A former FBI agent and senior official for counterintelligence operations in New York was arrested and charged for his involvement with a sanctioned Russian oligarch, according to Fox News.
Charles McGonigal, special agent in charge of the counterintelligence division of the FBI's New York field office from 2016 to 2018, allegedly violated U.S. sanctions by agreeing to provide services to Oleg Deripaska, a Russian who was charged in 2022 for violating sanctions against him.
McGonigal was among top FBI officials who learned of claims from President Donald Trump's team that Russia had compromising knowledge about then-candidate Hillary Clinton, which subsequently resulted in the years-long investigation into Trump's alleged ties to Russia.
McGonigal was charged alongside Sergey Shestakov, a former diplomat for the Soviet Union and then Russian Federation who went on to become a U.S. citizen and a Russian interpreter for both courts and government offices.
Both are charged with one count of conspiring to violate and evade U.S. sanctions, one count of violating the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, and one count of conspiring to commit money laundering as well as one count of money laundering. Each of these charges has a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

How about lying on an affidavit as well?
He’ll walk. He’s a hero to the Deep State.
And, he is an example of going after the low hanging fruit.
Its a fact that virtually everything they said Trump was doing, they themselves were/are doing.
IMO, mostly all of the FBI are criminals and crooks. And those who aren’t are completely invested in leftist ideology.
