I'm just going to repeat this for the people in back!
An FBI official who investigated Trump for illegal ties to Russia but found none has just been arrested for his own illegal ties to Russia
Internalize this
On Saturday afternoon, former FBI agent Charles McGonigal, who was head of counterintelligence in the New York Field Office and a part of the
investigation into supposed ties between Trump and Russia, was arrested over his alleged ties to Russia.
CBS reports that McGonigal was arrested over "his ties to Oleg Deripaska, a Russian billionaire who has been sanctioned by the United States and criminally charged last year with violating those sanctions."

McGonigal was the FBI's recipient of the fake tip from Alexander Downer that supposedly started the Trump/Russia investigation. He was also involved in the fake Carter Page ("Crossfire Dragon") investigation.

"FBI agent who investigated Trump for colluding with Russia arrested for colluding with Russia"
You just can't make this stuff up.
Btw, you won't hear the media report this but McGonigal was a Comey protege and huge Comey fan.
