Big (potential) Spy Scandal in America.

Charles McGonigal the FBI's head of Counter Intelligence at New York during Trump's presidency has just been charged for taking money whilst he was in office, from the Russians.

The story as being reported I'll give links to below but it is probably much easier to understand what really seems to be happening - and why this is such a big deal - by reading a thread of Timothy Snyder's tweets here - as in Snyder's words 'it goes beyond what is being reported in the press now -

(You need to click on the blue coloured 'read the full conversation...' contained in the tweet, to see the thread in full) -

In April 2016, I broke the story of Trump and Putin, using Russian open sources. Afterwards, I heard vague intimations that something was awry in the FBI in New York, specifically counter-intelligence and cyber. We now have a suggestion as to why. 0/20

As for what is being reported there is this from a former FBI Assistant Director who worked with McGonigal -

"This case is a stark reminder that they get up every day [in Russia] trying to hurt us, trying to penetrate our intelligence community and sometimes they get it right and they succeed, and it appears that they may have done it here..." - @FrankFigliuzzi1 w/ @NicolleDWallace pic.twitter.com/rZuA5v2tnZ

Beau was having a chat about this a few days ago.

Thanks Bonce but at the time of recording his video it would appear Beau was unaware of the full story as there were in fact TWO charges set against McGonigal, the one Beau talks about (helping some Oligarch avoid sanctions) and one he hasn't mentioned...

Charles McGonigal, 54, was also arrested on charges relating to his alleged acceptance of a $225,000 cash payment from a former foreign security officer, when he was special agent in charge for counter-intelligence at the FBI’s New York office.

It is the charge that basically he was being paid whilst head of Counter Intelligence at New York's FBI by a foreign spy!!!



If you've read Snyder's thread you will see the newly appointed House speaker has already after the news broke cut the top Democratic Congressman from the House Intelligence Committee because in Snyder's opinion the Republican Part rather cover for Trump and the Republican Party than do what is best for the country!

Back in June 2016, Kevin McCarthy expressed his suspicion that Donald Trump was under Putin's influence. He and other Republican members concluded that the risk of an embarrassment to their party was more important than American security. #RoadToUnfreedom, p. 255. 17/20

I'm also amazed that Beau had to spell out to the Trump supporters that if all this turns out to be true, is bad for Trump - just shows how dumb many folk really are!



Going off at a tangent the bloke who assaulted Hancock the other day is a well known Covid Vaccination denier!

People are utterly bonkers believing the shit they do!

I'm sure we'll be hearing more about this from Beau. He usually posts bite size chunks of information on a regular basis, so I'll try to keep across it. He's a busy boy on all fronts at the moment.
As for the Hancock abuser, what can I say. There's no reasoning with people like that.
