'The story of the FBI’s dangerously corrupt Trump-Russia 'collusion' investigation keeps getting worse. Former FBI agent Charles McGonigal is looking to plead guilty to one or more charges for illegally working with a Russian oligarch.' -L0neStarTrooper
Prosecutors determined that McGonigal “acted on behalf of” Oleg Deripaska for profit in 2021 in various ways, including trying to help him get past American sanctions.McGonigal was not just any FBI employee. He was chief of the cybercrimes section in Washington, D.C., and later head of counterintelligence in New York. He was also involved in the “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation of Trump at its earliest stage.
As shown by the anti-Trump statements of the people involved and assistance from the Clinton campaign, the operation was politically motivated from the beginning. It had the added effect of influencing public opinion due to the legacy media’s parroting of the collusion narrative. Half of voters believed it by 2017, and that belief persisted throughout Trump’s presidency, polling showed. Deripaska was ironically one of the figures the media used to try to establish Trump-Russia connections.
