….with a Russian Oligarch! This was one of the first FBI agents to initiate the wholly contrived investigation into Trump’s alleged “Russian Collusion.”

NOT the Bee! You can’t make this sh*+ up!



Ex-FBI official Charles McGonigal accused of helping Russian oligarch….

A former top FBI counterintelligence agent based in New York who investigated the Trump campaign’s alleged ties to Russia in 2016 is accused of illegally working for — a Russian!

Charles McGonigal was charged with money laundering and violating US sanctions law by working for Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, the Justice Department said Monday.

McGonigal, who led the bureau’s NYC counterintelligence division between 2016 and his retirement in 2018, was arrested Saturday evening at JFK Airport. He pleaded not guilty to four counts in Manhattan federal court Monday and was released on $500,000 bond.

Sergey Shestakov, a court interpreter who also worked for Deripaska, was also arrested Saturday at his home in Connecticut. He pleaded not guilty to five counts Monday and was released on $200,000 bond.

As part of his bond agreement, McGonigal agreed not to leave the continental US and to turn over his travel documents. Shestakov was barred from leaving Connecticut or the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York and agreed to electronic monitoring until he can hand in his passport next week.

McGonigal, 54, was also charged in a separate indictment out of Washington with concealing payments of $225,000 in cash from a former member of Albania’s intelligence service. He was scheduled to appear remotely in that case Wednesday….

Under federal law, McGonigal was required to report to the FBI contacts with foreign officials, but prosecutors allege that he hid that from his employer as he pursued business and foreign travel that created a conflict of interest with his law enforcement duties.

McGonigal, who also served as the cyber-counterintelligence section chief in Washington, was one of the first FBI agents to learn that a Trump campaign official claimed that the Russians had “dirt” on then-Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, which triggered the investigation that continued into Donald Trump’s presidency.

The 21-page New York indictment against McGonigal states that while employed by the bureau, he received then-classified information that Deripaska would be included on the list of Russian oligarchs with close ties to the Kremlin sanctioned by the US after Russia invaded and annexed Crimea in 2014….


SIAP.

He was also in charge of the investigation into US intelligence assets disappearing in China. The same ones that many believe were compromised by someone's homebrew email server.

So, Nancy and Chuck are going to allow one of their Ops to get whacked, and possibly spill the whole pan of beans? That must be why Nancy is calling in Priests to Exorcise her house. The 'Beast' is circling overhead.

Just so i have this right...

An FBI official who investigated Trump for illegal ties to Russia but found none has just been arrested for his own illegal ties to Russia?

The Bee should just declare bankruptcy tonight. It's over for them

Which country has received billions from the US after the Bidens cashed in on gas companies during Biden's VP status?

TigerDoc and Decatur will be here to argue this indictment is simply a Russian disinformation campaign.

It freaking amazes me how the MSM, D's and RINO's absolutely ignore this.

The loss of those assets directly coincides with her Closet Server.

HRC Lied and Assests Died. HRC and others.....profit.

Sad, so sad that there are so few in MSM and DC that stand for the US and her people.

Part of your problem is that you think in terms of good guys vs. bad guys fairy tales.

True.
Vast right wing conspiracy theories invariably are proven to be legitimate left wing conspiracies.
