A former top FBI official in New York has been arrested over his ties to a Russian oligarch, law enforcement sources told ABC News Monday.

Charles McGonigal, who was the special agent in charge of counterintelligence in the FBI's New York Field Office, is under arrest over his ties to Oleg Deripaska, a Russian billionaire who has been sanctioned by the United States and criminally charged last year with violating those sanctions.

McGonigal retired from the FBI in 2018. He was arrested Saturday afternoon after he arrived at JFK Airport following travel in Sri Lanka, the sources said.

My guess, is he was going to talk to the House about what the FBI did in the Russia investigation. This is to shut him up.

If that's true he's about to meet Mr Epstein.

Sorry but rational, decent Americans have lost trust in the FBI. Not until those that have covered for the Clinton,Biden, Pelosi crime families are identified and are held accountable will the FBI have any hope of ever again being trusted.

So this Fing fraud leftist pos framed Trump officials for non existent Russian collusion.

Meanwhile, he is and probably was getting rich colluding with Russia.

IF we had a media in this country the Democrat party would barely exist.

There should be a Broadway play named “Hillary’s Dead Friends: Arkancide Cannot Keep Us Down” and the characters should all be Hillary’s dead associates.

Bingo. Anyone who somehow thinks this guy will start dropping truth bombs on the plot against Trump is not paying attention.

He was indicted in the Southern District of New York. The most anti-Trump district in the nation (worse than DC).

Think about it......

The same office that persecuted Trump endlessly now controls this guys fate. I don’t doubt that he was dirty, but he is now silenced. Bigly.

Their biggest investigation that was hyped to be the end of Trump was that the Trump organization “overvalued assets” when put up as collateral for loans. It went nowhere.

The irony is that Trump told the banks “this is what we value the property at but you should do your own (objective) appraisal”.

The biggest irony? Trump was low on the eventual valuation of the properties when they used them as collateral. A real crime there isn’t it? I think my property is worth 200 million. The bank agrees after their own valuation. The property is eventually worth 250 million during the course of the loan. Prosecutors accuse me of “overvaluing my asset”. Apparently a partisan prosecutor knows more about property valuation than a successful real estate developer and bankers. Neat trick.

You really cannot make this stuff up. They finally got one executive in the Trump organization to plead guilty to not declaring income for corporate perks. That was it. Pathetic. A charge that you could likely bring against most CEO’s and politicians in the country to include those who run “not for profits”.

How long have they “known” about this guy and his relationship? Look at the dates. Did they choose to wait until after the mid-terms?

Look for more “indictments” soon.

So now, “ties” to an “oligarch” get you arrested by the FBI secret police.

Guess being associated with Bill Gates or Warren Buffet or the Google kids is still ok.

It has gotten to the point where when they accuse the conservatives (and/or Trump) of something, you start wondering which and home many democrats are doing that exact thing.

I’m guessing McGonigal isn’t so great after all.

He was one of the prime movers in assembling the Knowingly Fraudulent Evidence for Russia, Russia, Russia, with the intent of removing Legally Elected Sitting President Donald Trump.

I don't believe they need to name a crime, he's Guilty of ALL of "em.
