  Nice strawman. The article says that the FBI conspired with the New York times to corrupt the 2016 election for Trump. Trump won in 2016 just like Biden won in 2020. The electoral college / popular vote has nothing to do with this article.
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. >
  
  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 >
  
  
  How is it possible that I knew all sorts of stuff about Donald Trump, and the FBI didn’t seem to have a clue? Or if they did, why weren’t they doing anything with it?
  
  It's because they are ok with part of the organized crime. Just look at how the Great Prohibition was handled, or how Giuliani went after some crime families but not others, or how Iran-Contra was set up. 
  Law enforcement agencies create the winners among criminals, and Trump was the front of a team on the winning side. >
  
  Whitey Bulger (Irish mob in Boston) acted as an informant against the Italian mob in Boston(and Providence/New England) with his corrupt FBI agent, which allowed him to operate with some impunity. >
  
  GOP house wants to investigate the weaponization of the federal government and misdeeds of the FBI.
  Here You Go! >
  
  No not that way! >
  
  This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 94%. (I'm a bot)
  
  
  Trump Tower was a home away from home for Vyacheslav Ivankov, one of the most brutal leaders of the Russian mafia, and at least 13 people with known or alleged links to the mafia held the deeds to, lived in, or ran alleged criminal operations out of Trump Tower in New York or other Trump properties.
  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.
  A serious counterintelligence investigation would presumably have asked how the KGB began its relationship with Trump and whether Trump had been compromised first by the Soviets and later by Russia.

  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. >
  
  The FBI in general did. Comey was and always will be the villian that gave the presidency to Trump. >
  
  Exactly and I do not buy his explanation at all. He coordinated with the GOP to conduct a smear campaign versus Clinton and used the FBI to do it. He's a seditionist. >
  
  
  He coordinated with the GOP to conduct a smear campaign versus Clinton
  
  Is this your opinion or is there evidence of this? >
  
  
  He coordinated with the GOP to conduct a ~~smear campaign~~ public investigation versus Clinton
  
  I've removed my opinion >
  
  What is the evidence he coordinated with the GOP about anything Clinton-related? >
  
  other than his excuse that he made the public statements he did about the Clinton investigation because the GOP asked him to? >
  
  Which public statements?
  I'm not trying to argue I'm genuinely asking, this isn't an easy thing to google. >
  
  I can't watch a 15 minute video right now but I read that NPR article plus this one from CNN with Comey's statement about why he informed Congress they'd found more emails. Neither article say anything about Comey coordinating with the GOP in making the decision to inform Congress about this. Is there something specific in the video? Maybe a timestamp you can give me? I can watch it later. >
  
  
  Are you at all familiar with email gate, James Comey or anything else about the 2016 election? >
  
  The FBI have produced data, every year, since 2014, that white nationalist groups have infiltrated every level of law enforcement…Even the FBI. >
  
  And that is probably why we aren’t seeing any justice - >
  
  If he did he didn't do so on his own. Giving up the people who he cooperated with will greatly reduce any prison sentence >
  
  Prison sentence?  For a cop?  For doing right wing shit?  In an imperialist nation?  
  Funny. >
  
  Aurora Borealis? At this time of day? At this time of year? In this part of the country? Localized entirety within your kitchen? >
  
  Yes >
  
  May I see it? >
  
  Word's been out about this pro-fascist group in the FBI for years. >
  
  Oleg Deripaska is the Kevin Bacon of Russia. >
  
  Comey with his announcement of investigating Clinton but not telling the public he was also investigating Trump at the same time, imo, did it. Then a few months later he resigned/got fired because Trump wanted him to swear loyalty to him and end the Russian investigation. Turns out Comey probably shouldn't announced his Clinton investigation at all. Maybe he would've still be in his former position today if he didn't do that? >
  
  Holy shit. Please read this article.
  I fear this will be buried but wow, this is massive, one of the biggest potential stories in modern American history.
  This is one of those times “shocking” is an apt descriptor. 
  Goes deep-and it’s astounding. >
  
  Enemy of the state. >
  
  This makes total sense as to why Rudy was rabidly working in Trumps favor in his election fraud scheme. Those Russian strings were being pulled and debts were becoming due. 
  Watch out for those windows and staircases my man. >
  
  Donnie asks Vladi and Vladi passes out the word and their man in NYC does his thing. Money is paid and received, no doubt.
  And, James Comey reports it duly to the press.
  But, Mueller sees no evil.
  But, Rod Rosenstein sees no evil.
  We're waiting to see if AG Merrick Garland can figure it out. >
  
  From everything I've seen, Merrick Garland seems to be nothing but a coward that is too scared to actually do his job. >
  
  Fraud Business of Intimations (FBI!!!) >
  
  Of course he did. And Comey handled the rest. >
  
  They must investigate Comey. 
  Comey was in on that, too. >
  
  they did But like with everything nothing happened. >
  
  I have the impression that this McGonagall person will not be long among the living >
  
  Sounds like we need to purge our government of every last traitor with ties to Russia.  Make it a real witch hunt- even a vague suggestion of Russian ties, get them out. >
  
  find a hole, put him in hole, forget about hole >
  
  Of course he did. >
  
  Of fucking course he did. Him and the many other members of the federal government that work with russia >
  
  Let’s call him the “former fraudulently elected, false claimer of other side fraudulent elections failed President Mango Unchained” >
  
  You’re off the case, McGonigal! >
  
  Can you say "preponderance of evidence? >

  Lock him up! >
  
  Yeah but the Right is anti-fbi tho lol >
  
  Here's another question. Was he conspiring with James Comey? >
  
  Oooh that is a good question! I doubt any msm journalists will actually ask it tho. >
  
  When does the book get thrown? I’m getting bored. >
  
  Waterboard and find out. I'm sure he's ordinarily pro. >
  
  Speaking of, wasn't there some Fox News Shit-weasel that wanted to get one done that still hasn't? >
  
  Sean Hannity >
  
  Trump won by about 80k votes in 3 states. If the Democrats hadn’t assumed that they could easily beat this orange grifter and actually campaigned hard Hillary would’ve won. >
  
  Can't be. Only Democrats cheat and rig elections. >
  
  Lol people want to deny trump won in 2016 just like people want to deny Biden win in 2020. >
  
  
  trump won in 2016
  
  Not quite the same. Trump lost the popular vote and squeaked in on an electoral college vote. Biden won big on both. >
  
  This sounds like denialism. >
  
  The comment you responded to is a simple statement of fact.  I think you need to reread your script. >
  
  Trump won in 2016 and Biden won in 2020. There - fixed your comment! >
  
  Trump lost the popular vote but won the election. That's a simple statement of fact and to try to equate it with denying election results outright is just sad. That really is the best you can do, isn't it?
