IN THE WAKE OF THE ‘WHITEY’ BULGER TRIAL VERDICT, MIKE SAYS: “THE LARGER POINT IS THE COMPLICITY OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND ‘WHITEY’ BULGER BEING ALLOWED TO RUN AMUCK FOR NEARLY 20 YEARS. MY BROTHER WAS A BOSTON POLICE OFFICER, A HOMICIDE COP, MY COUSIN WAS AN FBI AGENT, AND THEY BOTH WOULD ALWAYS RUN INTO OBSTACLES WHEN THEY WERE CLOSE TO GETTING SOMETHING ON ‘WHITEY’ BULGER, WHETHER IT WAS DRUG TRAFFICKING, WHETHER IT WAS MURDER, WHATEVER IT WAS, SOMETHING WOULD HAPPEN. ‘WHITEY’ BULGER WOULD BE TOLD SOMETHING AND HE WOULD DISAPPEAR IN TERMS OF BEING ABLE TO BE CAPTURED. THE FBI WAS COMPLICIT IN HIS CAREER FOR OVER 20 YEARS; A SERIES OF AGENTS [NONE OF WHOM] WERE EVER PUT ON TRIAL.” ON MORNING JOE ON MSNBC.
