Rep. Mike Rogers (R., Mich.) said calls for the Mirandizing of Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were a "horrible idea' on Sunday's "Meet the Press," adding the FBI should be given time to investigate parts of the case that were still potential threats to the general public.
"I do believe that the FBI has a period of time to try to determine what threats are there today," Rogers said. "We don't know if there's other devices, if there's other people, and I think Mirandizing him up front would be a horrible idea. Now it's my understanding that's not going to happen. I had good conversations with the FBI. They are going to do their due diligence on the public safety portion. Here is where the problem is. They're getting pressure from outside groups to actually do the Mirandizing, which is why we ought to let the FBI do their work. They can do an intelligence-based investigation leading up."
