In court, McGonigal, 55, said he is “deeply remorseful” for his actions.
“I appear before you in this court to take full responsibility as my actions never intended to hurt the United States, the FBI and my family and friends,” he said, at times appearing emotional.>
At the very least at least he is taking responsibility for his actions. It seems like a rare occurrence for such a high level individual to acknowledge what they did was wrong and are willing to accept the consequences to their actions
I’m not so convinced,personally - he was the Head of Counterintelligence for the NY FBI Field Office. He admits he knew what he was doing and that it was a violation of sanctions. If he was really information gathering, why would he be doing these transactions personally instead of through a coordinated project with his office?
Bullshit, he didn’t appear in court voluntarily. He was investigated and arrested. McGonigal is sorry he got caught and that’s all.
concealing hundreds of thousands of dollars he received from a former employee of an Albanian intelligence agency while he was a top official at the bureau.
He was paid by a foreign agent while he was still in his position at the FBI. What was he paid for? I’m way more interested in this part - the charge is apparently money laundering but it sounds like bribery.

That’s the office where everyone is close to Rudy Giuliani right?
