Apparently, he has been on the job for weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Durham is the perfect investigator for the job by all accounts and he had experience with Robert Mueller in the Whitey Bulger case. He did not side with Mueller and Mueller\u2019s agents suffered the consequences of Mueller\u2019s, some would say, corrupt leadership.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>THE WHITEY BULGER CASE<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Back in the late 1990s, there were \u201callegations that FBI informants James \u2018Whitey\u2019 Bulger and Stephen \u2018The Rifleman\u2019 Flemmi had corrupted their handlers.<\/p>\n<p>So, in 1999, Janet Reno appointed John Durham as Special Prosecutor and charged him with investigating FBI corruption in Boston.<\/p>\n<p>As it turned out, FBI agents aided mass murderer, Whitey Bulger and hid his crimes. Bulger was a protected informant.<\/p>\n<p>Durham sent one agent involved to prison for 10 years.<\/p>\n<p>Then-US Attorney, Robert Mueller is probably the one who should have landed in the pen. He allowed four innocent men to be sent to prison for a murder he knew they didn\u2019t commit. \u00a0He did it to protect Bulger.<\/p>\n<p>One of the four men was in Florida at the time of the murder and could not have committed the murder.<\/p>\n<p>When Durham went through the documents. He found that the four men,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Enrico_Tameleo\">Enrico Tameleo<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Joseph_Salvati&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1\">Joseph Salvati<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Peter_J._Limone&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1\">Peter J. Limone<\/a>, and\u00a0Louis Greco, had actually been framed.<\/p>\n<p>Four people who were innocent were kept in jail for years in order to protect the status of Whitey Bulger as an FBI informant.<\/p>\n<h3>The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www3.bostonglobe.com\/metro\/1970\/01\/19\/one-lingering-question-for-fbi-director-robert-mueller\/613uW0MR7czurRn7M4BG2J\/story.html?arc404=true\">Boston Globe<\/a>\u00a0wrote:<\/h3>\n<p>\u201c[Mike] Albano [former Parole Board Member who was threatened by two F.B.I. agents for considering parole for the men imprisoned for a crime they did not commit] was appalled that, later that same year, Mueller was appointed FBI director, because it was Mueller, first as an assistant US attorney then as the acting U.S. attorney in Boston, who wrote letters to the parole and pardons board throughout the 1980s opposing clemency for the four men framed by FBI lies. Of course, Mueller was also in that position while Whitey Bulger was helping the FBI cart off his criminal competitors even as he buried bodies in shallow graves along the Neponset\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In December 2000, Durham revealed secret FBI documents that convinced a judge to vacate the 1968 murder convictions of \u201dfour other FBI informants because they\u2019d been framed by Robert Mueller\u2019s FBI.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn 2007,\u201d to help protect Whitey Bulger (that\u2019s what all those people were held in jail for) \u201cthe documents helped Salvati, Limone, and the families of the two other men who had died in prison to\u00a0win a US $101.7 million civil judgment against the government.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Durham got the two surviving framed men released from prison.<\/p>\n<p>Robert Mueller was knee-deep in this scandal, along with Andrew Weissman and the agent sent to prison, but because Reno gave him very limited authority, Durham was not able to prosecute Mueller, who was not in the FBI at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Mueller kept four innocent people in jail for years to protect the informant status of Whitey Bulger, a mass-murdering Boston mobster who ended up dying in California, and it ended up costing the government $100 million plus in civil judgments.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>ALAN DERSHOWITZ CALLED MUELLER A \u201cZEALOT\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz, calling Mueller a \u201czealot,\u201d he\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsmax.com\/politics\/alan-dershowitz-mueller-political-zealot\/2018\/04\/08\/id\/853235\/\">reminded Mueller supporters\u00a0<\/a>about the former FBI director\u2019s role in protecting \u201cnotorious mass murderer\u201d Whitey Bulger as an FBI informant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think Mueller is a zealot,\u201d Dershowitz told\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/omny.fm\/shows\/cats-interviews\/alan-dershowitz-4-8-18\">\u201cThe Cats Roundtable\u201d<\/a>\u00a0on 970 AM-N.Y. \u201c. . . I don\u2019t think he cares whether he hurts Democrats or Republicans, but he\u2019s a partisan and zealot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s the guy who kept four innocent people in prison for many years in order to protect the cover of Whitey Bulger as an FBI informer. Those of us in Boston don\u2019t have such high regard for Mueller because we remember this story. The government had to pay out tens of millions of dollars because Whitey Bulger, a notorious mass murderer, became a government informer against the mafia . . .<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd that\u2019s regarded in Boston of one of the great scandals of modern judicial\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsmax.com\/politics\/alan-dershowitz-mueller-political-zealot\/2018\/04\/08\/id\/853235\/\">history<\/a>. And Mueller was right at the center of it. So, he is not without criticism by people who know him in Boston.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>HOW DID MUELLER BECOME THE SPECIAL PROSECUTOR?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>There were other cases in which Mueller behaved scandalously,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.independentsentinel.com\/real-robert-mueller-exposed-as-corrupt-even-as-senate-votes-to-protect-him\/\">here<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.independentsentinel.com\/fbis-darkest-days-muellers-term\/\">here<\/a>. Former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Sydney Powell tells the same story. She\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.independentsentinel.com\/former-federal-prosecutor-says-muellers-team-are-creeps-on-a-mission-to-destroy-the-president\/\">calls them creeps on a mission<\/a>\u00a0and has a website of the same name detailing the offenses of Mueller and Weissman.<\/p>\n<p>How did Robert Mueller end up as the Special Prosecutor? Thank a Democrat. The Democrats insisted he was a great man of inviolable character. They said he was the impeccable man and investigator.<\/p>\n<p>There is also the fact that Rod Rosenstein seems to think well of him.<\/p>\n<p>You can be sure there are a lot of people losing sleep knowing Durham is on the case. You might have noticed Rod Rosenstein, the former Deputy Attorney General, is out trashing Jim Comey.<\/p>\n<p>For his part, Jim Comey hasn\u2019t written anything inspirational or anti-Trump on Twitter for four days. He has been giving a lot of public speeches lately. Maybe he should shut up.<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.independentsentinel.com\/barrs-investigator-john-durham-once-probed-mueller-in-a-shocking-case\/\">https:\/\/www.independentsentinel.com\/barrs-investigator-john-durham-once-probed-mueller-in-a-shocking-case\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Barr\u2019s Investigator John Durham Once Probed Mueller in a Shocking Case<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-122679","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122679","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=122679"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122679\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=122679"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=122679"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=122679"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
