  They don't want too many people feeling doomed at the same time or they will stop spending money.
context: And on January 23, a bomb dropped: We learned that the latest of these is Charles McGonigal, the former head of counterintelligence for the FBI in New York, who ended up working for billionaire oligarch Oleg Deripaska, a major target in the Trump Russia investigation. McGonigal was indicted in Manhattan on charges of money laundering, violating U.S. sanctions, and other counts relating to his alleged ties to Deripaska. He was also indicted in Washington, where he was accused of concealing $225,000 he allegedly received from a New Jersey man employed long ago by Albanian intelligence. >
  
  Does everyone remember when people said Comey got pressure from the NY FBI office to come out publicly 2 weeks before the election concerning Clinton and emails? >
  
  This is what's so weird about Republicans obsession with this. They want to investigate the FBI, but they don't seem to understand that more likely than not the FBI was trying to take down dems and not necessarily Trump. Comey destroyed all hope for Hilary and handed Trump the win. Trump then turns around and fires him...I really don't understand how they cannot see two feet in front of them. >
  
  When you construct reality to align with your beliefs, it doesn't have to make sense. If there was an investigation that found the FBI did in fact help Trump get elected, they would take the headline "Crooked FBI wanted to get Trump elected" and shorten it to "crooked FBI wanted to get Trump" >
  
  Ever since this guy got indicted, I've been thinking about those stories from 2016 where a few FBI agents were saying the New York field office was "Trumplandia".
  Still blows my mind that "law and order" FBI types would be cheerleaders for a clown grifter from Queens... >
  
  Trump was rumored to have been an informant against the italian mob in favor of (you guessed it) the russian mob.
  So, it seems like the FBI office was captured by the Russian mob/organized crime.
  Old KGB joke: "Russian organized crime? Who do you think organized them?" >
  
  Giuliani’s father was an enforcer for Luchese crime family. Rudy’s whole life story has been a sham. >
  
  “His father Harold Giuliani, an often unemployed plumber and bartender, was convicted of felony assault and robbery, and served prison time in Sing Sing. After prison, he worked for his brother-in-law (Rudy’s uncle) in Brooklyn as an enforcer for a mob-affiliated loan sharking and gambling ring.” source >
  
  Feels like the news should be covering this more than say the Murdaugh story or Tom Brady retiring. It's a pretty terrifying thing to see how deep Russia had an in. If it went as high as a guy with McGonigals resources they are in a loooooong of places within the organization >
  
  I cannot help but think most news outlets are in on this shit by how much it seems like they try to look the other way whenever a real bombshell drops.
  We're doomed.
