The Boston Marathon bomber’s family was flown into America - and is staying here courtesy of the good old American taxpayer.

As the penalty phase of the trial of convicted Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev proceeds, survivors of the bombing, as well as many others, are outraged to have learned that his family members have already been flown into America and are being housed at a Hampton Inn near Boston under police and FBI protection.

Boston Fox News has investigated this travesty 

The family of the convicted marathon bomber is in America, on your tax dollars, and survivors are outraged after learning the news.

As of Thursday, family members of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev have been staying at the Hampton Inn in Revere under very tight security, just one of the things tax dollars are paying for. FOX25's Sharman Sacchetti investigated how much this trip is costing you.

Sources say these family members are being called as witnesses and not only that, at least three agencies are working around the clock to protect and transport them. This is all part of the defense team's strategy to save Tsarnaev. While it's unclear when their flight started, we know the last part of it came through Amsterdam and landed at Logan Airport and cost nearly $2,500 per person.

The cost to put them up at the Hampton Inn at the government rate: almost $200 per night, per person. And a source says at least three agencies, the FBI, US Marshal's and Revere Police are involved in constant protection.

“I think you're probably talking about $100,000 plus in that neighborhood in terms of security and out of pocket costs associated with travel,” former US attorney Michael Sullivan said.

And that's just for this trip.

Lawyer fees or even what all witnesses during the trial cost is still unclear. One defense witness, Mark Spencer of Arsenal Consulting, charged $375 per hour and billing taxpayers for $150,000.

Governor Charlie Baker said, “It's a federal trial, it's a federal case, the feds ultimately need to make the decisions about this.”

Baker was non-committal about how resources are being used, even state ones.

Even one dollar of resources is an outrage.

Recall, Tsarnaev’s mother’s sputtering rage against America after her son was arrested and while the trial progressed ( a snippet: “Americans are the terrorists”?) This bombing happened after the Marathon Bomber brothers had been welcomed into America and after years of receiving welfare and food stamps, again courtesy of American taxpayers.

It has been reported that after his arrest, Tsamaev noticed a security camera in the police station that was holding him. He responded with a one-finger gesture to the camera.

Now it seems as if American leadership is doing the same to not just the survivors and not just taxpayers but every thinking, feeling, sane American.
