→Whitey Bulger
A former [[Massachusetts]] parole and pardons board commissioner claimed four members of a rival gang had been framed by the FBI and Bulger for a 1965 gangland killing, and were unjustly convicted. Mueller, as Assistant US Attorney and Acting US Attorney, opposed clemency for the four innocent men who were framed by the FBI throughout the 1980s. Meanwhile Bulger's criminal career flourished with Mueller and the FBI removing his rivals from the streets. Exculpatory witnesses were murdered.

In 2001 the four men were fully exonerated. The commissioner who maintained the four were innocent, framed by the FBI, and kept in prison by Mueller, was elected mayor of Springfield, Massachusetts. Mueller now was FBI director, the mayor and his administration found themselves targets of Mueller and the FBI in public corruption probes.
