[From article]
Had Bulger testified, Wyshak said, “I would have walked him through all the charges in the indictment, all the murders and extortions. I would have asked about his relationships with John Connolly and John Morris, and other corrupt law enforcement agents. It would have been about exposing people who have been hiding in the shadows all these years. The statute of limitations may have run out on some, but we’re all about exposing wrongdoing and achieving justice.”

Make no mistake, it takes no business acumen to take money from folks on the other side of a gun.’’
Mr. Wyshak may be sincere in his desire to expose corrupt officials who enabled Bulger's reign of terror. But the failure of the Justice Department to investigate fully the criminal abuses and malfeasance indicated that the government attorneys did not want to expose all of the corruption. John Durham's fantasy that only Connolly was a problem made it clear they were unwilling to investigate the police and the FBI thoroughly.
It is not only Bulger who steals money using guns. The IRS does the same thing with more firepower than Bulger could ever assemble.
