We are very familiar with the ever changing official story with regard to the Boston bombings. It has contradicted itself at each and every turn with the only consistent element being: It has never been consistent.
Authorities have refused to explain their inconsistencies to anyone who has enquired citing numerous excuses ranging from 'not wanting to prejudice a potential trial' to 'national security issues' and everything imaginable in between.
One of those questions has been 'Did authorities know the identity of the alleged bombers prior to the shootout?'
Their answer?

Their answer?
To be absolutely clear: No one was surveilling the Tsarnaevs and they were not identified until after the shootout. Any claims to the contrary are false.

The problem here is that more and more members of the public are beginning to question that - a situation created entirely by authorities' own duplicitous statements over the last six months. Not only are the public questioning the candor of authorities but several government officials have now extended that courtesy too. Furthermore, the number of those officials appears to be growing by the day adding to an already tarnished Boston marathon bombing investigation.
Some of the latest revelations have serious implications for one aspect of the investigation in particular, the murder of MIT officer Sean Collier. Investigating authorities claim Tamelrlan and Dzhokhar Tsarneav (who has been charged with his murder) killed Collier by shooting him in the head at close range whilst he was sat in his patrol car on the MIT campus on the night of 18th April 2013

At the time of the murder the MIT campus itself was overrun with multiple teams of undercover FBI agents secretly patrolling the grounds and buildings: yet they neglected to inform anyone of this fact including all law enforcement agencies local to Boston.
Under such circumstances one may rightfully ask why Collier's murder was not
prevented in the first instance, or why the suspects were not apprehended in the
minutes after the crime itself.
Senator Chuck Grassley has been instrumental in calling for detailed answers to
these very questions and made the following statement noting the details of the
FBI presence on campus that night.
"In the hours leading up to the shooting of Collier and the death of the older suspect involved in the bombing, sources revealed that uniformed Cambridge Police Department officers encountered multiple teams of FBI employees conducting surveillance in the area of Central Square in Cambridge. It is unclear who the FBI was watching, but these sources allege the Cambridge Police Department, including its representation at the (Joint Terrorism Task Force), was not previously made aware of the FBI's activity in Cambridge."

So we ask again:
Is there anything you would like to tell us, gentlemen?
Thought not.
Richard Deslauriers, the Special Agent in charge during the marathon bombings has
also entered the fray and stated:
'Any suggestion that the FBI is somehow to blame for Collier's death is irresponsible'
Under the circumstances, this appears to be an extremely odd comment to make.
No one was suggesting the FBI were responsible for Collier's death

So, once again:
Mr Deslauries, is there anything you would care to reveal to us also?
Who shot Sean Collier?
The public await your reply. And the silence is deafening.
