Bulger denied being an informant

Taped call cited in immunity hearing

Notorious gangster James “Whitey” Bulger insists he was never an FBI informant, but paid agents for information, according to a jailhouse telephone conversation with his brother last September that was recorded by authorities.

“I bought [expletive] information; I didn’t sell it,” Bulger, 83, said during the Sept. 11, 2012, call to his brother, John, from the Plymouth County Correctional Facility. “I never gave them [expletive] information. Nothin’. Nothin’.”

Comments

Justice is at least a little served as long as Whitey is behind bars.  With this, Billy's legacy is shown for all to see while his corrupt life, too, finally passes away.

It should be of some consolation that neither their family name nor the FBI's shameful conduct will ever be forgiven by a higher authority.

So if he never gave up anything, for what does he think he'd have been granted immunity, as claimed previously?

Very astute observation!

Here's the plan. We grant immunity to the family members of whitey's victims and give them all guns and let them go to his prison cell.....

Although they are all being paid by the U.S. Government, I think their loyalty is to the Vatican.  I mean, look at it:  all Catholics, even Jesuits, including FBI director Louis Freeh and his right hand man Robert Hanssen (who are also members of Opus Dei).  There is a predominance of Roman Catholics in law enforcement and the judiciary in the U.S.  I believe they rationalize their violation of their oaths to uphold the constitution and laws by telling themselves they are answering to a higher power. 

A situation in Colorado looks very similar to the Whitey Bulger story, and that is the secret agreement of John Suthers (currently State Attorney General, but then U.S. Attorney), a Roman Catholic, with other law enforcement participants to free imprisoned serial killer Scott Lee Kimball, who went on to commit at least four other murders. 

We need to ask, in every case, "Who benefits?"  What knowledge did the victims have? 

And we need to follow the money, but no one really investigates, because the investigators are all part of the same crime ring.
