FBI CORRUPTION STORY GETTING ZERO MEDIA ATTENTION

This major story, covered nationally one time by 60 Minutes, is only in the Boston papers. This has to do with a twenty year crime rampage conducted by an FBI informer that the FBI knew was committing crimes. Link HERE. The President of the University of Mass is also involved because he is the brother of the FBI murderer.

Time and again, the University of Massachusetts president avoided a direct response, saying he could not recall or knew nothing about an event. He often acknowledged something was possible -- a meeting, for example, or a conversation -- but rarely said he was certain about it.
Bulger insisted that he sought to be cooperative, and did not appear to be deceptive or trying to obstruct the committee. The result, however, was a performance that appeared evasive and, from the standpoint of Bulger's legal situation, effective. Given immunity, Bulger had legal exposure only for perjury
This should be a huge story, I don't know why it isn't. The FBI is in big trouble on this and so far it's being treated as a "local Boston situation" by the media.
