The largest British newspaper, the Daily Mail, wrote two days ago that the FBI chiefs are alarmed by the Albanian affair of Charles McGonigal and are researching every one of his files, fearing that they have been compromised.
Concerned FBI chiefs are sifting through 'numerous' high-profile investigations spanning 22 years, fearing they were compromised by convicted bureau spy Charles McGonigal. The investigative operation spans the entire time that the former head of counterintelligence in New York worked for the agency," the British newspaper wrote, among other things.
To discuss this affair that also compromises the Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama, the analyst Lorenc Vangjeli was invited to 'Çim Peka live'.
Vangjeli said, among other things, that some truths are coming to light little by little, which explain many of the questions that have been raised these days left and right.
Vangjeli: There are some truths that are beginning to come to light little by little, which explain many of the questions that have been raised in these times, either on the left or on the right. What we are looking at has to do with several different lines which are not always parallel. First, it becomes clear that McGongial is neither the FBI nor America, it is a certain segment of it that at a certain moment seems to have stepped on, and unfortunately for us, stepped on an Albanian foot, even corruptly.
Peka: McGonigal acted as an individual, but the FBI acted in his capacity.
Vangjeli: But there the system itself is regulated. Just as we have the proper name of special agent McGonigal, we also have the other anonymous agent or the reaction of the rest who opposed this investigation and closed it with his reaction.
Peka: They did the investigation and closed it when McGonigal retired. From the way he puts it, it looks like he tried but the FBI didn't answer him, the FBI answered him.
Vangjeli: I'm trying to clarify, we can't look now at the moment. No matter that he tried, no matter that he did the damage, nothing is permanent there in the way of evil say because the system itself is self-correcting, so the quoted testimony of the other agent confesses.
Peka: There is one more thing. You personally and your colleagues and our colleagues in 2018-2019 massacred the opposition saying Russian money according to the FBI and you did the damage.
Vangjeli: Allow me then, since I fit this big bag, you...
Peka: And you spoke earlier. You even talked a lot.
Vangjeli: It is something that I do not have to pretend that it may be in your memory, but I am telling you that I personally said: It is not Russian money, even if they have it, it passed through Russian channels, I believe then and today I believe that it is dirty money. I have said this face to face to Mr. Luli Basha when he changed his mind as the sky changes color from dusk to dawn, I have said this face to face to Mr. Berisha who also changed his attitude depending on the relationship he had with Mr. Basha.
And if I'm quoting a phrase from that time, it's from a few years ago, the amount in question is 500 thousand dollars, and I'm quoting it since you appealed to me about this: 500 thousand dollars seems a lot, but for an important party leader even more so for the candidate for prime minister of the country, 500 thousand dollars is not worth more than an old phone recharge card and does not cost more than an sms that he sends somewhere to receive.
