#2 ...sought to gather derogatory information about a rival of Deripaska, in violation of IEEPA...

Excuse me, I'm not trying to defend this guy, but how is it a crime to seek to gather information, derogatory or otherwise? Isn't that, like, unconstitutional?

This seems like a very confusing, twisted tale. On the face of it, McGonigal seems to be the exact type of reptilian swamp creature the feds like to employ. I don't see how he did anything that swamp creatures don't do on a routine basis. But I'm guessing that somehow Deripaska made enemies among with swamp creatures and so associating with him was McGonigal's real crime.
