Did McGonigal use his senior security post at Brookfield to commit espionage? Did Brookfield Chairman Carney, now Prime Minister of Canada, order a company-wide assessment of foreign intelligence infiltration? These questions remain answered.
Here’s a clue: Within days of U.S. Attorney Martin’s letter to McGonigal’s lawyer, McGonigal sought a gag order against his former girlfriend, Allison Guerreiro, who has publicly claimed to have evidence that he was a spy.
The Counterintelligence Division, over the past decade at least, has been one of the FBI’s most politicized components. Did the FBI under Christopher Wray not want to investigate its own man, McGonigal, as a possible Russian spy because it would reflect badly on the bureau? It appears so.
