A few days ago I read about a former FBI agent who's been charged with various crimes of corruption, particularly working with a notorious Russian oligarch. This FBI agent was also involved with the Clinton e-mail and Trump-Russia investigations during the 2016 campaign.

I should point out that, at this point, there's no direct indication that his role in those cases played any role in the outcome of the election, but I'll admit it doesn't make me feel comfortable about those events either.

If you're interested in more details about it, this piece does a pretty good overview:

My Book Recommendations for Developing Self Discipline:

"Atomic Habits" by James Clear: This book offers a practical and science-based approach to building good habits and breaking bad ones. It teaches how to identify the root cause of your behavior, how to make small changes that lead to big results, and how to stay consistent over time.

"The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg: This book explores the science behind habit formation and how you can change your habits to improve your life. It offers practical strategies for developing good habits and breaking bad ones, based on research from neuroscience, psychology, and behavioral economics.

"The Willpower Instinct" by Kelly McGonigal: This book draws on research from psychology, neuroscience, and mindfulness to offer practical strategies for improving self-discipline and willpower. It teaches how to overcome procrastination, resist temptation, and achieve your goals.

"The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" by Stephen Covey: This classic book teaches seven habits that can help you become more effective in your personal and professional life. It emphasizes the importance of personal responsibility, goal-setting, and continuous improvement.

"Discipline Equals Freedom" by Jocko Willink: This book offers a no-nonsense approach to self-discipline, drawing on the author's experience as a Navy SEAL. It teaches how to develop discipline in all areas of your life, from fitness and nutrition to work and relationships.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND:

6. "No Excuses: The Power of Self-Discipline" is a book by Brian Tracy that explores the importance of self-discipline in achieving success. Tracy argues that self-discipline is the key to achieving your goals and living a fulfilling life, and offers practical strategies for developing self-discipline.

In the book, Tracy emphasizes the importance of taking responsibility for your own life, setting clear goals, and developing the habits and routines necessary to achieve those goals. He also discusses the role of motivation and willpower in achieving success, and offers strategies for overcoming procrastination and staying focused on your goals.

Overall, "No Excuses" is a motivational and practical guide to developing self-discipline and achieving your full potential.

FBI agent Charles McGonigal who investigated Trump for colluding with Russia, is set to plead guilty for colluding with Russia

On the eve of the 2016 election, the New York Times ran a sensational article stating that the FBI had told them that "none of the investigations so far have found any conclusive or direct link between Mr. Trump and the Russian government."

Now we learn that the NYT source for this story, FBI New York counterintelligence head Charles McGonigal, was on the take from Oleg Deripaska, a man assessed to be an influence agent of the Russian intelligence services. He has just entered a guilty plea on charges to that effect.

Lol its this easy to bribe an FBI agent?

[tatersaladworld]

In August, Charles McGonigal, a 22-year veteran of the bureau’s field office in New York, was found guilty of a count of conspiracy for working with Oleg Deripaska, a Russian billionaire with close ties to President Vladimir Putin.

Also, Hilliary Clinton and Bill Clinton worked for Putin in the Uranium One Deal. That's why they accused Trump of doing exactly what they themselves were doing.

The FBI agents are against Trump
