Boston Marathon bombing

Every mention, in time. Each mark is a day — taller means more that day — and links to the moment.

Tim’s take

His recurring claim, repeated across years of episodes, is that the FBI knew the Tsarnaev brothers beforehand and either recruited them or was in the process of doing so, then lied about it after the bombing 37:40 13:45 53:24 1:02:10 27:45. He keeps returning to the same specific detail as proof: agents interrogating a friend of the brothers at his home, unsearched, who ends up shot dead, which Tim treats as evidence of a cover-up rather than a coincidence 1:33:03 1:02:10 27:45. He also cites classified special administrative measures placed on the case as further evidence something is being hidden 22:59.

He groups it with 9/11 and Oklahoma City as one of the "not shady" attacks the public was told not to question, using it as his go-to example whenever the conversation turns to the FBI's history of running informants into extremist plots 23:36 44:08. Occasionally it's just a punchline, like offering a fake Patreon article about it as small talk for the holidays 10:24.
