Seems we might have an answer for why, on the eve of the 2016 election, someone at the FBI lied to the NYTimes about the links the FBI saw between Trump and Russia.

Because the then-head of counterintelligence for FBI in NY was just indicted for money laundering and helping Russian oligarchs evade sanctions.

@maxkennerly “someone at the FBI” planted way ahead of time, just like trump was fluffed and flattered and paid. Then delivered plenty of documents, secrets, policy. Looks like Putin got what he wanted at many levels including Maria Butina and the NRA. Plenty right wing crazies including in the House continue to sing Putin’s song. WAKE UP.
