Hoosierman posted an excellent story about the (what is the polite term for conspiracy to obstruct justice?) Ibragim Todashev slaying.

In the case of Edward "Teddy" Deegan the FBI covered up the truth for over 30 years. They never did come clean and were it not for a pit bull of a journalist named Dan Rea (now a talk radio host) we might not have ever learned the truth.
Truth is sometimes uglier than fiction. In 1968, the FBI framed four innocent men to protect their informant, crime boss Joe Barboza. If this all sounds familiar, the FBI would later conspire with and murder for another Boston crime boss, Whitey Bulger. If you ever read up on the Bulger fiasco and it is stated that Whitey was mishandled or that he simply outwitted his FBI godfathers, put the page down and read something more truthful. The FBI orchestrated the Barboza scandal(s) and they helped choreograph Whitey's crimes years later.
By the way, the Barboza case reached the highest level of FBI cooperation. J. Edgar Hoover knew that innocent people were sent away to aid and abet and bolster and defend Barboza.
In 2007 a federal judge leveled a $101 million verdict against the FBI.
