Cullen, the author of the Globe article you snipped, has been sanctioned before for falsifying several stories.
Dershowitz has acknowledged that he's stopped making the claim since it turns out there's no evidence that Robert Mueller ever wrote a letter to the parole board.
The case was investigated by the House Committee on Government Reform, which looked into the F.B.I.’s use of secret informants. No mention of Robert Mueller.
The judge, Nancy Gertner, who was extremely hard on the FBI and the Justice Department when she heard the wrongful imprisonment case and awarded the plaintiffs $101 million, confirms that Robert Mueller was not involved in the case. She did not hesitate to name the names of the officials who were. No mention of Mueller.
The Defense attorney for the four defendants, Juliane Balliro, received records of all the case files and letters to the parole board. There is no mention of Robert Mueller and no letters written by Mueller in those Defense files..
The detailed Whitey Bulger book , “Black Mass”, names names and there is no mention of Mueller.
I don't care that you think you have a basis to judge whether Mueller is 'decent' or not. But, in this case, your claim that he's not decent is based on repeats and reiterations of a baseless claim made by former Springfield mayor Mike Albano after the FBI (by then headed by Mueller) put away several members of his administration for corruption.
After those arrests which occured years after the four men were exonerated, Albano claimed that when he was on the parole board, U.S. Attorney Mueller knowingly wrote letters trying to keep the four wrongly convicted mafia members in prison, though no record of any such letters has ever been produced.
Here's the info from the judge in the case: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/18/opini...licit.html
I tend to believe Howie Carr and his book "Ratman" parole letters by Mueller are in Boston, he will find them. Mueller is not without blood on his hands and I still believe he is a big part of the Washington elite that feel they are beyond reproach.
He ain't heavy, he's my brother.
