charges including money laundering and violating US sanctions by working for Russian billionaire and business magnate Oleg Deripaska, including trying to get him taken off of the US sanctions list. McGonigal was legally required to report to the FBI his contact with foreign officials, but instead allegedly hid the ties, pursing business and overseas travel that conflicted with his job.
@ProfMJCleveland While lots import. details, fascinating point @15poundstogo discovered: McGonigal hired former Special Counsel Durham's high-level prosecutor. Think about it: If you knew you were in deep trouble & wanted to cut a deal & had info that would help Durham, who do you hire? EXACTLY.
@realjusthuman McGonigal has hired Seth DuCharme, the former US Atty for the EDNY who is now an attorney at Bracewell LLP. Bracewell is Guiliani's old firm and where Barbara S. Jones, the Special Master in the Cohen, Rudy, Project Veritas, and Trump Org cases, is a partner. ('band' connections)
