And it begins....
On CNN, Cuomo is interviewing TWO family attorneys representing the Farooq family, apparently.
One lawyers last name was Chelsey, I believe. He is bobbing and weaving, deflecting, dancing....trying really had to start rumors...
[paraphrasing his words}
" None of this makes sense---the facts don't add up...This woman weighed about 95 pounds...she could not shoot a big rifle like that....She probably couldn't even lift it ....they had no military training....How would they know how to shoot those weapons? It just makes no sense..."
He tried to muddy the waters about the weapons and bombs too :
[paraphrased]
" No one ever saw Sayed with any weapons or pipe bombs. No one ever saw anything like that in their possession...No one ever saw either of them being aggressive or expressing extremist views....it is just not believable...And I spent the last three hours with the FBI---they have NOTHING which connects them to any terrorists or terrorist communications....NOTHING..."
the lawyer kind of tripped up once though. He said something about them not being able to shoot and not being trained in military skills...then he said something like :
[paraphrased]
" ....and both of them were found face down, handcuffed...how could they have shot at the police if they were restrained>?"
The problem is, we all saw the videos of her shooting from the car. She was not handcuffed...NICE TRY Mr Attorney....
