The New York Post has reported that journalist John Connolly died Saturday at 78 after a brief illness, according to his longtime partner.

The Vanity Fair reporter was immediately lionized by New York scribes who praised Connolly, a former cop and Wall Streeter, as a legendary scoop machine who investigated everyone from Michael Jackson to Jeffrey Epstein.

But we will remember him chiefly for the outing he received from Mike Rinder and Marty Rathbun as a longtime Scientology spy.
