0:00.0	Welcome to Boston Confidential, Beantown's True Crime podcast.
0:11.6	Boston is a great city, but there's more to it than the Freedom Trail in Fenway Park.
0:16.8	There's a startling underbelly to the city, and Boston Confidential will take you on a guided tour of the hub of the universe, Boston, Massachusetts.
0:26.3	Hey, everybody, welcome back to Boston Confidential. My name's Barry McGuire, and I'm your host. I'm a 20-year private investigator on the streets of Boston, and I help run a company called Impact Due Diligence Investigations.
0:39.8	If you need anything in terms of investigative services, feel free to contact me at Impact.
0:45.8	If I can't help you personally, I'll certainly direct you to the right person or agency.
0:50.7	All right, guys, let's get to it.
0:52.9	I just wanted to thank everybody in the Boston Confidential audience for the outpouring of support we got on the series we've done on FBI corruption in Boston,

1:26.9	amazing. So thank you very much. I have asked in the

1:54.6	was is how does the FBI continue, at least in these emails? And I really don't have a solution for that either,
2:02.6	but they definitely need more oversight. They might need to be broken up a little bit because
2:08.2	they're corrupt and they don't care if you know it. They don't care what your state police
2:14.4	thinks. They don't care what your local police thinks. They don't care what
2:17.5	judges say. They don't care what Congress says. They give the finger to them all. And they just
2:23.1	continue the same corrupt march. And that's what we're going to talk about today. Today's case is
2:28.9	the Mark Rosetti case. This goes all the way back to the Whitey Bulger days. Mark Rosetti was a local
