Charles McGonigal, a former FBI agent who helped lead the investigation into Trump-Russia connections, is expected to plead guilty to charges of unlawfully working for a Russian oligarch.

In an ironic turn of events, one of the individuals who worked tirelessly to take down former President Donald Trump by falsely accusing him of secretly collaborating with Russian officials and hackers was, in fact, the one engaging with influential Russians at the time.

McGonigal, 54, a former top FBI counterintelligence agent based in New York, was charged in January with money laundering and violating United States sanctions by working for a Russian oligarch and business magnate named Oleg Deripaska.

--- "...In an ironic turn of events, one of the individuals who worked tirelessly to take down former President Donald Trump by falsely accusing him of secretly collaborating with Russian officials and hackers was, in fact, the one engaging with influential Russians at the time."

It is a good -- nay, very good -- likelihood that many in the whole Trump take-down were on various interest groups' payrolls.

It is also so likely that all the same interests are working overtime to tamp down the obvious and daily erupting proof of the corruption of the Bidens and others within that circle.

In an ironic turn of events...

I wouldn't use the word 'ironic' here. 'Diabolical' might be a better fit.

"Death by Hanging would be Fair."

Hung, drawn and quartered is more to my liking.

[EVO X]

I doubt this reporting will make the MSM nightly news. Somebody please ping me if it does.

You will sleep soundly tonight.

It’s not in any way “ironic.”

Perhaps the author is using the word “ironic” in an ironic way.

[HYPOCRACY]

Give him the Rosenberg treatment.

My first thought also - when does he swing? Unless the consequences for treason are severe and permanent, it will grow.

[right way right]

Pleads guilty so that Bidun can pardon him.

Trump would let him swing.

Journalism majors from journalism schools teaching journalism? And yet all the OAN site does is send one to article after article.

Being curious, Brooke Mallory seems to have written a bunch if articles for OAN. Doing a serach for a reusme or bio --- https://www.oann.com/?s=brooke++mallory+bio -- only returns to her articles. Isn't that ironic?

Just cant make this up. Unbelievable.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Hope it was worth it.

Nah; tie him to a chair,
inject him with battery acid,
wait 10 seconds,
cut him loose,
WATCH HIM BOUNCE!

(and televise it on a pay channel)

Usually they fall back on the word “interesting”. So actually using the word ironic is much farther toward the truth than these dissemblers are usually willing to go.

[EVO X]

Ditto.

[Steely Tom]

It's like describing Robert Hanssen spying for the Soviet Union — while working in the FBI Counterintelligence program — as "ironic."

[lapsus calami]

 

 

Like a Cold War-era spy novel.

The irony is extraordinary.

2 months home confinement and 2 years probation, gets to keep whatever he was paid, tax free. Do I have that about right?
