Trump targeted by four FBI code-named counterintel probes that ensnared hundreds of Americans

President Donald Trump and his supporters were targeted by four consecutive FBI code-named counterintelligence investigations over the last decade that secretly subjected hundreds of innocent Americans to privacy-invading tactics and essentially treated the man twice elected president as a national security threat for most of the first nine years of his political career, according to interviews and documents reviewed by Just the News.

FBI Director Kash Patel has personally led the effort to review the operations code-named Crossfire Hurricane, Round River, Plasmic Echo and Arctic Frost that stretched from summer 2016 to January 2025, uncovering evidence of a far-reaching dragnet that in some cases may have been predicated on false, misleading or uncorroborated justifications, officials said.

Many of the investigative files were hidden from view, even from most FBI agents, because they were marked "prohibited access" and controlled carefully by FBI leadership.

Patel's search has been aided by whistleblowers inside his agency, a handful of senior bureau executives close to the director and some members of Congress, particularly Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.

Civil lawsuit time; you can bring it in your home jurisdiction so you don’t have to rely on a DC or DC suburban jury.

“I wonder how many FReepers were put under surveillance.”

You were probably under surveillance before Trump, to be accurate. Obama was clearly doing the same thing with the Tea Party and any other Patriot group.

Did the FBI release the names of who was surveilled illegally?

Friend, that would not surprise me at all. They really did hate Tea Party members and supporters.

Assume that you were, until conclusively proven otherwise.

Pretty obvious the Democrat party excels at using government power for their partisan ends. This is just more proof of the same. They’re so bold about it now they admit they will be attacking the opposition once they regain power.

When will the people involved in the four consecutive FBI code-named counterintelligence investigations be indicted, tried, convicted, and sentenced?!?

The problem is many of the voters on the other side can’t or won’t recognize how evil this is and that it will be personally devastating to them in the future.

Contrary to what many on here say (”nothing will happen”), I am persuaded of better things. Precedent is there: remember Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Liddy, Mitchell, Colson, et al. They were extremely highly-placed in the administration. It could (and should) happen again.

Plenty. Write a book, walk your talk and I promise you..you are targeted. I don’t believe in coincidence any more. I also have a group of leftist lesbian loons in California targeting every move I make. I have caught them physically following me in my car.

I posted this the day before Anita/BLM burned my community.

My GoFundMe wasn’t allowed or any fundraiser...all liberals were allowed.
My social security checks were attached with no warning to repay emergency catastrophe funds after losing everything..that included $10,000 in interest..so I paid the government for the honor of having my life destroyed.

So, they were spying on him even when he was president. Talk about a rogue agency.

I had an RC-12 orbiting my property a couple of years ago. Hope they enjoyed the pictures of flowers, motorcycles, and awful original music videos.
