Sometimes it seems like the Boston office of the FBI — dumpster fire of breathtaking corruption and incompetence that it is — serves as a field laboratory for the Democrat briefers in D.C. whose mission it is to crush any opposition to the Deep State.
All week long, since the FBI’s Stasi-style raid on Mar-a-Lago, it’s been deja vu all over again for anyone who’s been paying attention to the decades of multiple messes that our local on-the-take G-men have been diving headfirst into.
Everything corrupt, illegal or unethical that the FBI does nationally, they did a dry run here first — just to see just how much they could get away with.
The answer is: Plenty, especially now in Brandon’s Banana Republic.
Remember how this week the D.C. Gestapo told us the raid was a matter of national security? Trump left office in January 2021, almost 19 months ago. Yet the jackbooted wokesters only now figured there’s a “national security” problem?
It’s foot-dragging reminiscent of the feds’ hunt for Whitey Bulger, the serial-killing brother of the most powerful Democrat politician in the state.[/color
Whitey took it on the lam in December 1994, with his gal pal Theresa Stanley. She couldn’t take the fugitive life, so she came back to Boston. The feds didn’t get around to interviewing her about Whitey’s aliases until the summer of 1996.
He called the Boston office and told them who he was, where he was, and that he wished to surrender. The feds hung up on him — it was Friday, Date Night Number One. Who could be bothered driving to Abington?
Sampson waited around for a couple of hours, but no FBI appeared to make the collar. So he went on a murder spree that weekend.
After he was arrested for the three killings, Sampson told local cops he’d called the FBI office. But everyone in the Boston office denied that Sampson had called — they lied, in other words, just like they did on those FISA warrants on Carter Page in 2016.
Boston’s also long been setting the pace for payoffs. Whitey Bulger’s partner, Stevie Flemmi, said their mob had six local FBI agents on the payroll. Six!
But hey, during one of the rare internal investigations of fed corruption back in 2017, the inspector general reported that in D.C., they’d discovered 50 agents were taking “gratuities” — also known as bribes — from assorted bad actors.
The FBI — Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity. And free lunch. And free booze.
The Boston office was just setting the pace for other corrupt American KGB-types to follow. There was John “Vino” Morris, a very special agent, who was paid off with $7,000 in cash and cases of wine by Whitey and Stevie. They got him so drunk one night they had to drive him home. That evening, in his drunkenness, he left behind one of the feds’ bugging tapes from Mafia headquarters on Prince Street.
Long before corrupt agent Peter Strzok (another Boston alum) was chasing Lisa Page around the Xerox machine on the seventh floor, Vino Morris was doing his secretary. Whitey and Stevie gave him a grand so she could visit Vino at a Georgia “training” session for some closed-door dictation.
Of course, with inflation, it’s gotten much more expensive to buy a G-man. Take Andrew McCabe — the disgraced ex-director who like all the rest lied under oath. When he was running the Hillary Clinton espionage “probe,” Clinton operatives funneled $700,000 to his wife’s state Senate campaign.
Unlike Trump, Hillary never had any of her mansions raided.
Morris is perhaps the classic modern Boston FBI agent. In return for his wine and cash, he identified hoods who were being flipped to testify against his paymasters.[/coloe] One of them was machine-gunned on Northern Avenue.
Obviously, Morris was the very model of a modern G-man. He was soon promoted to director of the FBI’s training academy in Quantico because … Democrats.
When Whitey went on the lam, he called up Vino — identifying himself as “Mr. White” — and told him that if he was going down, so was Vino. “Mr. White” threatened the fed he owned lock, stock and wine barrel.
Vino immediately took a heart attack so he could go out on a full-boat disability pension before anyone found out how crooked he was. Just like McCabe kept his pension. They always keep their pensions, these bent G-men.
Maybe someday we’ll find out just what went down last week at Mar-a-Lago. But I doubt it. “Mr. White” made his call to Vino back in 1995. Earlier this year, the feds coughed up to this newspaper the 302 report that was filed after Bulger called his fed hireling.
It’s part of the historical record. The call has been discussed in federal court, books, documentaries, etc.
So we finally get the official FBI report and it begins with words to the effect of: “What follows is a transcript of the conversation:
And then there’s nothing. Absolutely nothing. Just a blank page.
Because … FBI. Because … Democrats. It’s the Boston way.
FBI – Famous but Incompetent.
