Whistleblower: James Comey had FBI ‘honey pot’ spies infiltrate Trump’s 2016 campaign
Washington Times ^ | October 29, 2024 | Kerry Picket

Posted on 10/30/2024 9:03:15 AM PDT by Twotone

The House Judiciary Committee is examining a whistleblower report that the FBI targeted Donald Trump soon after he announced his presidential campaign in June 2015, an off-the-books operation ordered by FBI Director James B. Comey that predated the Crossfire Hurricane operation.

An FBI agent involved in the probe revealed the off-the-books criminal investigation on Tuesday in a protected disclosure sent to the committee.

The whistleblower disclosure said two female FBI undercover agents infiltrated Mr. Trump’s 2016 campaign at high levels and were directed to act as “honeypots” while traveling with Mr. Trump and his campaign staff on the trail.

According to the disclosure, which The Washington Times reviewed, the investigation differed from the later Crossfire Hurricane counterintelligence operation targeting Russian collusion. It said the early off-the-books probe was a criminal investigation targeting Mr. Trump and his 2016 presidential campaign staff.

The agent “personally knew” that Mr. Comey ordered an FBI investigation against Mr. Trump and that Mr. Comey “personally directed it,” according to the disclosure.

The off-the-books investigation did not appear to target a specific crime but was more of what agents would describe as a fishing expedition to find something incriminating about Mr. Trump.

The Times reached out to the FBI and Mr. Comey for comment.

A House Judiciary Committee spokesman said the committee received the whistleblower allegations and “plans to look into them.”

Comey was a principal in all of the anti-Trump efforts to take him down, and other than being fired, he paid no price - he came out of it all smelling like a rose and much richer. A miscarriage of justice to the extreme!

They need to prosecute Comey for this.

America’s KGB

Just like its predecessor, the goal is to enforce political conformity, particularly upon the highest levels of central government and the country’s ruling elites.

I don't know but I would like to see photo evidence to determine if this was a serious infiltration.

Too bad the military tribunals at GITMO never happened.

Comey should be first in line.

Well, seems the job of the FBI was to service the needs of corrupt white liberal 'elites' right? And the 'elties' wanted Trump removed. Was Comey the exception or the rule?

What about the assassins? How far will the FBI go today to 'protect' the power of corrupt elites in Washington?

Do we know?

And the other job of the FBI? Did James Comey feel protecting corrupt 'elties' was half his job and the other half was to grind his boots into the faces of powerless citizens - citizens he thought of as 'deplorable'?

And is the Washington Post any different? The FBI 'does' for them - and they 'do' for the FBI. Seems they're on the same page. Kissing the butts of white liberal elites - booting the powerless... Where is Jeff Bezos on this one?

While Comey authorized the dirty honeypot tactics, he came out in July 2016 with (paraphrasing) "In our estimation, Secretary Clinton did not intend to break the law... and no reasonable prosecutor would bring charges under these circumstances."

Such horrible corruption at the highest levels of government.

Go read Comey’s resume and you’ll find a prototypical deep state MIC operator.

There are many tall tree branches that will suffice for this fellow.

They need to be identified and doxxed. We need to get the autists at 4chan on it.

It’s going to be two halfway attractive females, with high positions in the 2016 campaign, very early in the campaign while it was rather small. They will be among a small subset that traveled WITH the campaign. They will have suspicious backgrounds and likely have no campaign work before or after.

Here is the letter I sent to commentators and papers when Hilary was in the news.

From: Retain Mike Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2018 10:21 AM To: WSJ Letters (wsj.ltrs@wsj.com) Subject: Comey is a Dirty Cop

Consider the source before giving credence to Comey’s statement attacking the GOP Congress and Trump about any infraction of law. What credibility he had disappeared when he spoke about Hilary Clinton’s emails. He began by detailing the many ways in which her actions violated Sections (d), (e), (f) of the federal penal code Title 18. He then declared that no prosecutor would ever consider bringing her to trial.

Comey committed an egregious violation of his FBI Director authority by stating Clinton should not be prosecuted. An attorney general or district attorney possesses the authority to decide what if any crime should be pursued. Whether federal, state, or local, police actions are limited to investigation and arrest, as can be confirmed by reading any of their mission statements. That is why we have grand juries and judges deciding upon charges by issuing warrants.

Comey lied by saying the lack of intent to reveal national secrets through Clinton’s prohibited computer system absolved her from prosecution. The applicable statute criminalizes her gross negligence leaving no room for determination of intent. As such the law shares common ancestry with laws from traffic violations to negligent homicides.

Comey is a dirty cop and anything he says, or writes should be ignored.

I like how Comey was happy to tell a DC audience that he set up General Flynn on a standard lawfare entrapment / perjury trap.

And the audience laughed with delight.
