→Whitey Bulger
Whitey Bulger was convicted at the age of 81 of 19 murders over a lifetime as a [[Boston]] crime boss. The actual number of killings Bulger was responsible for is likely much higher. Bulger was an FBI informant against a rival gang, and later spent sixteen years on the run as number two on the FBI Most Wanted list, behind [[Osama bin Laden]]. Meanwhile, witnesses and evidence against Bulger disappeared.

Meanwhile, witnesses and evidence against Bulger disappeared.
A former member of the [[Massachusetts]] Parole Board claimed four members of the rival gang had been framed by the FBI and Bulger for a 1965 gangland killing and were unjustly convicted. Mueller, as an Assistant US Attorney and Acting US attorney, wrote letters to the parole and pardons board throughout the 1980s opposing clemency for the four innocent men framed by FBI. Meanwhile Bulger's criminal career flourished with Mueller and the FBI removing his rivals from the streets. Witnesses were murdered by Bulger's gang.

In 2001, Mueller was appointed FBI director and the four innocent men were fully exonerated. The parole and pardons board commissioner who maintained the four innocent men had been framed by the FBI was elected mayor of Springfield, Massachusetts, and found himself and his administration the targets of Mueller and the FBI in public corruption probes.
