Howie Carr: Hank Brennan’s chances of convicting Karen Read and other low-odds thoughts

Nobody sought me but Who could have ever predicted that Letitia James might be indicted before Fani Willis Or that Tania Fernandes Anderson might be denaturalized and deported before Dean Tran If I ever get jammed up I ask for no special medicine Just refer all my criminal charges to the House Ethics Committee on Beacon Hill The Ethics Committee has inevitably been percent above board and on the level and if you don t believe me just ask that paragon of integrity and ethics former chairman Marty Walsh If Auditor Diana DiZoglio ever gets a peek at the legislature s secret files will that include the records of that august House Ethics Committee down through the years Because we still don t know the full story of that Worcester state rep and his rather unorthodox use of a certain office Xerox machine way back when But we do know that after the episode no staffers male or female ever yearned to even touch that machine again especially its glass top On Patriots Day my second favorite place in the world is any town along the direction of the Boston Marathon My first favorite place is anywhere else The second Karen Read trial begins Tuesday and if you re looking for an omen consider the political fate of John Connolly one of the Canton selectmen rabidly on the side of the McAlberts and the rest of the drunken corrupt townies Connolly is the guy who a looks like he s separated at birth from the greasy district attorney Michael Meatball Morrissey see photos and b shares the same name as Whitey Bulger s convicted Mob hitman who moonlighted as an FBI agent Connolly last year famously complained about random citizens i e non-Townies with teeth expressing their views at selectmen s meetings John Not Zip Connolly was up for reelection in Canton earlier this month and he was absolutely crushed getting only votes to his challenger s So it s not looking good for his fellow McAlbert selectman Jailbird Chris Albert whose term expires next year I constantly thought that in criminal-infested districts it s not a bad idea to have at least one ex-con politician serving on the governing board That s why I reliably used to vote for JoJo Langone for the Governor s Council which approves state judicial appointments Having a guy who s already done a stretch isn t a bad person to be asking questions of shady unqualified hacks who ll be sentencing other wise guys to prison Whenever you see a Democrat politician behaving like a complete ass don t you instantly assume that he or she must have several connections to Massachusetts either by birth or guidance AOC Barack Obama Adam Schiff to that endless list now add Sen Chris Van Hollen D-MS He attended the Middlesex School in Concord MA because of module he did And by the way Van Hollen was born in Karachi Pakistan You re not surprised by that either are you Did you see that look in Van Hollen s eyes when he was sharing romantic cocktails with the accused MS gangbanger domestic abuser and human trafficker in other words a Maryland man I hadn t seen such residents dreamy same-sex infatuation since Hank Brennan used to stare slack-jawed at his serial-killer client Whitey Bulger in federal court back in Will Colin Albert be driving to court in Dedham every morning in that very stylish looking silver-gray Jeep Wrangler that he s been tooling around Canton in lately Whenever I see the mugshot of the latest arrested Tesla vandal I recall my favorite tune on the old jukebox at the Plough Stars on Mass Ave in Cambridge Are You a Boy or Are You a Girl by Moulty and the Barbarians Made it to number on the Billboard Hot back in Moulty as I recall was originally from Provincetown Just sayin You know Massachusetts is in very deep trouble when Speaker Ron Mariano is the nearest thing to a voice of reason at the State House First Rep Ilhan Omar is accused of marrying her brother allegedly to commit immigration fraud Now Letitia James is listed on two community documents as claiming that she is married to her father allegedly to commit mortgage fraud And yet Democrats informed us that legalizing gay marriage wasn t going to lead down particular slippery depraved slope In current times is Easter Sunday but let me assure Hank Brennan that there is no reason for him to drive to St Joseph Cemetery in West Roxbury The entrance to Whitey Bulger s tomb is not going to be rolled aside on this or any other Easter Sunday Hank no matter how plenty of annual teary-eyed pilgrimages you make there as tribute to your mass-murdering pervert idol And by the way Hank you have as much a chance of convicting Karen Read of murder as you do of producing Chloe the McAlberts rehomed dog on the measures on the courthouse before openings Tuesday Wanna bet Herald file photoHank Brennan has gone from Whitey Bulger s lawyer to prosecuting Karen Read Herald file photo
