Flemmi to talk on Brother(s) Bulger? 

One of the questions investigators are hoping mobster "Rifleman" Flemmi, a cohort of Boston mobster James "Whitey" Bulger, will answer now that he's made a deal with the government:

"Did former University of Massachusetts president William M. Bulger ever sit in on meetings between his gangster brother and the FBI?

..."There's a great deal of intelligence information he can give," said Robert Fitzpatrick, who served as the assistant agent in charge of the FBI's Boston office during the 1980s and oversaw the agents who handled Bulger and Flemmi. "He could weave the tapestry that would show exactly how it went on and what happened. He could also give up other people outside of law enforcement."

...Asked yesterday whether he was concerned about whether Flemmi might implicate William Bulger in wrongdoing or contradict his congressional testimony, Boston lawyer Thomas Kiley, who represents William Bulger, said, "I have absolutely no concerns."
