Was he about to snitch on Mueller?

Maybe the “murder” was someone telling him Trump was going to pardon him before Christmas - the old ticker couldn’t take it....

It is my hope that Bulger had a failsafe, that it he were murdered, info and proof against Mueller will automatically be disseminated, if it does exist.

Long-term connection to FBI, allegations re MK-ULTRA, and his killers could have waited weeks/months for the same thing.

The Russian Uranium guy a couple weeks ago...

Our domestic enemies are really worried about their big electoral losses next week.

The Stories my S-I-L tells me are beyond belief. Every day is an adventure. Scary stuff and what makes it worse is that she is dealing with Illegal Invaders, not Homegrown Criminals.

I learned one thing, never underestimate the power of Evil combined with Human Ingenuity.

I have no idea how she handles it, but she is one tough cookie. No way I could do what she does.

Ironically Howe just held a "Death Pool" for Whitey earlier this week or late last week.

Given all of the people he killed or had killed, coupled with all of the mobsters he "ratted out", it comes as no surprise. It's amazing the guy wasn't killed long before now.

“Mueller had something to do with letting Bukger stay free for a very long time”

Yup. Now I remember. And you just know that there’s some stink on Mueller as a result of that relationship. I hate to think...

The mobster Robert Mueller protected by deliberately, knowingly keeping four innocent men in prison, despite conclusive evidence that they were innocent.

Timing seems suspicious to me. Especially since he was in the process of being moved again. I wonder what dirt he had on Muehler.

Maybe Mueller had something to do with his death.

Maximum security penetentiary

Not a camp

Whitey was third murder at the facility in 2018

Scores of non lethal assaults so far

A rock and roll joint

Whitey was in Seg and being transferrrd to medical attention when he got booked

My guess is it was the conclusion of an old Patriarca vendetta

Contracted maybe to an AB

Oh, man. Betty Davis could be so sarcastically funny. Good to see you bring her up.
