What did Bob Mueller know about the FBI’s framing of four innocent men for a murder they didn’t commit, and when did he know it?
This is an important question for the “special counsel,” and for two days I’ve been emailing his press office, asking for answers about his tenure in the U.S. attorney’s office here. No response. Zip, zero, nada.
The FBI railroaded four men, and then made sure they remained in prison for upwards of 30 years. They — or the estates of two who died in prison — were awarded $102 million in 2007 for false imprisonment.
Henry Tameleo, Peter Limone, Louis Greco and Joseph Salvati were convicted of the 1965 murder of small-time hood Teddy Deegan. An FBI informant named Joe Barboza committed perjury on the stand in 1968, to settle some old scores and protect another serial killer.
The FBI knew Barboza was lying. On March 19, 1965, one of the crooked G-men, who later died in a prison hospital while under indictment for a 1981 gangland hit in Tulsa, Okla., wrote a memo to J. Edgar Hoover naming Deegan’s actual murderers. Yet the FBI remained silent.
In 1973, a true-crime book by a Mafia associate, “My Life in the Mafia,” laid out the entire railroad. But the men remained behind bars. In the early 1980s, Greco passed a lie-detector test. Still they were not released. U.S. attorneys in Boston continually demanded the innocent men not be paroled.
In 1982, Mueller went to work for then-U.S. Attorney Bill Weld. On July 1, 1983, Weld wrote: “This office recommends most strongly that the petition for commutation of Mr. Limone’s sentence be denied.”
Mueller succeeded Weld as U.S. attorney, serving from Oct. 10, 1986, until April 6, 1987. Mueller was followed as U.S. attorney by Frank L. McNamara Jr., who continued the office’s policy.
I'm of the opinion that Mueller has his own personal reasons for resisting any investigation of senior FBI officials, i.e., they may have dirt on him from his time as FBI chief.

So, the article wonders why Mueller, in his less than 6 months in that office, didn't overturn an FBI case that was already 20 years old at that time. A case that successive US attorneys also stood firm on.
Assuming it is all true, it might be a case where they knew those guy were dirty mob thugs who were guilty of other murder/crime, and just decided to have them take a fall on the word on a unreliable informant.
That is not an excuse for a reported and supposedly squeaky clean person like Mueller, but most people working for the mob (especially the thugs) are not law abiding citizens.

The only difference between the Mob and government who use the same tactics and activities is...…..
This is fact not opinion. It's just inconvenient truth that many ignore, like Hillary handling top secret info result an the contemperous Navy sailor going to prison for doing less.
Did Hillary pay for the dossier with campaign funds it did Soros pay for this too. How is this less egregious than paying off mistresses with much less.
Without equal justice we won't survive lovng as a nation.
You guys keep trying ,and Mueller keeps working away, undeterred. Nice try though.
If Trump were half as clean as Mueller, he wouldn't be in any of the hot water he is always soaking in.
