FBI always defending their corrupt colleagues - 03/12/15 04:02 PM
Have just bought the book "C-1 and the Chicago Mob" by Vincent L. Inserra. The author is a former FBI agent who worked on the Outfit from 1957 to 1976. The information in the book is interesting, but at the end there is a chapter talking about handling informants, the author remembers the Whitey Bulger example and, like many others, starts complaining about "poor John Connolly" doing 40 years in prison for "relatively harmless crimes" convicted "only on tenstimony of murderous informants". I don't get it, is there at least ONE FBI agent who acknowledges that there may be "bad guys" among them? Joe Pistone defends Paul Rico and Lindley DeVecchio, Inserra now defends Connolly, and I read so did many other FBI agents. Is there at least somebody in the FBI who rightfully labels people like Rico, Connolly, Morris and DeVecchio as traitors and the shame of their department?
By the way, how do the police speak of Eppolito and Caracappa? Do they see them as martyrs like FBI sees the individuals mentioned above or do they acknowledge that they had hitmen in uniforms in their midst?
