The FBI launched an investigation on its plan to use undercover female agents as honeypots to infiltrate Donald Trump’s campaign for his first election.
The Washington Times reported in 2015 that FBI Director James Comey had launched an investigation. An FBI whistleblower informed the House Judiciary Committee of the investigation last year.
According to reports, two female undercover agents infiltrated Trump’s campaign at its highest levels.
The FBI director, Kash Patel, and the deputy director, Dan Bongino, are looking for these former agents.
Initially, the whistleblower noted that Crossfire Hurricane was not involved in the honeypot operation. It was also not meant to uncover specific crimes but was rather a fishing trip.
According to the disclosure, the whistleblower said that “the case did not have a predicate basis, so Comey personally directed the investigation without creating an official dossier in Sentinel or any other FBI system.” The FBI uses several ways to protect highly sensitive investigations. Comey did not have a legitimate reason to create an official investigation file.
A major paper was about to publish an undercover photo, which led to the ostensible shut down of the operation. When the FBI press office intervened, they claimed that releasing the photo could compromise the confidentiality of an FBI agent.
The whistleblower said that this was a deliberate scam: It wasn’t an undercover agent, but an FBI agent.
According to reports, one of the undercover agents has been transferred from the FBI to the CIA. It effectively placed her out of the reach of any investigation.
The whistleblower described a culture dominated by silence. Agents were instructed not to talk about the issue.
