FBI ran ‘honeypot’ operation on 2016 Trump campaign – whistleblower

FBI - Donald Trump news

The previously unknown infiltration scheme was reportedly ordered by James Comey immediately after Trump announced his candidacy.

Former FBI Director James Comey personally ordered “honeypot” spies to infiltrate Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, according to an agency whistleblower. The off-the-books operation was described by the agency insider as a “fishing expedition” to find wrongdoing among Trump’s team.

The operation was “personally directed” by Comey and launched in June 2015 without any case file being created in the FBI’s database, according to a whistleblower report handed to the Republican-led House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday and seen by the Washington Times.

At the time, Trump had just announced his first presidential campaign and neither he nor anyone on his campaign team was suspected of any crimes. Nevertheless, Comey ordered two “honeypot” agents to infiltrate Trump’s team on the campaign trail with the aim of extracting damning information from adviser George Papadopoulos, the report claimed.

A “honeypot” agent refers to an attractive woman who uses a sexual or romantic relationship to gather intelligence from a target.

Comey’s operation took place a year before the FBI’s ‘Crossfire Hurricane’ investigation into the Trump campaign’s alleged contacts with Russia, which later morphed into Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s two-year ‘Russiagate’ probe. According to the whistleblower, the honeypot operation was kept “off the books” to conceal it from the US Justice Department’s inspector general, who later determined that Comey knowingly lied when submitting evidence to obtain a warrant to surveil Trump’s campaign.

Papadopoulos was eventually questioned by the FBI and in 2017 pled guilty to making false statements to agents regarding his alleged contacts with Russia the year before. He served 12 days in federal prison in 2018, and has claimed ever since that he was entrapped by FBI agents posing as Russians with damaging information on Trump’s 2016 opponent, Hillary Clinton.

He complained about sloppy FBI agents “dropping information in my lap that I did not want regarding Hillary Clinton’s emails in the hands of the Russians” during the Crossfire Hurricane probe, and claimed to have been targeted by at least one “honeypot” beforehand. However, Papadopoulos thought that the woman was working for the CIA and “affiliated with Turkish intelligence,” he said in 2019.

The operation was canceled when a newspaper obtained a photograph of one of the agents and was about to publish it, the whistleblower claimed. The FBI allegedly contacted the newspaper claiming that the woman in question was an informant, and not an agent, and would be killed if the photo was released, successfully preventing its publication. One of the agents was then allegedly transferred to the CIA so she would not be available as a potential witness.

“The FBI employee personally observed one or more employees in the FBI being directed to never discuss the operation with anyone ever again, which included talking with other people involved in the operation,” the report states.

The Judiciary Committee told the Washington Times that it “plans to look into” the report. Trump fired Comey in 2017, describing him as a “liar” and a “slimeball.”

  1. Big deal, in 2020 they rigged an election and staged a fake “insurrection”.

    In 2023 they raided his home and invented imaginary crimes to charge him with.

    In 2024 they tried to physically kill him more than once.

    Just imagine what they’re busy plotting right now for next week.

    • Just imagine what President Trump has lined up for the FBI if (hopefully when) he gets elected. Hopefully the FBI will be disbanded, and their responsibilities will be taken over by state police that collaborate between different states.

      • Honestly I want televised trials and hangings at this point. It should be broadcast world wide.

        We are sick and tired of corrupt governments trampling over our rights, taxing us into poverty and replacing us with the third world.

  2. I was trafficked on the Lolita Express, red & white DC10 with the logo. I don’t remember much, I don’t remember Diddy but I do remember being on Epstein Island.(a kind person told me where I was) I was trafficked & groomed as normal and there from don’t remember a great deal.(from the drugs) I remember Jimi Hendrix being angry,”who sent you up here in your school uniform looking like jail bait? Get out, you’re much too young,” He was a gentleman. So was King Charles, a gentleman with integrity. I don’t remember Prince Andrew. I remember the Donald , I was being dressed in some skimpy popstar artist get up and the giggling women strapping on one of those headbands with long fringes which you wore over your face. Trump yanked me by the elbow and pulled me out of the line “she’s too young”…. and he gave me one of Melania’s dresses to wear. It was green, We got in a taxi and there was shooting..this was a long time ago in my experiences there was a lot of travelling I can only say unconscious time.
    I am harrassed and hounded by Brethren and fundamentalists christians who speak yiddish
    Every time I get a decent job there’s ad hominem attacks against me presented as “we only care”
    Every time I clean my car it gets downgraded specs.
    All my relationships are cruelly sabotaged and my art therapy disappeared. My songs are sung by the industry puppets of UMG all unfinished, unedited and horribly produced!
    Maybe I was to be a honeytrap for Trump but I thank him for literally saving my life, recognising my age and pulling me out of the line and giving me something to wear. In a drugged state (tranc) it is hard to move and he was in a hurry.
    Thank you Mr President. I know I had some name assigned to me as merchandise like little buttons but I’m not sure.
    Thank you for saving my life. Most have not made it this far and they should not be forgotten neither laughed at as they would have been hypnotised as well as scopolamined and shot without compunction if deemed trouble or too far gone.
    Trafficking of children will not stop until all human beings harden their hearts and boycott anything remotely connected to Hollywood, Disney, UMG and the BBC

  3. The Sheriffs in their counties will need to form-up posse’s and organise militias to go after the regional offices of the Alphabet Agencies in their designated counties when those agencies turn on the American Citizens!
    The power of the Sheriff over-rides the Feds in the county’s jurisdiction, and the Sheriff has the power to arrest, imprison and oversee the trial of these Alphabet Agency traitors.
    Other persons (former cops, EMT-types, Veterans, National Guard, Reservists, etc.) will need to meet over the week-end to discuss contingency plans.
    Make sure that you use a Farraday bag, and if meeting at a central place to discuss plans, do it in the bush, take a microwave with you to put the phone in (acts as a Farraday box…) and make sure you haven’t been followed.
    In fact, take the battery out of your phones and place the phones in a Farraday bag if possible. If not, then an old microwave that doesn’t work anymore but has a good door seal will do just fine!
    GET READY- IT’S ALMOST HERE!!!
