  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...
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.
