Ah yes 50 months for treason as an internal high ranking agent. Just a slap on the wrist
RuZZia owned the people that were supposed to be investigating The Tromp Crime Family.
Don't worry, it's not for the benefit of my country (Russia) too. Only for the criminal top of it.
Light treason
"I committed a felony and as a former FBI special agent it causes me extreme emotional and physical pain. I stand before you today with a deep sense of remorse."
What he did, shat on the carpet? 50 months and this half-assed apology don't seem like a punishment for a treason for a top official.
He served as the special agent in charge of the Counterintelligence Division of the FBI's New York field office. In that position, McGonigal supervised and participated in investigations of Russian oligarchs, including Deripaska, to whom he provided impermissible services.
From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_McGonigal
In 2016, McGonigal was named Section Chief of the Cyber-Counterintelligence Coordination Section of the Counterintelligence Division. On October 4, 2016, it was announced that McGonigal was named "Special Agent in Charge of the Counterintelligence Division for the New York Field Office", appointed by James B. Comey.[3]
In March 2017, McGonigal expressed concern in a text message to then-FBI Deputy Assistant Director of the Counterintelligence Division Jennifer Boone that the surveillance warrant application on Carter Page could leak to the public after being presented to the United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.[7]
McGonigal retired from the FBI in 2018.[8]
it causes me extreme emotional and physical pain
That's the exact opposite of feeling remorse.
Remorse is about feeling bad about what you did to others or your country.
hey, law enforcement is a tough business, there are a lot of grey areas.. it's hard to know when it's okay and when it's not okay to become an asset of an agent of Putin's regime..
“Great work McConigal, they split America’s voters from ear to ear”
“Hey, I’m tryin ta eat lunch here”
For reference:
Ah, counter-counterintelligence.
This is the only thing I can think of when I see the surname McGonigal (although admittedly, the spelling is different).
I'm guessing that's a Harry Potter thing? I'm afraid I never got into it. Probably why my association is with the Scottish so-called poet. Maybe Rowling made an intentional reference?
that's Hardcastle McCormick, yeah
Great read. Thanks for that.
I've "enjoyed" McGonigall's "poetry" for years.
ROFL…. Quick! Ask if the Russian oligarch cares!
Of course he cares, who do you think gave the order to the judge?
That’s a real kick in the gonicles
Four years.
The prosecutors wanted 5 yrs, the felon wanted none. The judge pulled in the right direction here.
