Irony: Ex-FBI Agent Who Probed Trump’s Russia Ties Is Under Investigation for Russia Ties

A former FBI agent who once investigated then President Donald Trump’s ties to Russia is now under investigation for his own relationship with a Russian oligarch, Insider reports. Court documents allege investigators are looking into ties between Oleg Deripaska and Charles McGonigal, who once led counterintelligence at the FBI’s New York City field office. Deripaska is a billionaire oligarch and Kremlin aide who was at the center of allegations in 2016 that Russia colluded with the Trump campaign.

The investigation appears to center around McGonigal’s work with a shady consulting firm owned by Deripaska, Spectrum Risk Solutions, which he did not disclose. Failing to disclose it may land McGonigal in hot water with the Foreign Agents Registration Act. Even if cleared of any violations, however, a witness subpoena says prosecutors are also looking into whether McGonigal had ties to the government of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and whether he may have received “payments or gifts” from the governments of Kosovo, Montenegro, and Albania.

  1. When asked on Thursday to comment on his alleged corrupt foreign ties and his hypocritical witch hunt against Donald Trump, former FBI agent Charles McGonigal told reporters: “Why am I being treated differently than President Biden? Why don’t you ask HIM about HIS crooked overseas investments and corrupt foreign ties?”
    “As far as the hypocrisy angle is concerned,” Mr. McGonigal said, “let’s just say that because I have plenty of personal experience in dealing crookedly with foreign elements, THAT makes me highly qualified to build up a false allegation against Trump, and him colluding with foreign elements.”
    “Moreover,” McGonigal added, “pursuing Trump on phony allegations of collusion with foreign elements was the perfect cover for me to engage in criminal activity with foreign elements. I mean, no one would suspect me of this type of crime if I’m the hero who falsely accuses others of committing these very same crimes. Does that answer you question?”

  2. What took you guys so long to report this? We knew about this yesterday already.

    Must have killed you to post this.

  3. Slowly slowly they’re waking up the world to the crimes of the FBI, just like they’ve been doing about the crimes of the last few presidents and CIA.
