The arrest of New York's former FBI counterintelligence chief raises concerns about compromised investigations. The one into Russia's 2016 election interference likely isn't one of them.
Thanks for the concise explanation of the McGonigal indictments. The amount of foreign (Russian) influence into the highest levels of law enforcement and our government is deeply troubling. I have no idea if we will ever be able to clean up this longtime infiltration. I hope and admire anyone who is able to withstand the seduction of Greed and lust for power that will ultimately be the downfall of our country.
Thank you for such a clear assessment. I’ve been seeing all kinds of conspiracy theories about Russian infiltration in the FBI and elsewhere and and glad to see your factual and balanced view.
Asha, thank you for your captivating, well-written report on this shocking story! I hope this is one of the “depressing topics” for discussion during tomorrow’s office hours.
Thank you for this explanation, Asha. I must read it a second time to fully understand it. As a journalist, I must say that “Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot.” is an enviable segue! And a nice breather before the next thread is unraveled. Brava!
Asha, THANK YOU for this detailed explanation. I am now better informed, and feel less concerned, about this particular issue (although your conclusion raises other causes for concern).
Great analysis of these two indictments and also of the Russia Investigation which is constantly attacked by the right. Thank you for clarifying things which is difficult to find these days.
My first takeaway is how good you are at explaining things. Thorough and precise without being confusing and not one un-needed sylable. My second is, I'll have to read this more than once to get all the information.

Thank you for your clear writing and explanation
Asha, thank you for the concise detailed explanation. I do appreciate your experience and insight. Cheers
I'm just ashamed that I had to read the title like half a dozen times before I got the pun and I'm now turning in my dad joke license.
Essential reading for understanding the news this week! Now thinking about doing a short explainer video on it... 🤔

Agree. And I had to look it up. I never saw the movie. Would I have known what it stood for if I had?
I looked it up too and put it in my queue to watch! :-)
That too!
Thank you. This well written summary was extremely helpful in understanding the swirl of activity related to the 2016 election influence campaign.

Occam's Razor is a good tool for simpletons like me : "Russia... if you're listening."
Thanks
