from Revolver News:
Charles McGonigal +666666666666666666666666666may be the most corrupt FBI official in modern history—and yet somehow, his name has barely made a blip on the radar. This wasn’t some mid-level pencil-pusher. McGonigal was one of the top counterintelligence agents at the FBI’s New York field office. He was directly involved in the bureau’s most sensitive operations, including the infamous “Crossfire Hurricane” probe into (phony) Trump–Russia “collusion.” And after that whole fraudulent mess, it turns out that he was secretly taking money from a Kremlin-linked oligarch and helping shake down Albanian oligarchs on the side. You can’t make this up, right?

Now here we are, with Kash Patel and Dan Bongino stepping into FBI leadership roles under Trump 2.0—which is great. But somehow, Charles McGonigal’s name is still off the radar. And that needs to change.
Because if we’re going to clean house, we need to clean all of it.
This isn’t some minor HR issue being swept under the rug. This is the rot at the heart of the Deep State—buried deep inside the FBI.
The Washington Examiner lays out just how deep this corruption goes—and just how quiet the system has been about it:
McGonigal, a high-flyer in the bureau, fell into disgrace and worse after his 2018 retirement from the FBI when it was revealed that, while serving as the powerful head of counterintelligence at the New York Field Office, he got into bed with a top Kremlin oligarch and shady Albanians. He did so for cash.
McGonigal wasn’t just dirty—he was embedded deep inside the FBI during one of the most politically sensitive times in recent history. The Washington Examiner piece goes on:
In late 2016, his counterspy office in New York participated in the FBI’s investigation into Trump’s alleged ties to the Kremlin, the notorious Operation Crossfire Hurricane. Yet, just a couple of years later, McGonigal was on the payroll of Oleg Deripaska, a leading Kremlin oligarch who featured prominently in that investigation.
But it wasn’t just Russia. McGonigal had ties to a socialist prime minister, dirty intelligence operatives, and possibly millions in kickbacks. The Washington Examiner piece continues:
In 2023, he was sentenced to four years in prison for illegally working for Deripaska. In early 2024, McGonigal received an additional 28-month sentence for concealing his $225,000 payment by Albanian intelligence… The Justice Department showed no interest in the wider implications of the case.
