Did Robert Mueller, the special counsel who is currently trying to frame President Donald Trump, take part in a much earlier FBI frame up that sent four innocent men to prison for more than 30 years, and resulted in an eventual settlement of more than $100 million for false imprisonment?
The answer appears to be yes. This is not Mueller’s first frame up.
Another prominent Bostonian, Harvery Silverglate, has another endearing tale about Robert Mueller.
Silverglate describes an effort by Mueller to entrap him on a perjury charge with no just cause.
He also recounts a second glorious meeting with Robert Mueller involving the high profile case of Dr. Jeffrey R. MacDonald in which Mueller would not discuss or consider FBI misconduct.
And superstar journalist, Sara Carter, has connected a few dots that were not that hard to connect.
Special Counsel Robert Mueller III and Whitey Bulger
James ‘Whitey’ Bulger: a notorious gangster and murderer from Boston, who was also a long time confidential informant of the FBI.
During the 1980s, Mueller served as an assistant US attorney and then as the acting US attorney in Boston. The FBI was under his supervision during the time Bulger was an informant.
Former FBI Special Agent John Connolly, who is now in prison for racketeering and murder-related charges, had been the handler for James ‘Whitey’ Bulger. He allegedly tipped off Bulger that one of his business associates was going to testify against him. Bulger had his associate murdered.
Bulger was a confidential informant for the FBI since 1975 and escaped arrest by the FBI in the 90s after his FBI handler informed Bulger an arrest was imminent. He was on the run for 16 years and captured in 2011. Mueller was then director of the FBI.
In 1965 four men were convicted of a murder that the FBI later learned they did not commit. Three of the men faced death sentences.
The FBI had learned during the time Bulger was an informant that the men did not commit the murders. The men served decades in prison and two of them died in prison.
A jury trial revealed that the FBI had known the men were innocent but withheld the evidence from state law enforcement authorities.
In 2007, a jury awarded more than $101 million in damages to the surviving men and their families.
However, during the time the men were in prison Mueller wrote multiple letters to the parole and pardons board opposing clemency for the four men. Mueller never answered questions as to what he knew about the case or if he was aware of the men’s innocence, as reported extensively by Kevin Cullen, a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer with the Boston Globe.
In 2013, Bulger went on trial for 32 counts of racketeering, money laundering and extortion. He was also indicted on weapons charges and 19 counts of murder.
==========================================================================
Emphasis was added to the above because conspiring to obstruct evidence by knowingly keeping four innocent men is not just a boatload of felonies, it is about as evil as evil gets.
Carter might have her details wrong about Bulger and the 1965 wrongful conviction of four innocent men. One, I think the FBI knew from the onset that the four men were innocent.
Two, some of the principles get recycled but Whitey Bulger was not a significant underworld figure in 1965. He would later work/conspire with at least one FBI agent who knew of the wrongful conviction and later aided/abetted/served Bulger throughout his reign of terror. The agent in question being, H. Paul Rico.
Also, the motives for convicting and falsely imprisoning the four innocent men were the very worst of reasons. They were protecting a gangster who was the real killer.

Despite the constancy of propaganda promoting our wondrous legal system, it is perhaps the rottenest of all our institutions. If Bob Mueller knowingly kept innocent people in prison to protect the bureau, there should be some sort of consequence. Statutes of limitation make convictions impossible but why has he been allowed to practice law or keep receiving his pension?
Mueller is a bad apple.
