power and destructiveness, and were likely beyond the reach of an amateur bomb-maker.

The murder of Sean Collier is not cleared up much by the video presented by the prosecution, which shows two men, who are not identifiable in the video because of the dark and great distance, approaching Colliers patrol car and killing him. An MIT student witness, Nathan Harman, in his testimony alternately switched from the pronoun he to they, according to CNN.
....
An inconvenient moment of candor took place when MIT police Sargent Clarence Henniger, who was the first on the scene of the Collier shooting, revealed in an interview with Bostons WBUR radio that FBI agents were already watching the house in which Tamerlan lived in Cambridge even before he was identified Thursday night, four days after the bombing. Four days had elapsed before the Bureau released the first surveillance photos of the suspects and asked the public for help in identifying them. Henniger said:

Even if we lay those issues to rest, and grant the prosecutions assertion that the brothers had backpacks and put them down, so did other men, never adequately explained by the police, nor what they were doing running away without their backpacks also. Then the stubborn fact that neither of the brothers backpacks match the one released by police in a photo, showing a square logo on the top flap. The brothers backpacks were also a different color from the one shown by police.From Reddit discussion uncovering paramilitary men missing backpacks

As well, the defense, if you can call it that, would be remiss to not, at the very least, subpoena cellphone records just to confirm that it was Tamerlan that Dzhokhar was talking to four minutes before the first bomb went off, as shown in the prosecutors surveillance montage.That video montage, notably, does not support a repeated contention to the media, by the FBI and Massachusetts Governor Duval Patrick, that Dzhokhar did not react when the first explosion went off, as he clearly suddenly looked in the direction of the blast like everyone else, then fled. Massachusetts Governor Duval Patrick said on Meet the Press in 2013:
The videotape is not something Ive seen, its been described to me, in my briefings, but It does seem to be pretty clear that this suspect took the backpack off, put it down, did not react when the first explosion went off and then moved away from the backpack in time for the second explosion. Its pretty clear about his involvement and pretty chilling, frankly, as it was described to me.
There also remain the facts that:
The brothers at one point were apparently trying to surrender, but the police were having none of it, as they yelled We didnt do it! from behind their vehicle in the dark in Watertown.
[video=youtube;b4abBDzq3LM]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4abBDzq3LM[/video]
That the existence of the incriminating note in the boat Dzhokhar was hiding in was announced a full month after the capture, even as the media reported every other incriminating detail. On this score it is only a matter of time before a true handwriting sample from Dzhokhar surfaces and Internet sleuths will compare the handwriting. Then there is the strange video which cannot be ignored of a naked man looking very much like Tamerlan in custody, and identified by his aunt as him. A woman who may have changed the mans diapers said without hesitancy: Thats Tamerlan.
Oh yes, and lets not forget that poor chap in Florida, Todashev, Tamerlans friend, who caught three bullets in the back while unarmed and so now will never be able to tell anything he knew.

Four days had elapsed before the Bureau released the first surveillance photos of the suspects and asked the public for help in identifying them. Henniger said:
The word was out regarding the suspects. We knew that his house was under surveillance, and the feds were all over the city of Cambridge.
The FBI found this admission alarming enough to issue an official denial of Hennigers claim, saying, No one was surveilling the Tsarnaevs and they were not identified until after the shootout. Any claims to the contrary are false. But when pressed, Henniger stuck to his story, saying to some degree Im sure [the FBI] knew....
