Charles McGonigal leaves court
The news media was abuzz over the arrest and indictment of retired FBI counter-intelligence officer Charles McGonigal for, among other things, working for a Russian oligarch he was previously tasked with investigating.
The buzz didn't last long. In only a few days what could have been, or maybe was, a colossal national security breach has disappeared from the click-bait media and its dead tree brothers. Every federal employee signs an oath that prohibits exactly what Mr. McGonigal is accused of doing. It amounts to treason, a punishment for which could be fatal. We shouldn't expect a daily record of the circumstances of this money-hungry weasel but it would be nice if there wasn't a conscious attempt to make this incident fade away.
Update: Miranda Devine of the New York Post explores the financial connections between Biden child Hunter, McGonigal, and a number of East European politician/gangsters. The Washington Examiner goes into the Albanian connection.
