Mueller was appointed director by [[President George W. Bush]] because of his role in covering up negative publicity about corruption in the FBI Boston field office, and their relationship with the criminal gang run by [[mafia]] kingpin White Bulger.<ref>https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/books/00/07/16/reviews/000716.16dershot.html </ref> Mueller was known to target journalists and public officials who exposed the corruption.
