Woody Harrelson dad was connected to Dallas and Houston until the mid 1970's then started hanging around Mexican and South American Drug Dealers. That report was just Connelly building up an informant.

I agree with you that it is likely that Connelly was just building up Flemmi as an informant. The articles I linked in my piece make it clear that this was an important case and all of the FBI was involved.
