I’m working on a longer post about the sentencing submissions (McGonigal; SDNY) for Charles McGonigal’s SDNY case — the former head of counterintelligence for FBI’s New York Field Office. One thing SDNY did was explain why McGonigal knew working for Deripaska was more damaging than that. As SAC, McGonigal supervised and participated in investigations of Russian oligarchs, including Deripaska. As SAC, McGonigal supervised and participated in investigations of Russian oligarchs, incl uding Deripaska . In other words, this strongly suggests that in the same month when Rod Rosenstein appointed Robert Mueller to investigate how GRU tampered in the 2016 election, McGonigal received a report tying Deripaska to the GRU.
