Dennis Condon, yet another Boston FBI agent

Condon, seated, is a native of Charlestown who, on direct orders of J. Edgar Hoover, tried to recruit Whitey Bulger as an FBI informant in 1971. After his retirement as a G-man, he had a series of state hack public-safety jobs under Gov. Michael Dukakis, center, under whom anyone in state government who crossed either Billy or Whitey Bulger either had their pay frozen (John E. Powers), their staffs cut (Judge E. George Daher) or were transferred (state trooper Billy Johnson). Condon attended the famous Lexington dinner in 1985 with mobsters Whitey Bulger, Zip Connolly and Stevie Flemmi, at which crooked FBI agent John Morris was given a $5,000 bribe. (Condon claimed he didn’t know who would be attending, never would have shown up if he had known, and quickly left after dinner, before any felonies were committed.) In this exclusive Whitey Watch video clip, Condon bids a fond farewell to the man he helped recruit for the FBI, Whitey’s rat in the Bureau, Zip Connolly.

In 1971, on direct orders from FBI director J. Edgar Hoover, agent Dennis Condon was trying to recruit Whitey as an informant. Although no formal deal would be struck until 1975, Whitey was telling Condon plenty. Read his story of the gang war.
