Fred Wyshak is out of control and it is a crime that Justice Department has not reeled him in. He created racketeering against Jack O’Brien, a retired deputy in his 70s, and a long time aide in her in 40s. The material element in the indictments was that Judge Mulligan, the person required to sign-off on all O’Brien hirings, was not aware at all that some candidates benefited from having a state legislator recommend him or her for the position. This is not illegal but Wyshalk created a yet unheard of RICO case if the jury believed Mulligan was dupped.
So today he asks for 5 years for the two associates and 6 years for O’Brien.
Ladies and gentelmen this is classic unethical rogue prosecutorial abuse. Fred is torturing these people so they will say whatever he wants to get Speaker Deleo or some other big wig that hasn’t done anything.
This man is a dangerous human being and should be stopped. Why hasn’t he been?

Wyshak pushed Judge Young to ignore the defense’s newly discovered evidence stating that Ms. Cordero’s sworn affidavit was “nothing more than hearsay”. This is a most remarkable statement. Wyshak charged the defendants under RICO because that statute suspends the rule against hearsay. All of Wyshak’s evidence was hearsay. The defendants didn’t testify. In fact, Wyshak never indicts without a RICO charge for this very reason. He can use hearsay, but the defense is limited. Furthermore, he then only has to “incentivize” people enough outside the grand jury and they produce any hearsay/evidence he wants. In the O’Brien case, Wyshak filed a sealed list of 36 “unindicted co-conspirators”. Anything he could get them to say against O’Brien was admissible at trial under RICO. All of the witnesses were questioned by Wyshak under the duress of becoming indicted co-conspirators and losing their pensions, among other penalties. In fact, many of Wyshak’s trial witnesses gave prior testimony that directly contradicted their trial testimony against O’Brien. They only began to spout damaging hearsay after privately meeting with Wyshak. That’s how Wyshak “makes” evidence. It is virtually impossible for the defense to cross-examine hearsay and it is inherently unreliable, that’s why it’s normally inadmissible.
If verdicts are really about the truth, Ms. Cordero’s accusations against Mylligan and his senior staffers must be investigated in the same manner O’Brien was investigated. If it turns out that Mulligan and his staff committed perjury, they should be indicted under RICO for conspiring to obstruct justice, suborn perjury, and subvert the federal court. Unfortunately, there is only one man in the world who has the power to investigate this, Freddy Wyshak. And Freddy isn’t ever going to do anything to impugn his star witness. Unfortunately, the federal rules don’t require him to verify the truthfulness of the hearsay he manufactures. That makes him the most powerful man in Massachusetts and he scoffs at the fools who get excited about elective politics. As Wyshak told Howie Carr just days after Marty Walsh was elected, ‘Walsh will make and excellent indictment’. Wyshak apparently picks his targets and then makes the evidence by threatening people. It’s foolproof, but it isn’t Justice.

speaking of Howie CarrCrash, his latest mysterious car crash was almost certainly captured by video surveillance cameras. I know someone who was hit there and the Turnpike capture it on video. The circumstances of this crash are more mysterious than his lSt one in Wellesley. The video would show wether CarrCrash was road raging, drunk, eating, texting, or napping. Somebody should request this vide using this instruction:

This is Carr’s second daylight crack up. In Wellesley he croseed the center line and hit a poll in the middle of the day…he blamed the “wind”…no black box or phone records were released. Now he cracks up again…where are the phone records and black box records from his car? The public has a right to know if he was putting others in danger by speeding while talking on the phone…who was he talking to? his wife? some other woman/man? Why does he get away with special treatment? Do the State Police cover for him because he is a self-proclaimed celebrity who sells (but does not use) diet stuff?
