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.
The whistleblower said two female FBI undercover employees 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.
The Times has learned that the bureau, now led by Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino, is looking for those once-undercover employees under Mr. Comey’s direction.
The FBI declined to comment.
According to the whistleblower disclosure, which The Times reviewed, the investigation differed from Crossfire Hurricane, a later FBI counterintelligence operation that looked into never-proved allegations that the campaign was colluding with Russia.
The whistleblower said the early off-the-books criminal investigation targeted Mr. Trump and his staff.
Mr. Trump launched his presidential campaign on June 16, 2015, about a year before the FBI opened Crossfire Hurricane.
The whistleblower agent “personally knew” that Mr. Comey ordered an FBI investigation into Mr. Trump and that Mr. Comey “personally directed it,” according to the disclosure.
The investigation did not appear to target a specific crime but was more of what agents would describe as a fishing expedition to find anything incriminating against Mr. Trump.

How does the FBI advertise for a honeypot undercover agent?
The women said going after the Trump campaign was really hard, a lot to swallow. But they are sure they had it licked by the time they were done.
There’s a current off the books spying op going on.
They found listening devices in the oval office.
Comey is obviously a More On.

2017 & 2025?
Just another unbelievable abuse of power by the deep state. UNBELIEVABLE.
“Off the books” for those in Rio Linda means illegal.
o they were looking “to find anything incriminating that could be used against Mr. Trump” BUT when Trump made a phone call re biden not giving money if the prosecutor was not fired THAT was IMPEACHABLE. So OK for dems, a crime if Trump does the same thing AS PRES. Dems are BASTAR**.
Yup
Last time I was walking the Strip in Vegas several illegal aliens handed me some flyers featuring several of them.
What did these “honey pot” girls look like anyways?
Funny how this story didn’t make the ABC evening news with David Muir.
Did you ever watch “The Sopranos”? Just find a young, attractive agent and send her in.
“what agents would describe as a fishing expedition to find anything incriminating against Mr. Trump.”
