Steve Lynch - Salvotti

They would get good news again congressman Steve lynch on the line Steve blanched thank you for joining us -- parents forum. But why it all yourself I'm doin' fine congressmen congressman you were right in the audience I think when the closing arguments were made my memory tells me that you had your colleague bill -- odds maybe a couple of others. Came up because of the notoriety of this case. In the relevance based upon some of the committee work you do -- Washington tell us tell us your reaction to this whole situation.

Well you know I know it sounds like a big number and I and I heard your comments earlier book you know attacked there responsibility here. But but look he had just from the damage standpoint these people actually deserve more if if you can believe that I get here.

Steve I have no trouble believing that at all no trouble at all. -- I don't relationship you have with your wife and daughter right now how how how connected and personalized feel about my relationship to have that ripped the -- deliberately -- enforcement if -- if you cannot put a price on this.

And we think about your kids drawn up. You know and I'm not both both missed the -- and alimony had four kids and -- get the growing up under the couple out of halving their debt in jail for or intentional murder three of them got the death penalty people forget that but. It was vacated on appeal but this debate the three of them got the death penalty in such an early on mr. -- to cut passed -- in jail in 19841994 respectively. You know hearing the testimony I was on the committee that -- you know conducted this investigation there was a wider. Patient all over the Boston opposite the FBI collusion with organized crime. Beginning back in the early 1960s up until you know 2002001 so. We heard all of the pain and suffering that that that one along with this amount escapade and it's just just so tragic but. You know a -- so much to be utilized was still in many respects and now just trying to repair some of that -- that I give great credit to left. Two I'm insecure of Johnson sure yeah wrote wrote this decision yesterday because I think should try to make a bomb crew on appeal. And I'd also victor Darryl be attorneys from salt body loose now but a lot of people here that. It just could not give up and the families that come together and and want to all of this you're right I mean there's there's not much that surprises me these days you know act of being in the state legislature -- congress and you know we feel lot but but this was just just tragic and it was a as you noted it was deliberate misconduct here I remember one moment in the hearings went you know we we discovered trumpet transcripts of the wiretapped in the in the departure doctor's office in Rhode Island now. When when we heard. Both missed the Bob -- And and Stephen Flemmi actually has the top jiaka. For permission to kill KDD's did you pay system and on tape the FB. Then you don't have to dig in and opened the trunk.

Today's two days later he scaled it down.

And that -- there was sometimes some months later but you know he basically gave permission to vote two guys just said -- Allen don't do it on my turf so you know Teddy being -- children and that could then these two guys. You know fingered big these four gentlemen mr. Burkle mr. familial mr. somebody in alimony. And the FBI have that -- look at that tape one these poor guys we're going on trial would mister Bob also wrote Scott witness yeah yeah we -- The head of the FBI uncharted they had to beat New England organized crime task force why they didn't give that hates. To the -- be. That's council or so of the prussian state prosecutors Tim bright young yes it was desk he had to resist I don't know all we must have forgot. I don't know we must have I just about fell off my chair so. You know and I'm sure gender you have the same response they let these guys actually -- their appeals for release. They let these guys you know sit in jail for 30 years two of them passed away this is the this is something you might expect an end you know KGB.

I was just going to say a little old Soviet Union this is the type of stuff you'd expect framed up trumped up convictions of evidence. You know rigged system from top to bottom and you know watery mass may have sadly Steve not the same and I think god not the same type of duty is disruption but how about they Fred -- Yeah how about Kevin Connolly what they put him throw. To disgrace this is I mean this is just such a disgrace six -- 72666868. It wicket -- college Tuesday that'd be great oh yeah let's go to well let's go to Joe Joe scholar an NHL Europe -- what congressman Steve legend Tom parent.

I -- tonight I don't complaining at all that the I don't have as much faith -- you do in law enforcement because it's so many things that happen like in New Orleans the policeman killed it. A guy that he resisted -- have to kill anybody to be professional and he got off its good old boy it's going to take a lot to bring my faith -- but they should get more. An -- FBI men in jail for that I mean at am how many times you and I. And I'll let you go have thousands of people. That are in jail in essence it or it made one mistake -- things have been screwed around -- we never hear about those that they don't have the money some of us like we don't have the --

Now hey Joe you make a good point in you know last system judge Greta points out -- system as a human based system it's prone to errors that's going to be fallible that's why you have appeals and hopefully it works much more often wanted to. At an appeal if we attack it is how to say Indian honor obviously here congressman lynch -- on now at the that the government can't prolong this if they want Steven UP I mean I'm just.

What's -- like that time. Well become the complexity in this case said -- to try to make getting impervious to two you know -- By by making certain finding of fact that that they cannot they cannot rule way because she was sitting -- received the other she's got older rock solid but. You know I'd a good attorney Kent can't find in the case of this nature of the white Tibet -- the complexion of it I'm sure attorney confined specious grounds but once one that might pass a motion to match some -- emotion is national. They're they're out there are a lot of ground where someone come forward and I actually craft an appeal that what. That could delay of three years and we we hope that's not the case I know that mr. Burton Indiana -- and the development of the country district of Massachusetts. -- a be resolution that would basically. Wave -- BB. Right to appeal in this case. -- certainly support that but. Ironically that petition itself might might give rise to an appeal. On the part of the government and we don't want to delay this we want we want the tree damage to. To become parents that they receive to a court and and put that put an end of this get some closure on this you know social beat the appeal process could drag on unfortunately.

Now let's take one more call congressman I know you have the dog thank you so much for joining us let's go right to --

Well last point about the FBI agents H Paul Rico passed away did. A couple of years ago and cannot condom what these are the true original FBI agents could actually called -- bit about bold and not promote stance talks and who know who know for a fact that he was perjuring himself. On the stand.

It's it's infuriating let's go to Bryant Boston. A bright an Exxon Finneran for a 100000680 WR KO.

Declaration quick comment about somebody that I think we get eight are -- a hundred billion dollar each. Because -- him that -- an important thing here is that. The FBI broke up elite which is what America is based on that front crawl that this. English congressman might not heard that Europe -- we -- we pay about eight people it got how can you think that went that I would -- that you that the -- I what you --

Ya -- Arabia it Brian -- contest the bullet what you know what you just said that it's I think the DM. I think the damages are actually probably too low club how did you replace the time Steve for the last --

I'd be about a relationship that they defense past you know -- and the -- families -- you know if there's going to be an -- government. By the government. They can appeal the -- of you know say damages were assessed in in the award because. I think most people looking at this looking at that 30 years that mr. somebody did -- lost it -- Stanley. You know and and and for each of the defendants and say this is so low jury award in the political appeal we want to appeal that number is well that might tell what government you know hey wait a minute we keep him out of this war should what do threats or whatever it's 250 million dollars in. And damages you know now we've got some exposure so I think that that that -- Ironically yes not hundred militant and one million dollar a lot of might be exported in my opinion to the Justice Department was much great you know --

Yeah it's Graham an actual war hopefully we find -- are responsible standup guy or gal with some authority down there who say hey let's let's do the right thing and stand -- take out punishment and move on and never US open again one would hope. Congressman Steve lynch always a pleasure thank you for joining us on veterans forum. And I will be back with more calls and commentary on this hideous case back in a moment on parents for a may have 680 WR KOW --
