Defense lawyer claims involvement in keeping corrupt FBI agent John Connolly imprisoned, implicating Florida State Attorney and Bulger brothers The passage provides a first‑person claim that a Florida state attorney (Katherine Fernandez Rundle) helped keep FBI agent John Connolly incarcerated, and it links Connolly to the Whitey and Billy Bulger network. While it names high‑profile figures, it offers no concrete evidence, dates, or transaction details, limiting immediate investigative value. However, the alleged coordination between a state prosecutor and a federal corruption case could merit follow‑up, especially to verify the attorney’s role and any communications with the prosecution. Key insights: Author is a defense lawyer who says he assisted a Florida State Attorney in keeping John Connolly in prison.; Katherine Fernandez Rundle is identified as the State Attorney of Dade County, successor to Janet Reno.; John Connolly is described as a former high‑ranking FBI agent who tipped off Whitey and Billy Bulger.
