#campaign 2016

On the eve of the 2016 election, the New York Times ran a sensational article stating that the FBI had told them that "none of the investigations so far have found any conclusive or direct link between Mr. Trump and the Russian government."

Now we learn that the NYT source for this story, FBI New York counterintelligence head Charles McGonigal, was on the take from Oleg Deripaska, a man assessed to be an influence agent of the Russian intelligence services. He has just entered a guilty plea on charges to that effect.
