Whitey probably hated DOJ more than Trump

What with all their investigations and criminal charges?
I'm surprised Trump didn't pardon him and then name him acting attorney general.

approves of another gangster. No big surprise. And Bulger only started hating the DOJ when his pet FBI agent stopped protecting him.

I'd be willing to guess that quite a few unsavory characters had good things to say about our previous president, too.

When asked to supply a mobster convicted of multiple murders and who ran guns to the IRA, you come back with fraud and money laundering. Your perspectives are skewed. Please note that a murderous gangster is not just a "negative connection."

Obama has Irish heritage and was
celebrated when he visited, Trump... who has Scottish ancestry and likely Irish as well, boasts about his golf course and is disliked by the Irish. so your point is?

What's it like to have so much in common with criminal thugs like Bulger and the KKK and yet still think you have the moral high ground? You deserve a gold medal for mental gymnastics.
Who are you talking to?

Who are you saying has things in common with those people? If you are addressing anyone but Trump, your aim is off.

Trump often talks of his fondness for murdering dictators in oppressive countries (North Korea, Philippines, Russia). None of his predecessors had such nice things to say about these thugs. So there's that.

Guessing something is massively easier than proving something.
Don't bother Roman with the facts - believing and guessing are SO MUCH EASIER!
Whitey liked Trump

But he really loved Bill Weld the US Attorney who did nothing to stop the outlaw and his criminal organization. He even sang a song at the annual St.Patricks day breakfast called Whitey on the MBTA, mocking the efforts of law enforcement's attempt to capture the crime lord.

What happens to a TV personality and former Boston Globe marquee columnist when his deep hatred for President Trump and love for
WhiteyJimmy Bulger come into conflict on live TV when it's revealed Bulger strongly admired Trump? It will be interesting to see if Mike Barnicle shows up tomorrow and defends his friend who "kept the drugs out of Southie."*Note: While at the Globe, Mike Barnicle called Whitey Bulger "Jimmy," a name Bulger allowed to be used only by family and dear friends at that time.

Someone sort-of on the same side as him in shilling for POTUS, some quotes he can steal & use, and they're dead so they won't complain about Howie using their stuff...
...versus...
it's Bulger.
