The same FBI official accused of illegally working for a Russian oligarch also faces charges of concealing a $225,000 payment while he was working for the bureau, court papers say.
3 hots and a cot for Charlie McGonigal.
That NYC field office sure seems to be the garbage that keeps on stinking…
NY office of the FBI. A friend of Rudy’s?
It would be useful to know some of McGonigal’s history with the Bureau. Where he came from, how he worked his way up, and was his last position made before or after TFG took office.
…and so forth. 
Deripaska was also the source of a lot of $$$$$ for an aluminum plant in Kentucky which included some help from Moscow Mitch to get around sanctions.
Whoops. New York office, too. tsk tsk.
Somebody was flippin’ like a griddlecake:
“Person A” allegedly gave McGonigal $80,000 in cash in October 2017 “in a parked car” outside a New York City restaurant. The FBI official purportedly received two more lump sums from the person at his New Jersey home, of $65,000 and $80,000.
Why do I suspect this is the tip of the iceberg as far as corruption in the NYC FBI office…particularly during this time.
Lest we forget…
Federal prosecutors in Manhattan said Mr. McGonigal, 54, violated U.S. sanctions by agreeing to help Mr. Deripaska, who himself was indicted last year on sanctions charges.
Mr. Deripaska, an aluminum magnate with ties to President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia, was a client of Paul Manafort, who for several months in 2016 served as Donald J. Trump’s campaign chairman and in 2018 was convicted of financial fraud and other crimes.
…
Mr. McGonigal’s lawyer, Seth D. DuCharme, said his client intends to plead not guilty at his appearance in federal court in Manhattan on Monday.“Charlie served the United States capably, effectively, for decades,” said Mr. DuCharme. “We have closely reviewed the accusations made by the government and we look forward to receiving discovery so we can get a view on what the evidence is upon which the government intends to rely.”

Defund the Corrupt FBI!!
Person A? Zat you?
“Person A” allegedly gave McGonigal $80,000 in cash in October 2017 “in a parked car” outside a New York City restaurant."
Sounds phony. Who gets a parking spot in front of an NYC restaurant?
Yeah is this one of the guys that had it in for HRC?
But Her Emails. (Nope. Never gonna stop bringing it up. Will die mad over it.)
Huge bummer I think.
This plays into the hands of the wacko GOP conspiracy theorists.
So while the NYC FBI field office and James Comey were sniffing around Hillary Clinton’s email server a high ranking mole in that same office was selling the nation’s family jewels out of the back door of the FBI building there. Way to go Comey.
The NY Division of the FBI has been problematic for years. Clean the place out. It is past time to get rid of all the tainted personnel and reassign everyone else, while keeping a sharp eye on them.
Democrats have our work cut out for us going forward. Cleaning out all the rot in the alphabets is long over due.
Minor point, but the amount of money being discussed here is not “massive”. It wouldn’t even come close to setting a person up for life. Massive is the amount of money that SBF stole.
