Again truth is Stranger than Fiction and Distorted Depictions.

One brother, James, "Whitey" an organized crime leader and fugitive, and once an F.B.I. informer, who has been on the run from racketeering and murder charges since 1995, after he was secretly indicted by a federal grand jury, and "tipped" by an FBI "insider".  He is on the F.B.I.'s Ten Most Wanted list.

The other brother, William M. Bulger, the president of the University of Massachusetts and former president of the State Senate....

The Sins of the Father or (brother) shall not be visited upon the Son (or other brother).

However....in this case, it appears as if the College President, despite denying knowing anything about his brother's, criminal activities, including charges of involvement in 22 killings in the 1970's and 80's, yet describes his brother as a victim of law enforcement, despite testimony that, William asked an FBI agent to 
"keep my brother out of trouble.", which turned out to include, giving him "protective cover" as an "informant", and tipping "Whitey" to the secret indictment.

Read on, It gets Better..... And tell me, who is the worse Criminal, the Criminal who pretends to be nothing else, or the brother who "poses" as a "Public Servant",
and hypocritically subverts "the legal system", which is the "foundation" of our society!!

SUBPOENA FOR UMASS LEADER OVER BROTHER'S CRIME ROLE
New York Times

BOSTON, — William M. Bulger, the president of the University of Massachusetts and former president of the State Senate, will be subpoenaed to testify before a Congressional hearing here next week about his brother, James, an organized crime leader and fugitive, and his brother's role as an F.B.I. informer.

The subpoena puts Mr. Bulger, 68, one of the most powerful men in Massachusetts, in a difficult and unaccustomed position, since he has long managed to avoid discussing his relationship with his older brother, who is known as Whitey and who has been on the run from racketeering and murder charges since 1995. He is on the F.B.I.'s Ten Most Wanted list.

The subpoena will be issued because Mr. Bulger declined an invitation to testify at a hearing next Thursday, to be held in Boston by the House Government Reform Committee, James Wilson, the committee's chief counsel, said today. The committee, headed by Representative Dan Burton, Republican of Indiana, has been investigating how agents in the F.B.I.'s Boston office became corrupted by gangsters as they sought to use those underworld figures as informers against the Mafia. 

One retired F.B.I. agent, John J. Connolly Jr., who handled Whitey Bulger, was sentenced to 10 years in prison in September for racketeering and obstruction of justice in tipping Mr. Bulger off to investigations against him. Mr. Connolly grew up in a housing project in South Boston with the Bulger brothers, and a former mob hit man testified at his trial that Mr. Connolly had originally recruited Whitey Bulger as an informer after William Bulger told him, "Just keep my brother out of trouble."

Mr. Wilson said the subpoena, for William Bulger's appearance before the panel, would be issued because Mr. Bulger's lawyer, Thomas Kiley, had told the committee that Mr. Bulger would decline an invitation to appear at the Thursday hearing. 

"The subpoena will compel his appearance," Mr. Wilson said.

If Mr. Bulger still does not appear, the committee can vote to hold him in contempt of Congress and he could face arrest, Mr. Wilson said. Mr. Bulger could also plead his Fifth Amendment right against compelled self-incrimination and not answer any questions. 

Mr. Kiley, Mr. Bulger's lawyer, did not return phone calls seeking comment.

In his few public comments on his brother, Mr. Bulger has denied knowing anything about his criminal activities, including charges of involvement in 22 killings in the 1970's and 80's. Whitey Bulger disappeared in 1995 after he was secretly indicted by a federal grand jury. In William Bulger's autobiography, "While the Music Lasts: My Life in Politics," published a year later, the university president described his brother as a victim of law enforcement. 

"All of the evidence" against Whitey Bulger, he wrote, "has been purchased" from criminals.

Testimony in Mr. Connolly's trial and in a lengthy judicial investigation into the relationship between the F.B.I. and Whitey Bulger suggests that William Bulger knew about his brother's criminal actions.

For example, Whitey Bulger, now 73, continued to live in an apartment in South Boston with his and William's mother almost until her death in 1980, not far from the house where William Bulger lived. William Bulger's house was also a few feet from the home of the mother of Whitey Bulger's chief deputy in the Winter Hill Gang, Stephen Flemmi.

On at least one occasion, William Bulger walked into the Flemmi house while Mr. Connolly and other F.B.I. agents were having a clandestine dinner with Whitey Bulger and Mr. Flemmi. According to testimony in the judicial inquiry, William Bulger handed his brother some family photographs in front of the F.B.I. agents.

In addition, other testimony has shown that the Massachusetts State Police had successfully planted an electronic bug at a Boston garage Whitey Bulger used at his gang headquarters in 1980 until someone in the F.B.I. or the United States attorney's office tipped him off. After the operation was compromised, the Massachusetts Senate, controlled by William Bulger, passed an anonymous late-night amendment requiring the state police officer who had directed planting the bug, Maj. John O'Donovan, to retire.

When Mr. Connolly retired from the F.B.I. in 1990, he was hired as a lobbyist at Boston Edison, which has ties to William Bulger. 

According to testimony by a former secretary, Mr. Connolly directed that the only phone calls to be put immediately through to him were those from his Edison boss; from Kevin Weeks, a lieutenant of Whitey Bulger; and from the chief Senate aide to William Bulger.

In 1989, when William Bulger was under federal investigation for possible involvement in extorting $500,000 from a real estate developer, Mr. Connolly tried to dissuade the assistant United States attorney prosecuting the case from looking into Mr. Bulger, the official testified during Mr. Connolly's trial. Mr. Bulger was cleared of any wrongdoing.
