like a politician , connolly had certain `` talking '' points he seemed to want to get across each time he was interviewed : that he 'd never done anything wrong in handling bulger and flemmi ; that the crime bosses were merely a `` gang of two '' who helped the fbi take out the boston branch of an international criminal organization ; that bulger and flemmi did have permission from the fbi to commit certain crimes-gambling and loan-sharking-while gathering intelligence ; that john morris was `` an evil guy '' ; and that prosecutors wyshak , kelly , and herbert had no business indicting the fbi 's informants back in 1995 .
