However you define the FBI’s mission, it seems pretty reasonable to ask that the FBI senior personnel who are in charge of making sure sanctions are enforced against Russian oligarchs, do not retire and then turn around and go to work for Russian oligarchs and conspire to evade those sanctions. …

Just to clarify, McGonigal was one of the FBI officials investigating whether Trump had illegal ties to Russia. And he himself left the FBI to go work for a Russian oligarch, in violation of U.S. law. No wonder Americans have doubts about the bureau.

For what it is worth, McGonigal was a big fan of former FBI director James Comey.
