Did the FBI’s Charles McGonigal Help Throw the 2016 Election to Trump?
New Republic ^ | February 1st, 2023 | Craig Unger

Posted on 02/03/2023 8:07:24 AM PST by shadowlands1960

The shocking indictments against the former head of counterintelligence for the FBI in New York raise many dark questions.

In the course of writing two books on Donald Trump’s ties to Russia, the same question occurred to me again and again: How is it possible that I knew all sorts of stuff about Donald Trump, and the FBI didn’t seem to have a clue? Or if they did, why weren’t they doing anything with it?

Specifically, I knew that:

-Starting in 1980, an alleged “spotter agent” for the KGB began cultivating Trump as a new asset for Soviet intelligence.
-The Russian mafia laundered millions of dollars through Donald Trump’s real estate by purchasing condos in all-cash transactions through anonymous corporations that did not disclose real ownership.
-Trump Tower was a home away from home for Vyacheslav Ivankov, one of the most brutal leaders of the Russian mafia, and at least 13 people with known or alleged links to the mafia held the deeds to, lived in, or ran alleged criminal operations out of Trump Tower in New York or other Trump properties.
-Trump was some $4 billion in debt when the Russians came to bail him out via the Bayrock Group, a real estate firm that was largely staffed, owned, and financed by Soviet émigrés who had ties to Russian intelligence and/or organized crime.

(continues ad nauseum...)

Because, as Ronald Reagan said, “It isn't so much that liberals are ignorant. It's just that they know so many things that aren't so.”

The truth of the matter is that Hillary was SELECTED to win in 2016. She and her ilk were caught off guard because just enough of the election fraud was counteracted to let Trump slip in. This is why we didn’t see her on election night, and she had no concession speech.

Then, in 2020, ALL the election fraud counteractions were withheld, to allow the steal... and capture the data. That’s why 2000 mules was possible.

“We have it all”

If I’ve learned anything these last 20 years is that when they point the finger like this it is exactly what THEY are doing.

I would go so far as to say that Craig is paid by Russia or other nations like China.

He should be investigated as well.

I think along the same lines. In ‘16, the democraps had their fraud machine running but they massively, massively underestimated the support Trump had, which was obvious to anyone willing to look at it.

In ‘20, the fraud machine was ramped up to never before seen levels, except in Russia and North Korea, it was impossible for Trump to win.

Biden got 81 million votes my a*s. He got maybe, maybe 30-35 million real votes. The rest were fraud.
