Charles McGonigal, a retired counterintelligence investigator from the FBI’s New York Field Office, was just arrested because he allegedly took substantial sums of money from Oleg Deripaska, a Russian billionaire, to get the latter off a U.S. sanctions list. Where this goes beyond the ordinary corruption that periodically crops up among people with too much power, too few morals, and too little accountability is that McGonigal was one of the people investigating Trump over the Russia Hoax, while Deripaska employed Christopher Steele, whose false dossier seeded the Russia Hoax.
Anyone who paid attention during the “hot” years of the Russia Hoax recognizes Deripaska’s name.

The rot is deep in the FBI and has been for years. It is time to clean house and arrest those who lied, cheated, spent millions of taxpayers money trying to feed the lie to honest Americans and ruined others lives.

Has it gone too far? Not just the FBI. Trump tried. I think it's probably too late now. Rome was great while it lasted.

The enemy has outed itself. We know who they are and what they have done and continue to do. The question we must ask ourselves is can we reclaim the power the left has stolen from us or are we now going to be just observers of the demise of this Republic?

Eliminate the FBI. Give these louts a quick and painless death. The “good” people in the FBI will easily find work elsewhere. They’re no longer necessary.

The corruption in government extends far beyond the FBI. The FBI is only the most visible part for now.

We figured this out when they began the early morning SWAT raids of non-threatening people and an innocent President because Leftists do not like him. The Feebs need to go, Wray should go yesterday.

Lots of facts of a corrupt FBI but no action. I’m very weary of the continued display of broken law but no enforcement or penalty. Oh for some law makers. Why waste time crowing about impeaching a sitting president when he is protected by a sanctioned goon squad? Please Congress, throw out the trash!

Oh well, this won't get reported much further than right here. If it is reported further it will be because McGonigal was once a Trump employee.

Sheesh. Everyone seems to think this is something new. Remember Eliot Ness and his Untouchables? Feds who were honorable and honest? The Untouchables got their nickname because they were the glaring exception, the outliers, the oddballs. The assumption was that all feds were NEITHER honorable NOR honest. Hence the singling out those who were. And that was 100 years ago.
And before anyone goes off on J Edgar as a bad guy because he compiled blackmail dirt on everyone in DC, just remember that all he did was gather up dirt that was already there. It seems everyone in DC was dirty. Hard to stay clean swimming in a sewer. And again, almost 100 years ago.

Remember, this is the same organization that defended the murder by one of their snipers of a woman holding her baby standing in a doorway in rural Montana. Why? Because her husband was set up and goaded into selling an undercover agent a sawed off shotgun. So, yeah, they are a criminal organization.

Fruit of the poison tree, and the likely catalyst for expunging the impeachment of President Trump.

#19. 'Twas rural Idaho. Not Montana. Most all of those involved in the Ruby Ridge murders...still around. Bob Barr being one. To my knowledge these jack booted thugs were instrumental in the Waco massacre. I assume no one lost their job for the murders. And, probably no law enforcement person did any time.

The fact that the FBI arrested one of their own is, to me, an indication that they threw him under the Greyhound to protect something bigger.

I have been calling for the complete destruction of the FBI/KGB and NO replacement for years.
This agency cannot be reformed, only erased.
