21st Century Guide to FBI Informants Congressional Investigation and Report on the Use of Murderers as Informants Witness Protection Federal Bureau of Investigation Memos and Exhibits Top Echelon Informants James Whitey Bulger J Edgar Hoover C Author: U.S. Government This electronic book on CD-ROM provides a collection of documents relating to the use of informants by the FBI, including a complete reproduction of both volumes of an important House committee report, entitled "Everything Secret Degenerates: The FBI?s Use of Murderers As Informants." The Committee on Government Reform issued this report in e...  more »arly 2004. The executive summary states: "Federal law enforcement officials made a decision to use murderers as informants beginning in the 1960s. Known killers were protected from the consequences of their crimes and purposefully kept on the streets. This report discusses some of the disastrous consequences of the use of murderers as informants in New England. Beginning in the mid-1960s, the Federal Bureau of Investigation began a course of conduct in New England that must be considered one of the greatest failures in the history of federal law enforcement. This Committee report focuses on only a small segment of what happened. It discusses primarily the 1965 murder of Edward "Teddy" Deegan, the subsequent prosecution of six defendants for that murder, and the actions of federal law enforcement officials to protect cooperating witness Joseph "The Animal" Barboza and government informants Jimmy "The Bear" Flemmi and Stephen "The Rifleman" Flemmi. In order to understand the FBI?s misuse of informants in New England, it is essential to examine the Deegan murder prosecution. The story of this trial and subsequent events provides a foundation to assess what happened during the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, when Stephen Flemmi and James "Whitey" Bulger allegedly murdered at least 19 individuals while serving as government informants. It is now clear that FBI Special Agent John Connolly developed an improper relationship with Whitey Bulger and others who served as government informants." In addition, we have reproduced a number of discussions about the proper use of informants found in the FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin.
