13. New Yorker: "Was There a Connection Between a Russian Bank and the Trump Campaign?"

Sat Jan 11, 2025, 03:09 PM

Jan 2025

The FBI was well aware of this but instead put out misinformation about HRC and
her emails as the top agent working to look into any connections between Trump

But the FBI agent in NYC in charge of looking into Trump and Russia
was being paid off by Vlad Putin via Oleg Dirapaska. His name is
McGonigal and very quickly he pled guilty and went to Federal Prison real quick and
his name is never spoken about ever. McGonigal also got the NY Times to write misleading
shit about Trump, Russia, and HRC too.

Comey knowingly rat fucked the Clinton campaign when he was fully aware of Alfa Bank
and Trump.
