A former FBI honcho who was involved with the investigation of former President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign is being investigated over his alleged ties to Russia and other foreign governments. The major differences between the former agent and Trump is that the latter was innocent and was the target of a political hit job.
Special Agent Charles McGonigal who was assigned to head the counterintelligence division of the FBI New York City field office in October 2016 is being investigated. An unnamed individual was subpoenaed last year for information about McGonigal's alleged involvement with a top aid to Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, according to court documents obtained by Insider.
It is unknown whether the grand jury is still convened or whether it was investigating McGonigal or someone with whom he had dealings. The documents did not suggest McGonigal had broken any law but may suggest that he is a woke stooge of a politically corrupt law enforcement agency that does the bidding of the Left.
The subpoena requested information on the former FBI official and the consulting firm Spectrum Risk Solutions.
Soon after the subpoena was issued, Sergey Shestakov, a former top Soviet Foreign Ministry official, filed as a foreign agent for Yevgenyi Fokin, a top aid to Deripaska. Shestakov’s filing showed that McGonigal aided Shestakov in making connections between Fokin and Spectrum, and Fokin and the law firm Kobre & Kim.
“If McGonigal is mixed up in any way shape or form with Deripaska, that strikes me as unseemly, to put it politely,” Tim Weiner, who wrote “Enemies: A History of the FBI,” told Insider.
McGonigal had previously headed the FBI Field Office in Washington, D.C. in counterintelligence and was one of the first FBI officials to hear claims that a Trump campaign official told an Australian diplomat that the Russians had damaging information on then-Democratic presidential candidate, the execrable Hillary Clinton. The bureau also began receiving briefings from former British spy Christopher Steele that became known as the Steele Dossier and proven to be a load of crap.

McGonigal was also key in launching Crossfire Hurricane, the FBI operation into the Trump campaign's alleged ties to Russia, which turned out to be hogwash, as the subsequent Mueller investigation discovered.
On October 4, 2016 then-Director and close consultant to the Lord, James Comey, promoted McGonigal to head the counterintelligence division in the NYC Field Office.

So is McGonigal a Russian colluder? A scumbag with a badge? A seditionist?
Perhaps we will find out, so stay tuned.
