He appeared in court yesterday, pleading guilty in exchange for a lesser sentence. It was US District Court Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly who accepted the deal he made with the Justice Department. The fact that he admits to breaking the law is not a good sign for Rama and those who have been implicated. In the agreement that was reached, McGonigal has shown everything, from the visits to Tirana, meetings, secret conversations, etc. Maybe the file will not be made public, but the data is there and Prime Minister Edi Rama will not only be politically harmed, but the moment he leaves that office, if he is not prosecuted, it is not surprising that he will have the fate of former Prime Minister Sali Berisha , being declared "non-women". The notice was distributed by the State Department and it is said that McGonigal risks being sentenced to 5 years in prison at most.

On the other hand, according to "Voice of America" ??McGonigal accepted all the charges related to Albania, including contacts with Prime Minister Edi Rama and his unofficial adviser to the Prime Minister of Albania, Dorian Ducka. He has also admitted that he was the one who instigated the launch of the investigations related to Lulzim Basha's lobbying in the US and the accusations that he was being financed by the Russians. Asked by the judge in the case, Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, if on Nov. 25, he had "notified the Justice Department Attorney ... of a possible criminal investigation into a US citizen who had registered to lobby 'for a party that was not of Prime Minister Rama', Mr. McGonigal answered "Yes". During the hearing, Mr. McGonigal admitted that he had developed connections and contacts in Albania through a friend of his, referring to Neza, with the intention of preparing the ground for him to pursue business opportunities and benefits in Albania after leaving the FBI.
