Walter B. Prince, a litigation partner at Boston law firm Prince Lobel Tye LLP, states that while the FBI’s history of using Whitey Bulger as a secret informant in exchange for protection and inside information is “well excavated,” it’s “still embarrassing” and still raises questions. He adds, “The length the FBI was going to protect their sources, I don’t know if we’ll ever find out the total truth about that.”
