Sullivan was afraid that, if Costello was selling people out for protection, sooner or later he'd be next. Also Scorsese just wanted to rip off Whitey Bulger's life story as well as Infernal Affairs
Why are so many women 10/10s in Scorsese movies then not after? Vera, Margot, Cathy, Mary Elizabeth. There's plenty that stay hot after like Cate and Sharon but weird that actresses often peak in his movies.
The Federal government are the bad guys. The Constitution was a mistake. Jefferson was right and we should have stayed with the Articles of Confederation.
The Federal government should be only be focused and funded on defense against external threats to the United States. All other issues should be left to the individual States.
Well one it explains how and why he kept getting away with shit
two it destroys any trust sullivan had in him
three something something frick the feds
that dickhead frank lazio probably knew about the shit the whole time
frickin guineas
But why would the feds not say anything to local and state police? What advantage do they gain from that? Plus, couldn't the state police ruin whatever operations that the glowies had running?
they needed costello to be able to operate as he did in order to get their real targets
Do you remember when they sold the chinese a bunch of fake microprocessors and then accosted them at the border? that wouldn't have happened otherwise.
Say they DID tell the cops and told them not to interfere - that wouldn't fly.
Remember how, feeling the law had failed, Dignam killed sullivan himself vigilante style? These are good ol boys from boston, lest we forget.
Lord of War is another movie that makes the reasoning a little more blatant in that it's clear that certain elements within the government benefit more from letting certain big shots work under their supervision than they do locking them up just because "it's the moral thing to do."
>le government is le bad
The government is the grey area. They absolutely protect the nation and keep the peace, however they have to break a few eggs to keep cooking the omelette, and if that means doing some fricked up shit, they'll have no problems fricking doing it to get shit done. So on that end, the government is "le bad". There are necessary evils in the world you know. Is it right? No, it fricking sucks, but this is the world we've crafted for ourselves.
Because he's a white supremacist.
Because Reasons
Because Whitey Bulger was an informant for the FBI.
Why would he do that?

>All that killin', and screwin' and no so-ACK
Why did he become a informant for the FBI?
insurance
It was a commentary on how federal powers interfere with states rights
>"Don't disappoint me on this or some other guy will be putting their fat wiener up little Miss Freud's ass."
>I got this rat, this gnawing, cheese eating frickin' rat

But the government protects you and maintains infrastructure
The Federal government should be only be focused and funded on defense against external threats to the United States. All other issues should be left to the individual States.
Even then, I wouldn't trust them with that.

Feds really are pieces of shit, aren't they?
Probably to avoid a leak. I wonder if the dude that initially implied Frank was a rat actually knew something or if he was just speculating.
