So, I’m not sure where to put this as there are many, many implications. I could start a thread, but then people would have to find it. I could put it in one of the many, many Hillary Email threads, where it does have relevancy.
But I think I’m going to put this here. Because as important as Russian interference in the 2016 election was, the Department of Justice interference in the 2016 election was even worse.
And they may be tied.
I’m introducing a name to the discussion which has not been mentioned on the SDMB before, Charles McGonigal. Who is he, you may ask?
Why he is the man put in charge of the Counterintelligence division of the Eastern District of NY Attorney General’s office by James Comey, in October 2016.
Anybody remember this?
The source for this article has never been revealed.
(Also, at the same time, Hillary’s Emails was reaching its peak. On October 28, 2016, the same day McGonigal takes his new spot, Comey sends his infamous letter to Congress knowing full well it would be leaked.)
OK, let’s go back to 2016. We had two FBI investigations going on BOTH candidates. How were they handled by the DOJ?
From:
The article opens with a description of how agents were originally notified. And who was one of the agents in Operation Crossfire from its start in July, 2016?
Charles McGonigal.
So, Charles McGonigal was in charge of the hush-hush (in 2016) Trump Russia probe. Someone with the authority got the NY Times to release a front page exclusive declaring no ties between Trump and Russia. He gets promoted to a place where he could watch, possibly manage, Mueller.
And two days ago he gets arrested for being a spy/agent for Oleg Deripaska while working for the FBI!
He just pled not guilty this morning.
Jesus fucking Christ, you will never, ever convince me this guy wasn’t on the make for Russia re: Trump’s investigation. Fuck burden of proof, my opinion isn’t a court of law.
