A former top FBI official who led the agency's New York counterintelligence division, and played a key role in the Trump-Russia collusion probe, has been sentenced to 4 years in prison for colluding with Russia - and he may face an even longer sentence under a second indictment for hiding $225,000 in payments from a former Albanian intelligence officer.

Charles McGonigal, 55, was arrested in January and slapped with two separate indictments - one in New York and one in Washington, with the New York case related to taking nearly $200,000 in bribes from Russian oligarch Oleg V. Deripaska to investigate a rival oligarch, and the Washington case concerning the Albanian money.

Mr. McGonigal made at least $25,000 as an investigator for the law firm before directly working for Mr. Deripaska. He received an initial payment of $51,000 and then payments of $41,790 each month for three months from August 2021 to November 2021, the indictment said.

Prosecutors said Mr. McGonigal concealed his ties to the Russian oligarch by telling friends he was working for a “rich Russian guy” and stressed that his work was legal. In conversations about Mr. Deripaska, he would try to keep his employer’s identity a secret by referring to him as “the big guy” and “you know whom.” -Washington Times

McGonigal pleaded guilty in August after being hit with four initial corruption charges - including conspiring to evade U.S. sanctions, money laundering, conspiring to commit money laundering and conspiring to violate federal law against doing business with sanctioned individuals. Each count carried a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

Bc if was all that important, I'm sure that at least ONE other person had a copy!

And if it was as all that important evidence for the "Russia interfered with our elections" case, don't you think it would have surfaced during criminal charges?

I doubt such a binder even exists.

Seriously, doofus, you're recycling debunked shit from back then. It stinks even worse now.

SECOND: Signym, you failed to read to the end: "no obvious leads for the location of the binder, which could expose some of America’s most closely guarded national security secrets." Somebody who should NOT have top secrets has top secrets they can sell. That's the problem, Signym.

Charles McGonigal would be the kind of person who can sell top secrets. He retired from the FBI in 2018. Since he was born June 23, 1968, 50 years old is considered "early retirement". (Special agents with 20 years of federal law enforcement service are eligible to retire at age 50. Agents with 25 or more years of service are eligible for retirement, regardless of age.) https://work.chron.com/fbi-agent-salary-upon-retirement-26660.html

Nobody knows how many binders Charles McGonigal took home, waiting for the opportunity to sell them but he did need additional income because of personal matters (including adultery ):

If such a binder went missing ... why the hell would they tell us?? What are we, the hoi poloi, supposed to do with that info?
BOLO for a top secret binder in our trash bins or something?

You would think that its absence should remain a deep dark secret.

There's only one reason to float that story, and that's to pin the blame on someone. Trump, specifically, is where they're aiming.
And in that case, given the improbability that "they" would voluntarily reveal a major fuckup in their security, and considering the number of LIES they made up whole cloth about Trump and Russia, this is probably just another lie.

And if not ... well, their history of extensive lying has caught up with them, as it should.

How do we know Charles McGonigal exists? Have you known him in real life? Signym, you have a habit of declaring everything a lie when it works out to be convenient for you. Also, you have powerful attachments to conspiracy theories. Again, the particular conspiracies you believe just so happen to work out to be convenient for you.

How do you know there was a Confederacy? Were you there during the Civil War?

How do you know the climate is changing? Do you have direct, worldwide, centuries-long experience of how the climate was "then" and how it is now?

How do you know what "Trumptards" think? Have you met every single one? In fact, how do you know that anything about me that you CLAIM to know? Have you met me?

Virtually everything you know, you know very, very indirectly. Should you trash everything you know bc you don't have direct experience with it?

I tend to trash what individuals or organizations say when they

have an interest in lying,
a strong history of lying,
when it doesn't make sense, or
when there is no strong corroborating evidence.

In this case, the establishment has no interest in making up some guy - one of "theirs" - who confessed to selling secrets.

But they have a strong proven hx of lying about Trump and trying to smear him as a Russian collaborator.

Trump is being charged but NOT FOR THIS. THIS is just another piece of crap thrown against the media wall to see if it can be made to stick, and just as bogus the Trump!Russia!Collusion! lie that was perpetrated against Trump and the American people.

BTW, I think you're bogus, too.
