Whitey Bulger’s Marriage To The FBI May Have Been Consented To On One Side
The prosecutors have a recording in which Whitey said he was never an informant. This contradicts FBI Agent John Connolly who said he opened Whitey as an informant on September 18, 1975.

I’m aware others have suggested that Connolly’s arrest of Frankie Salemme was part of a scheme put together by the Rico/Condon team to bring Connolly back…
