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.

“The former top FBI agent for counterintelligence in New York has been charged with a former Soviet diplomat with violating U.S. sanctions on Russia by providing services to the oligarch Oleg Deripaska.”

“Charles McGonigal also was charged Monday in Washington in connection with accepting $225,000 in cash — while working at the FBI — from a former employee of a foreign intelligence service.”

Ties to Russian oligarch? Like a noted US Senator?

“… John McCain spent his 70th birthday with Oleg Deripaska and Rick Davis on a Russian Yacht at anchor in Montenegro.”

McCain was a foul ball with most of his foreign alliances.

As far as Russian Oligarchs, what I've learned is they are like European Oligarchs, or Chinese Oligarchs, or Middle Eastern Oligarchs, or American Oligarchs, their loyalties shift as fast as the global economic situations, and they always are loyal to their own pockets first.

I no longer trust ANY media to properly apply a national identifier to the derogatory "Oligarch".

As an example: I note that the Hungarian Oligarch, George Soros is staying out of the news lately, however the American Philanthropist George Soros, is not.

One man's Philanthropist is another mans, Oligarch.

OOPs, wrong thread, I had two up.

Below is a link to an opinion piece from American Thinker on the subject. The rot is deep and probably treasonous in this nation’s FBI.
