Former FBI Official charged by DOJ

Ex-FBI Official Involved in Trump-Russia Probe Indicted for Working on Behalf of Sanctioned Russian Oligarch

Charles McGonigal, a former FBI official involved in the investigation of Donald Trump’s ties to Russia, has been charged with violating sanctions and collaborating with Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, the Department of Justice announced today.

As we know, the Trump-Russian collusion was a hoax.

According to federal prosecutors, McGonigal received “concealed payments” from a Russian intelligence officer in exchange for his help in having sanctions targeting Deripaska lifted. McGonigal is being charged by the Federal District in Manhattan with additional counts relating to money laundering and conspiracy.

"Russian oligarchs like Oleg Deripaska perform global malign influence on behalf of the Kremlin and are associated with acts of bribery, extortion, and violence. As alleged, Mr. McGonigal and Mr. Shestakov, both U.S. citizens, acted on behalf of Deripaska and fraudulently used a U.S. entity to obscure their activity in violation of U.S. sanctions."

Is your intellectual curiosity stirred at all, Lynn, by the fact that the FBI found no collusion while this guy who was taking money from the Russians was running the investigations?

Is that suspicious at all? In the least bit? Maybe even a teeny tiny bit?

Why your sarcasm, anonymous?
This article is about a corrupt FBI guy and you're saying the FBI found no collusion. That's special, anonymous, just like you are.
Gosh, Democrats are so "intellectual."
