The stunning level of everyday corruption by the Boston FBI is simply jaw dropping. During the 1965 Eddie Deegan trial, the FBI KNOWINGLY sent innocent men to prison. They sought and received the death penalty on two defendants. That's correct the FBI, sent two men to death chamber, knowing they did NOT commit this murder. The Boston FBI acted more like gangsters, then the criminals themselves. How could this happen in America? Would you believe me if I told you, this corruption continues today?

U.S. Rachael Rollins strode into a political campaign, in order to pull her flawed candidate over the finish line. She constructed a despicable crusade against a potential District Attorney, that had derided her "Rollins 15" plan to not prosecute crimes like wanton and malicious destruction of property and being a drug dealer. The sitting US Attorney for Massachusetts, spun a lie out of whole cloth, she then, personally leaked this lie to the press, with the goal of eliminating her political rival. She also used her personal cell phone and encrypted messaging apps to further this conspiracy, another violation of law, from the esteemed US Attorney. This is Massachusetts political corruption in action. Don't miss this episode! Feel free to share!

Rachael Rollins was confirmed as US Attorney for Massachusetts, however she was confirmed only through the assistance of the Vice President, due to two tied votes in the Senate. The difficulty stemmed from Mrs. Rollins's unhinged behavior and performance as Suffolk County District Attorney. The allegations of corruption against Rachael Rollins are stunning. She apparently had personally leaked false stories to the press, regarding her replacement as District Attorney, then blamed innocent staffers for the leak. She was actively trying to fix an election. She also openly attended a Democratic fundraiser, despite being told not to do so, by career employees at the US Attorney's office, she was openly captured on television, yet she claimed this was not a violation of the Hatch Act. Apparently, hubris and stupidity actually derail careers, even in Massachusetts.
