One of the highest-ranking FBI agents to ever face criminal charges was sentenced to over four years in prison on Thursday for secretly colluding with a Russian oligarch.
Charles McGonigal, a former counterintelligence leader in the FBI's New York field office, pleaded guilty to a conspiracy charge. McGonigal's lawyers had asked for no prison time, but the judge came down harshly on the former FBI bigwig.
"I committed a felony and as a former FBI special agent it causes me extreme emotional and physical pain," McGonigal told the judge prior to the imposition of the sentence. "I stand before you today with a deep sense of remorse."

This is the only thing I can think of when I see the surname McGonigal (although admittedly, the spelling is different).
I'm guessing that's a Harry Potter thing? I'm afraid I never got into it. Probably why my association is with the Scottish so-called poet. Maybe Rowling made an intentional reference?
that's Hardcastle McCormick, yeah
Great read. Thanks for that.
I've "enjoyed" McGonigall's "poetry" for years.
