Quote #4
It didn't matter that two prosecutors were seated across the way. Bulger leaned into Green's face, [...] "If you don't pay, I will absolutely kill you." (1.3.8)
Bulger has so much chutzpah that he'd rob a bank that was across the street from a police station. On the other hand, he might only act so tough because he knows that the FBI has his back. It's easy to be a rough rider when you have federal agents as wingmen.
Quote #5
They'd fallen completely off the game board [...] now criminals all, FBI agents and two gangsters looking to deflect trouble of any kind, including charges of murder. (2.9.76)
Connolly and Morris may have come in with noble intentions, but as the years pass their deal with Bulger becomes increasingly corrupt. In fact, there are multiple instance when they leak intel to Bulger that he uses to kill people. That's well beyond fudging reports or inflating your informant's credibility. That's being an accessory to murder.
Quote #6
There'd been a number of housekeeping murder of minor figures [...] but the growing body count brought not a single knock on Bulger's door. (2.10.9)
As time rolls on, Connolly and Morris become a well-oiled cover-up machine, successfully derailing any investigation into Bulger's violent crimes. This only makes Whitey more confident, culminating in his assassination of an Arizonan multimillionaire for screwing up a business deal.
