Howie Carr/DC: As FBI director in 2002, Special Counsel Robert Mueller directed his agents to oppose the pardons of four wrongfully imprisoned men because exculpatory evidence was merely “fodder for cross-examination,” newly revealed FBI documents show.
Four years later, the four men, or their estates, were awarded $102 million by a federal judge in Boston for their wrongful decades-long imprisonment due to FBI misconduct.
Mueller ordered the Boston FBI office to answer a request to him from the Massachusetts Advisory Board of Pardons for an “official version” of the imprisonment of the four men for a gangland murder in Chelsea MA in March 1965.
The four men – Louie Greco, Henry Tameleo, Peter Limone and Joe Salvati – were convicted in state court in Boston of murdering Edward “Teddy” Deegan, a small-time hoodlum, in an alley during a bank burglary.
Within days of the murder, Boston FBI agents knew the identities of the actual murderers, and reported the information to J. Edgar Hoover in Washington. But they allowed a Mob hitman they had flipped, Joseph Barboza, to settle some old scores by falsely testifying that the four men had taken part in the gangland murder he had helped arrange with others.
In 2002, lawyers for one of the innocent men, Louie Greco, were seeking a posthumous pardon for him from the state of Massachusetts. Greco, a decorated World War II veteran, had been living in Florida at the time of the murder, but was nevertheless convicted on Barboza’s perjured testimony. more here
Stop picking on GWB’s men! Obama surely promoted some bad guys.
Meanwhile, our worthless bag-o-piss AG is nowhere to be found.
There was a day when juries would believe anything a GMan said. Fortunately those days are over.
The reputation wasn’t damaged by DJT it was self inflicted.
What is the worst part of this story is that no one is really surprised at Mueller’s conduct.
I hope the 311 assistant US Attorneys Sessions just hired are going to be put to good use. Like Prosecuting the swamp. Including Mueller and company.

I defy every smelly democrat to come forward and
DENY
that Mueller’s obvious criminality
DISQUALIFIES
him as special counsel.
I’d like to hear scheiskopfen

Lousy Puhlousy.
Unimpeachable integrity on display…
Hey Loco, I found a picture that would go well with your avatar.

The FBI is not about investigation, it’s about “getting” people.
On the contrary Vy-Count, Mueller’s obvious criminality IS his qualification.
I mentioned in an earlier post about these “Special council’s” and the list of their criminal misconduct. Why do they go unpunished and allowed to continue doing the same jobs? I guess nobody will hold them to account.
If things go south in this country these guys are exactly the types to be dragged into the streets and beaten to death.
This is more fallout from the Whitey Bulger bullshit that Mueller was neck deep in. Mueller suppressed the evidence because it showed what a bent scumbag he was and is.
Our AG is a total wuss who is unable to organize a file drawer!
I think I recall Mark Levin talking about this case on the radio a couple of months back. If not this case it was a similar one when Mueller was in Ma.
