Pled guilty on advice of lawyer.
The evidence was handled by the Los Angeles Police Department. The story was handled by J Edgar Hoover.

And it's called treason when overthrowing the Constitution.
Founders thought truth essential to maintaining a free nation. That is why only one business is mentioned by name in the Constitution, the press. When they serve a traitor like Trump on January 6, they are co-conspirators.

It's called libel when people and corporations are injured.
See Dominion vs. Fox News.
Perhaps theres another name for it when an entire country is injured.

British intel caught FBI spy chief secretly meeting a Russian in London
* An FBI spy chief's secret meeting with a Russian contact was detected by UK officials.
* Charles McGonigal, the ex-FBI official, is charged with taking money from Russian tycoon Oleg Deripaska.
* McGonigal should have realized that the London meeting would be noticed, one source said.

In 2018, Charles McGonigal, the FBI's former New York spy chief, traveled to London where he met with a Russian contact who was under surveillance by British authorities, two US intelligence sources told Insider.
The British were alarmed enough by the meeting to alert the FBI's legal attaché, who was stationed at the US Embassy. The FBI then used the surreptitious meeting as part of their basis to open an investigation into McGonigal, one of the two sources said.
The two sources, both former officials in the US intelligence community, did not specify the identity of the Russian who McGonigal met with.
McGonigal, the former head of the FBI's counterintelligence division in New York, stands accused of taking money from Oleg Deripaska, a Russian oligarch, in violation of US sanctions, in exchange for investigating one of Deripaska's Russian rivals. McGonigal "traveled to meet Deripaska and others at Deripaska's residence in London, and in Vienna," according to one of the federal indictments lodged last month. The indictments do not say precisely when those alleged meetings took place, or how prosecutors came to believe they occurred.

McGonigal may also be the guy who cleared Trump of dealing with the Russians in 2016. If so, wow, was he wrong. Or maybe it was the money.
