"We initially assessed this scandal as the worst in decades of FBI history," says Zev Shalev. "Now, we believe it to be the biggest in the history of the FBI. It may even be the biggest spy scandal in the history of the United States."
The alleged corruption of FBI supervising agent Charles McGonigal led us to revisit the 2016 FBI probes into both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. We found an FBI Director determined to interfere in the elections, a lead investigator who dismissed crucial evidence instead of pursuing less credible leads, and McGonigal's fingerprints on two significant aspects of the investigation.
In these two episodes titled "Contagion," we lay out how the FBI's leadership interfered in the election process while agents within their ranks had been compromised. In Part 2, we look at the sidelining of Chris Steele and Peter Srzok.

President Joe Biden's State of the Union address was a tour de force. It's no surprise that a US president brings his A-game to the congressional address. Still, it's the first in which the president could negotiate a resolution to a significant policy flashpoint in real-time. Special guest political strategist Rachel Bitecofer joins Zev Shalev.

It's the fourth episode of Zev Shalev's investigation into the McGonigal Affair.
The big question is not how much damage did McGonigal cause once he working for Oleg Deripaska post 2018. The real question is how far into the bureaus's caseload does the corruption spread. If Charlie McGonigal was a corrupt agent, a mole within the FBI, when did his corruption begin?
What if he was corrupt during the entire process that the investigation into Trump Russia was happening? What if he was feeding information to various sources, including maybe Donald Trump, about what was going on in the investigation and then also what was happening with the Hillary Clinton email investigations?

EXCLUSIVE! Zev names three more ex-FBI agents publicly tied to the McGonigal Affair - the biggest espionage scandal to hit the Federal Bureau of Investigations in decades. In addition to Charles McGonigal's two indictments centered on Oleg Deripaska and Albania, Zev reveals another former agent was found guilty of attempting to bribe the Puerto Rico governor. Are the two indictments connected? And how? And the biggest question: How did this corruption impact the FBI's investigations into the Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump campaigns in the Summer of 2016?

As Zev's interest in the McGonigal Affair intensifies, he calls Jeff Stein of SpyTalk for some advice. Jeff is a former intelligence reporter for Newsweek and The Washington Post and current head honcho at SpyTalk, which he describes as "Intelligence for thinking people."
Zev asks Jeff what would make a 22-year veteran of the FBI like Charlie McGonigal turn against his country. Jeff's insightful response on the mindset of an FBI agent is a must-listen and also reveals what his sources are telling him about McGonigal.
He also tells us a story about lunch, or was it drinks, with Christopher Hitchens and a journalist for Tass named Boris.

"Was Charles McGonigal Putin's mole inside the FBI's New York field office?" Zev asks on this week's podcast. McGonigal is the subject of two federal indictments and faces new claims he was involved in a $300 Million Kremlin oil scheme. If proven, this could be the biggest scandal in recent FBI history and may force the reopening of some historical cases.
Zev is joined by Craig Unger, who wrote "American Kompromat" and "House of Bush, House of Saud."
The two men piece together McGonigal's timeline in a gripping hour-long show which re-examines McGonigal's case history, like TWA-800, 911, Trump-Russia, and the theft of the Los Alamos nuclear secrets.
Zev and Craig also look at McGonigal's FBI family tree and reveal some familiar and controversial names.
