FBI report: Feds ‘obsessed’ with agent

Here's a story from the Boston Herald that you don't here often:
A pivotal witness against jailed FBI agent John J. Connolly Jr. was told he would ``die in prison'' if he didn't help ``obsessed'' prosecutors make their case against him, according to an FBI debriefing obtained by the Herald.
The witness, former New England gangland boss Francis ``Cadillac Frank'' Salemme, also boasted that he lied on the stand to appease prosecutors intent on convicting Connolly, according to a mob snitch debriefed in the 10-page FBI ``302'' report.
