Todays podcast ties McGonigal to the FBI attack on Hillary and more. After listening I thought I would turn on MSNBC to see what they had to say. Crickets! They are still sniffing armpits in the top secret file debacle and debating why we are having so many shootings. Anyway, if you are interested this podcast is more than worth the listen.

(145,255 posts)The combination of the NYT and crooked FBI agents got TFG elected. I canceled my subscription to the NYT back in 2016 due to the biased coverage. The NYT is not a real news organization and actually worked with the NYC office of the FBI to elect TFG

Except the October Surprise was no surprise to one key player: Rudolph Giuliani, the ex-New York mayor and Trump insider who later became the 45th presidents attorney. Late that month, Giuliani told Fox News that the trailing Republican nominee had a surprise or two that youre going to hear about in the next few days. I mean, Im talking about some pretty big surprises.
Just two days later, then-FBI director James Comey revealed the bureau had reopened its probe into Clintons emails, based on the possible discovery of new communications on a laptop belonging to disgraced New York politico Anthony Weiner. The news jolted the campaign with a particularly strong boost from the New York Times, which devoted two-thirds of its front page to the story and the notion it was a major blow to Clintons prospects.
It was later reported that Comey was motivated to make the unusual announcement about the laptop because he feared leaks from the FBIs New York field office, which, according to Reuters, had a faction of investigators based in the office known to be hostile to Hillary Clinton. Indeed, Giuliani bragged immediately after that he had sources in the FBI, including current agents.

......The government allegations against the former G-man Charles McGonigal (also accused of taking a large foreign payment while still on the FBI payroll) and the outsized American influence of the sanctioned-and-later-indicted Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska also tied to U.S. pols from Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort to Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell should make us also look again at what was really up with the FBI in 2016.
How coordinated was the effort in that New York field office to pump up the ultimate nothingburger about Clintons emails while poo-pooing the very real evidence of Russian interference on Trumps behalf, and who were the agents behind it? What was the role, if any, of McGonigal and his international web of intrigue? Was the now-tainted McGonigal a source who told the New York Times that fateful October that Russia was not trying to help Trump win the election before the U.S. intelligence community determined the exact opposite? If not McGonigal, just who was intentionally misleading Americas most influential news org, and why?......
Its not only that Americas so-called paper of record has never apologized for its over-the-top coverage of the Clinton emails or the deeply flawed story about the FBI Trump-Russia probe. Its that the Times has shown a stunning lack of curiosity about finding out what went wrong. In May 2017, or just seven months after Trumps election, then-Times executive editor Dean Baquet ended the position of public editor, an independent journalist who was embedded in the newsroom to cover controversies exactly like these.
