Description: "The FBI assigned Special Agent John Connolly the job of handling top echelon informants, James "Whitey" Bulger and Stephen Flemmi, the two leaders of a vicious criminal gang. All the hierarchy of the FBI knew these were evil men. When the public learned the FBI had partnered with them for up to twenty years a huge uproar occurred. The FBI became fearful and highly embarrassed. It turned on Connolly saying he was a rogue agent. This is the story of his trial and the events surrounding it. All the evidence is here. You decide the truth!"--
