There’s no way in hell they shouldn’t tell all’..
The FBI is closing the book on the agency’s “corrupt” handling of James “Whitey” Bulger — forever.
The feds are refusing to make any further installments of Bulger’s case file public, saying the records are “investigative” and no longer subject to the Freedom of Information Act.
“The records responsive to your request are law enforcement records; there is a pending or prospective law enforcement proceeding relevant to these responsive records, and release of the information could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings. Therefore, your request is being administratively closed,” the FBI stated in a letter to the Herald Monday.
They did not divulge what investigation Bulger’s case could still be linked to, considering the former Southie mobster was murdered while in a West Virginia prison in August 2018 by two fellow inmates. He was 89 and wheelchair-bound at the time of his death.
It has also long been speculated that Bulger hid millions of dollars in foreign bank accounts that have yet to be discovered.
Bulger’s former FBI handler, John “Zip” Connolly, is also back in Massachusetts on a compassionate release and is appealing his case. He was given only years to live.
Other former Winter Hill gang associates — including Stephen “The Rifleman” Flemmi — are alive, but Flemmi’s Florida parole date is set for 2218.
Still, the FBI does not want Bulger’s secret file to “interfere” with whatever case may or may not be percolating, the letter states. The Herald is appealing the decision.
“It’s a joke,” said Steve Davis Wednesday. “There’s no way in hell they shouldn’t tell all. It’s not right to all of the loved ones of victims still looking for answers.”
Davis has fought for victims’ rights ever since his sister, Debra, was reportedly slain by Bulger in 1981 – when Connolly was Whitey’s FBI handler.
Bulger was found guilty in August of 2013 in federal court in Boston for the murder of 11 people, as well as numerous counts of extortion, money laundering, drug dealing, and firearms possession. But he took to his grave the dirty dealings he had with the Boston branch of the FBI when he was killing with impunity.
“The whole thing was corrupt from the get-go,” said Janet Uhlar, a juror on Bulger’s 2013 trial. “They put out a lie. He was never an informant, he bought information from the FBI.”
Uhlar, who added she shared 70 letters with Bulger after the trial, said she still wonders what role the CIA had with the serial killer while he was locked up early in his life and submitted to an LSD experiment.
“His mind was manipulated by the CIA and he shouldn’t have been let out into the public,” she said Wednesday. “The other guys were as dirty as dirty could be.”
In an addendum to the FOIA denial sent to the Herald, the FBI states “Congress excluded three categories of law enforcement and national security records” from the public records law. That includes “records of intelligence sources, methods, or activities.” And, they add, the FBI “can neither confirm nor deny the existence of records pursuant to FOIA exemptions.”
It’s as if Bulger never existed.
“They don’t want to reveal what they have,” Uhlar said, adding sitting on the jury was “disturbing and changed my life forever.”
The limited information the FBI has made public is mostly canned mob work with bookies and fixing horse races. The murders, leaks, double-dealing, life on the lam, and intel possibly gleaned from Bulger once he was caught in Santa Monica, Calif., in June of 2011, will never see the light of day.
He was living with his lover Catherine Greig with $822,198 in cash hidden in the wall inside their apartment. She did time and is now out. Bulger’s secrets, however, remain locked up for eternity, with another appeal as the only hope.
Unaccountable government lies.
It’s what they do.
Anyone who thinks the FBI corruption is a relatively new thing, and just caused by a few rogue agents, has no idea of the history of that organization.
"99.9999% of the agents are GOOD PEOPLE!"
“Anyone who thinks the FBI corruption is a relatively new thing, and just caused by a few rogue agents, has no idea of the history of that organization.”
Perhaps that’s why the founders didn’t include a federal policing force.
Wait, this isn’t Babylon Bee?? !!
Murdered wheelchair-bound mob boss Whitey Bulger, 89, was ‘wheeled away from security cameras by three inmates with mafia ties before they beat him to death with a lock in a sock and gouged his eyes out..
Bulger was about to dish on FBI informant program

When will we realize there is only ONE THING the government does well: KILL.
Defending our borders and our country is why the Constitutional created the federal government in the first place.
STOP THINKING THE FEDS CARE ABOUT YOU!!!
The feds are the chained wolf guarding the henhouse (us and our God-given freedoms) and since the wolf has broken the chain, the wolf itself is the threat to the henhouse.
The Mafia lost the war on crime.
But the criminals won control of the government.
When East German Communist regime fell, the German Government opened the Stasi Records Archive so that everyone could see all the East German regime information collected on them, and who among their colleagues, neighbors and relatives were spying on them
The USA will need the same.
Gay Edgar Hoover collected files on leading political figures so no President dared fire him.
Meanwhile the mob was blackmailing him financing his trysts to New York City and La Costa in Carlsbad, CA.
DC has been a sick circus for a long long time.
Vanity Hannity’s an asshole.
Burgers top hitman, John Martorano, did less than 10 years in prison.
Bulger not Burger. I hate auto-correct.
The Whitey Bulger debacle was one that Robert Mueller was involved in.
You don’t have to use it.

A business associate of Hunter Biden with ties to the Mob and China scored an official visit to the White House under the Obama administration. **SNIP** Visitor records show Bulger met with Anne Marie Person, one of Biden's aides from his stint as Barack Obama's right-hand man, on August 25th of 2016. Before joining the then vice-president's team, Person previously worked for a shadowy investment firm run by Hunter Biden. But it is unclear whether the self-styled fixer managed to secure meetings with any other White House staffers. Bulger has been a regular adviser to the current commander-in-chief's son on...

Li Xueren/Xinhua via APAs more and more information comes to light about Hunter Biden, so do many of the questionable business dealings in which Hunter had engaged. While Burisma has made headlines for the last several years, recently much more has been revealed about Hunter’s engagement in Chinese business dealings – and they’re infinitely more troubling than anything having to do with Ukraine or Burisma. Prior to his tagging along on the Big Guy’s trip to China in December 2013, Hunter Biden and his associates Devon Archer, James Bulger, and Michael Lin had held numerous meetings with executives from Bohai...

They have a Chinese counterpart Solebury Thornton (Beijing) Consulting Co., Ltd., Beijing, China ...

Nothing says cover-up like claiming records about a dead guy are needed for an “investigation”. What are they doing, looking around in some volcano to see if they can find Whitey?
It appears that the Friends of Biden, Incorporated may have had something to do with the assassination of Whitey Bulger...
This of course is bullshit.
I know what Comey and Mueller did to him.
The family, what’s left of us believe it was a hit.
In federal prison.
F’em.
