I can’t find any evidence that the Judge said anything about Mueller’s culpability.

Can you help by providing evidence that supports your charge?
The Boston Globe put this question to the judge herself:
Did Mueller know the four men had been wrongly convicted and look the other way?

There’s nothing linking Mueller to that case, according to several attorneys for the men, voluminous court records, and a former federal judge who presided over their wrongful imprisonment trial. In 2007, then US District Judge Nancy Gertner found that the FBI deliberately withheld evidence that the four men were innocent and that the bureau helped cover up the injustice for decades. She ordered the government to pay the men and their families $101.7 million.

“Absolutely nothing in the record that I saw suggested Mueller’s involvement in any way in either the initial acts that led to the four men’s imprisonment, or the acts that ended in their continued imprisonment and denying them parole or the coverup,” Gertner said Friday.

The whole story told in this article demolishes the attack launched against Mueller in connections with this wrongful conviction brought to the forum by @MonteRCMS and @Ridgerunner.
 
Funny how in just 15 months, the GOP party line on the greatest law enforcement institutions of this nation have gone from being venerated, to trashed…and how the public servants in these agencies went from being protectors and defenders of the Constitution to the private police and legal team of POTUS.

No surprises there! LOL

It attempts to, but this isn’t some recently manufactured attack on Mueller by Hannity and others.
The problem stems from an important article written by Pulitizer Prize winner and Boston Globe columnist Kevin Cullen back in 2011.

The letters claimed to be written by Mueller opposing clemency for the men who were unjustly sent to prison remain in question. An article written today doesn’t give me any assurance that those letters didn’t at some point exist.

Why would Mike Albano, who sat on the parole and pardons board in the 1980s, and claims to have seen the letters himself, be so appalled when Mueller was appointed FBI director back in 2001?

I doubt we will ever know the truth…
 
Thank you so much for this link that gives the time line on this case.
But it doesn’t sound like you read the link, since it makes very clear what it is questioning Mueller about, and it is relevant to his time as an attorney.

You just deflected away from what the article said.

In my post I mentioned the attack of @Ridgerunner and @MonteRCMS. RR claimed that Mueller wrongfully convicted the Boston 4; Monte claimed that he willingly signed on and magnified inherited messes, but supplied no proof. The former claim, a terrible smear, is plainly false; the latter is supported only by the claim of Albano - for which there is no supporting evidence.

Why does Albano make such a claim? That is not easy to say. His story is that he was intimidated by a couple of rogue agents, and later, when mayor of Springfield, his administration was bedeviled by corruption probes by the FBI, which he took as payback. Bottom line: there was corruption among some FBI agents in Boston. Some seek to lay that at the feet of Mueler. But thus far that claim has had little evidence to support it.

You are wrong I your suggestion about what I read.

This thread came up as another poster had been making harsh attacks on Mueller - noted in my first post on the thread.

Howie’s article made it clear that those attacks were nonsensical.
I expressed my gratitude for the OP’s link because it made that nonsense clear, and provided an opportunity to set the record straight. I would hope that all see the value of correcting false allegations.

Here’s Alan Dershowitz on Mueller’s history. But you know that.

"He’s the guy who kept four innocent people in prison for many years in order to protect the cover of Whitey Bulger as an FBI informer. Those of us in Boston don’t have such a high regard for Mueller because we remember this story. The government had to pay out tens of millions of dollars because Whitey Bulger, a notorious mass murderer, became a government informer against the mafia . . .
2. “And that’s regarded in Boston of one of the great scandals of modern judicial history. And Mueller was right at the center of it. So, he is not without criticism by people who know him in Boston.”

It would be gracious of you to begin any comments on Mueller’s activity in Boston with a retraction of the plainly false charge that you made against him several time on this forum.

Thanks for the quote from Dershowitz. Curious that he does not provide any evidence for his defamatory opinion.
 
Even Democrat house organ HuffPo admits that Mueller’s hands are dirty. In addition to other things, the following:

"Current media applause omits the fact that former FBI Director Mueller was the top official in charge of the anthrax terror fiasco investigation into the 2001 murders which targeted an innocent man…”

It’s really a shame that Rosenstein couldn’t have appointed someone who is actually clean.
Mueller’s right hand man, Weissman, is, of course, even dirtier than Mueller.
 
That does not sound like a retraction of the false charges that you made.

I am not going to bow and scrape to you, so forget that. I do realize you exaggerate your accusations beyond what someone actually does.

I do see that Mueller wasn’t actually the head of the FBI when the four innocent men were convicted. But he was in a position to correct it and didn’t, when he was, and also when he was asst US. attorney in Boston. He long opposed their parole. He was also head of the FBI in Boston during its canoodling with Bulger.

If for some reason you consider yourself a better expert on attorney conduct than Dershowitz, give us your credentials so we can compare.

I am certain that you know no such thing, since what you accuse me of - some might say rudely - is not something that I do. Mueller did not convict these men. There has, as yet, been no evidence presented that he knew of their wrongful conviction and worked to thwart justice.

PS Not only was Mueller not head of the FBI when these men were convicted, he was still in college and heading out to Vietnam.

PPS Odd that you think that retracting your false charge involves bowing and scraping before me. It really just requires admitting to the truth.
 
Dershowitz knows about evidence. And didn’t supply any.
If anything, one should always look at whatever any attorney says with some skepticism, since it is their job to be an advocate.
 
I guess you do not see the difference between disagreeing with someone or even correcting an error, and asserting that they have leveled “false” charges or spoken falsehoods. So, okay. You don’t.

I admitted I was mistaken in saying hat Mueller was the one who sent the men to prison. But I was not mistaken in believing he could have investigated the false charges against them when he knew Bulger was the informant and others told him the men were innocent. He opposed their parole.

It’s sort of like when Churchhill remarked to someone that it was fine for him to call a spade a spade, but he didn’t have to call it a “bloody shovel.”
