Oh, what a tangled web we weave, FBI
0:04
You did deceive because one of your top agents who was in the middle, not in the middle
0:10
at the forefront of the Trump Russiagate investigation. Well, he's been arrested
0:16
What's going on there, folks? We're going to get right to that. But as always and ever, I ask you to please like, comment, share and subscribe

Please follow us at Explain America on Facebook. I'm not just saying these things
0:30
They are very important things to do. So we really love reading your comments, too
0:34
You guys are sometimes hilarious, but sometimes very thought-provoking. And you give us some good insights
0:40
We love reading that stuff. So please keep commenting. So Charles McGonigal, or Charlie McGonigal, as he's known, he was arrested
0:50
He was arrested today, and he was charged with trying to help a Russian oligarch
0:57
get around U.S. sanctions. So he was trying to assist this Russian oligarch who had been sanctioned
1:02
by the government of the United States to get around those sanctions. This, of course, is a crime
1:09
The sanctions are there for a reason. But the interesting thing about Mr. McGonigal
1:14
not only was he at the middle of the Trump Russiagate investigation
1:17
worried apparently about Russian interference, and then he goes on to help a Russian oligarch, but I digress
1:23
Not only was he at the center of the Trump Russia investigation
1:28
he was one of the first people to trigger the investigation. You see, he was one of the first people to learn that former Trump campaign advisor
1:37
George Papadopoulos, supposedly told an Australian diplomat that he had political dirt from Russia on Hillary Clinton
1:46
So former Deputy Assistant Director Jonathan Maffa told the Senate Judiciary Committee
1:52
in 2020 that he got a July 2016 email from McGonigal. And in that email from McGonigal contained essentially that reporting
2:01
which then served as the basis for the opening of the case. That's gigantic
2:06
So the email from McGonigal was consistent with the report that served as the basis for opening the case
2:14
That's not just being at the center of the Trump Russia scandal
2:19
That's being the start, the flint, the spark that lit the fire, as it were
2:27
to begin the Trump Russiagate collusion nonsense that went on for years
2:33
that totally hampered a presidency, that totally handicapped and handcuffed the President of the United States from doing his job
2:43
And it handcuffed this country. It held this country hostage, essentially. And now he's arrested for plotting with a Russian oligarch
2:54
to get around US sanctions against him. This Russiagate conspiracy, this Russiagate nonsense
3:04
the rabbit hole goes so very deep, folks. We have just scratched the surface of what's going to happen
3:10
What does McGonigal know? What does McGonigal know? Are they afraid he's going to speak
3:17
Might he speak to save his hide now? What does he know about the Trump Russia investigation
3:23
I'd love to know it. I know you'd love to know it. And we're going to keep following it here at Explain America
3:28
So please keep tuning in night after night while we bring you the news that's important
3:32
to you and fellow conservatives. And that's why we ask you to like, to comment, to share, to subscribe
3:37

3:43
And if they do, they're going to put a little rosy spin on it and not tell you these fine details that we're telling you here
3:49
Folks, that's it for today. Again, we appreciate you guys for tuning in
3:53
God bless you. We love you. Take care, everybody
