FBI looking into James Comey’s off-the-books ‘honeypot’ operation targeting 2016 Trump campaign
Washington Times ^ | Kerry Picket

New leadership at the FBI is starting an investigation into the origins of the agency’s plan a decade ago to infiltrate the campaign of then-candidate Donald Trump using two female undercover “honeypot” agents. The off-the-books investigation, launched in 2015 by former FBI Director James Comey, was revealed by an agency whistleblower in a protected disclosure to the House Judiciary Committee last year and first reported exclusively by The Washington Times in October. In the intelligence community, a honeypot commonly refers to an undercover operative, usually a woman, who feigns sexual or romantic interest to obtain information from a target.

Would love to see him taken down. He and his memos...trying to set up Trump...really turned me off.

His claim to fame...he sent Martha Stewart to prison.

Do you think Comey is man enough to keep his mouth shut and do G. Gordon Liddy hard time? This little birdie will sing his lungs out before he’d go to prison for the rest of his life.

What is it? First to squeal gets the deal!

By all means tell us the targets being investigated. :-) Leak or surveillance?

who feigns sexual or romantic interest

Which are the same thing, as far as men are concerned.

Two femaile agents trying to tempt Trump into blackmail. How many times must have that happened to The Donald.

I wonder if that counts as “election interference”.

Lol.

Aside from the numerous legal and Constitutional violations, where did Comey get the money for an off-the-books operation?

I’m really concerned that a lot of legitimate cases against Democrat criminals may come to nothing simply because of the DC jury pool. Yet most of those crimes have been committed in DC. Can a prosecuting attorney get a change of venue based upon that kind of data?

Chances are he was snared sometime over the decade. As he said after his first campaign, his one “weakness” is women.

FBI agents putting out and being whores in the Trump campaign. Name and shame. And prosecute.

The Deep State nobility were so convinced they were untouchable that they took chances a sensible person wouldn't take.

"They struck at the King" (as Emerson would say) — but missed.

Oopsie.

Good luck finding evidence of anything.

Actually I’d like to see the busted USG employees that are tipping off cities of ICE raids first.
These ICE prosecutions would have an immediate, no nonsense impart on the 2M USG employees in every Dept n agency.
