Kash Patel: There will be total transparency on 'Russiagate'
There is no peace for Edi Rama. As the prime minister prepares to travel to the US to attend Alex Soros' wedding, he has received some bad news from FBI Director Kash Patel.
The latter has spoken to the American media about current developments and has warned that there will be transparency regarding the "Crossfire Hurricane" issue, that is, the issue of the Russian investigations into Trump.
The FBI opened a counterintelligence investigation on July 31, 2016, to determine whether Trump, then a presidential candidate, or members of his campaign were collaborating or coordinating with Russia to influence the 2016 election. Within the bureau, this investigation was known as "Crossfire Hurricane."
Part of this file is also Charles McGonigal, the former FBI agent and the first person to be convicted and admit to abuse of office. At the same time, a friend of Edi Rama.
During the explosive interview with Joe Rogan, the FBI chief devoted a significant portion of the discussion to 'Russiagate,' supporting President Donald Trump's accusations that he was spied on during the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Patel pointed the finger at prominent figures of the time, particularly former acting FBI director Andrew McCabe and former deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein, accusing them of orchestrating a disinformation campaign and concealing crucial evidence.
"I caught them," Patel said with conviction, claiming that McCabe and Rosenstein knew about illegal activity related to the investigation. Patel said their arrogance led them to document everything, believing that no one would ever reveal their secrets.
Patel suggested that McCabe and Rosenstein's actions could be linked to a larger conspiracy, which, he said, would eliminate the statute of limitations for so-called "procedural crimes," which normally have a five-year statute of limitations.
Promising transparency, Patel reiterated his commitment to making all relevant information public. “ We will make everything available to the American public ,” he said, stressing that any decision regarding possible criminal prosecution would be made in cooperation with the Justice Department.
McGonigal, while serving as chief of the cybercrimes section at FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C., was among the first FBI officials to be briefed on allegations that George Papadopoulos, an adviser to Trump's 2016 campaign, boasted that he knew Russians had political dirt on Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.
This information led the FBI to open "Crossfire Hurricane," to investigate whether Trump officials had coordinated "knowingly or unknowingly" with Russia's efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election.
In September 2020, FBI Deputy Assistant Director Jonathan Moffa said during questioning by the Senate Judiciary Committee that he received an email in July 2016 from McGonigal regarding Papadopoulos that "contained essentially that reporting, which then served as the basis for opening the case."
It later emerged that McGonigal had been bribed by the Russians, which landed him behind bars. It now remains to be seen whether the Albanian dossier will also be released, as new details about his ties to the Albanian prime minister may be published. Very few details have been made public, while the dossier is quite voluminous. /Pamphlet
