United States Attorney John H. Durham has kept such a low profile while handling some of the country's most infamous criminal investigations that he once made New Republic magazine's list of Washington's "most powerful, least famous people."
Durham "made his bones," as he would say, prosecuting mobsters, corrupt federal agents and former Connecticut Gov. John G. Rowland. He's been tapped by United States attorneys general to investigate topics as touchy as alleged torture and coverups during CIA investigations.
The 67-year-old Groton resident, nominated as Connecticut's top federal prosecutor by President Donald Trump and endorsed by Republicans and Democrats alike, has confined most of his public speaking to within the four walls of federal courtrooms.
As the state's U.S. attorney, Durham takes on administration duties over the state's 68 federal prosecutors and 50-odd staff members who work in courthouses in Bridgeport, New Haven and Hartford. He plans to continue trying cases and has a murder trial coming up later this year.
A week after being sworn in, Durham, perhaps realizing that his new role calls for higher visibility, delivered a lecture at the University of St. Joseph in West Hartford, a formerly all-female school that is going all co-ed this year and ratcheting up its criminal justice program.
For about an hour this past Monday, he regaled an audience with an insider's view of the widely publicized investigations that brought down mobsters James "Whitey" Bulger, Stephen "The Rifleman" Flemmi and their corrupted FBI handler, Special Agent John Connolly Jr. It was a case that extended into Connecticut, where gambling venues for the sport jai alai were infiltrated by Bulger's Winter Hill Gang.
Bodies had been piling up in Boston throughout the 1970s and 1980s, and by 1999, after it became clear that members of Boston's FBI bureau had been

He may be from Connecticut, but I am from Missouri. Show me Clapper, Brennan, Comey, Rosenweasel, Strock, Page, both Ohrs, and a host of others in prison jumpsuits, then I will believe he is doing his job. Steyn said it well: if you are in the deep state club, you don’t get prosecuted, all others beware. Don’t hold your breath.
Here’s your clue. The FBI and DOJ let the bodies pile up in Boston from the 70s through ‘99. Very patient they are.....with other people’s lives.
“He may be from Connecticut, but I am from Missouri. Show me Clapper, Brennan, Comey, Rosenweasel...”
Amen.
FBIAS agent in charge of Boston during that time: Robert Mueller.
A lot of childish impatience visible.
Another day, another civilized, erudite seminar lecture!
Sounds like he was tasked with cleaning up after Weissman.
This time maybe he can put Weissman away too.
I want him to tell us, maybe soon I hope, of the scores of people he convicted of trying to overthrow the United States President. And, as a result of that initial investigation, of the hundreds of others associated with the plotters who also went to prison for their various crimes.
“w me Clapper, Brennan, Comey, Rosenweasel, Strock, Page, both Ohrs, and a host of others in prison jumpsuits”
I want to see Her Thighness in a typically Serena designed ugly striped pant suit.
But, but, but. We were told Mueller was “honest” and above the law. Oh. Wait.
It’s a perfect fit. Bull Durham now has his grand daddy of all mobs to prosecute - the Clinton/Oboma Democrat Party - you name it he’s got it, piled up dead bodies, money laundering, shakedowns and all things mobster oriented. If he can bring down this mob, his name will be enshrined in prosecutorial lore for all time.

They watch too much CSI......
