  • OT: Colluding with Russia!

    From Alan@21:1/5 to All on Fri Dec 15 10:38:33 2023
    So the guy who was supposed to be investigating Donald Trump for
    colluding with Russia...

    ...has been sentenced for 4 years in prison...

    ...for colluding with Russia:

    'Dec. 15 (UPI) -- A former high-ranking FBI agent was sentenced to more
    than four years in prison Thursday for colluding with a Russian oligarch.

    Charles McGonigal, who was a counterintelligence officer in the bureau's
    New York field office, pleaded guilty to a conspiracy charge in
    September and his lawyers had petitioned the court for no prison time
    because he worked with the Russian oligarch, Oleg Deripaska, on counterespionage operations on behalf of the U.S.'

    'Which brings us back to McGonigal. After assuming his new job in
    October 2016, just a month before the election, he would have been in a position to undermine the bureau’s investigation into Deripaska and
    Manafort and to sabotage those investigations with disinformation.
    Similarly, he would have been in a position to leak the information
    about Anthony Weiner’s laptop that led to the reopening of the FBI probe
    into Hillary Clinton’s emails 11 days before the election. Finally, he
    was in a position to have been a source behind the false exculpatory
    news published by The New York Times on October 31, 2016, a week before
    the election, with the headline that seemed give to Trump a clean bill
    of health: “Investigating Donald Trump, F.B.I. Sees No Clear Link to Russia.”'

    WTF does this have to do with golf? Ever pay your tax bill in full?
