MIKE ABOUT FORMER MOB BOSS JAMES ‘WHITEY’ BULGER, SAYS: HE WAS ABSOLUTELY A SNITCH. HE GAVE UP PEOPLE ALL ALONG THE WAY—HE GAVE UP PEOPLE WHILE HE WAS RUNNING HIS OWN MOB IN BOSTON, HE GAVE UP PEOPLE IN THE MAFIA, WHICH THE FBI WAS OBSESSED WITH FOR YEARS. THEY THOUGHT THAT JIM BULGER AND STEPHEN FLEMMI AND OTHERS OF HIS CREW COULD HELP THEM GET INTO LA COSA NOSTRA. THEY DIDN’T CARE WHAT JIM BULGER WAS DOING ON THE SIDE. THERE ARE SEVERAL FBI AGENTS—FORMER FBI AGENTS—WHO WERE COMPLICIT IN ALLOWING JAMES ‘WHITEY’ BULGER TO CONDUCT BUSINESS AS USUAL—KILLING, MURDERING PEOPLE, DRUG DEALING, EXTORTION. THEY KNEW IT AND THEY ALLOWED IT.” ON HARDBALL WITH CHRIS MATTHEWS ON MSNBC.
