In a rare and extraordinary pushback, new FBI Director Kash Patel said Friday night that media reports claiming a female agent ran a “honeypot” operation against Donald Trump during the Obama years was not true and unfair to the agent.
“A female agent was falsely referenced in the media this week as part of an alleged whistleblower disclosure- she was NOT a honeypot,” Patel wrote in a post on the social media platform X.
“I have reviewed the matter, again, and she did the limited job assigned to her. These actions were also reviewed by Special Counsel John Durham and he found no evidence of any wrongdoing by her,” the director said. “This agent has dedicated her life to public service, and I will have her back for it.”

No “honeypot” at all or just not this agent?
Pics of the agent, please.
TTIUWOP.
Plus there is no complete and open discussion of her role.
These sound like typical FIB/lieyah weasel words.
Notice, he is admitting that the FBI had an agent in the Trump campaign. Don’t be fooled here. What were her “limited objectives”
Kash is being coy with his vocabulary
AND, whatta bout the second one?
Where’s the discussion and pics of her?
Patel appears to be being played. I hope he figures out who he works for and finds out and turfs the bad apples. If not this agent, then who. Heads must roll.
Exactly...dont get rolled like admirals rolled secnav James webb did when Reagan said cut ships. Ended his term early.
Well, if John Durham found no evidence of wrongdoing!
I’m getting a bad feeling fellas.
It’s a bad look. I can’t recall, where did that original story come from? Was it a “leak” reported by the Gubmint press. I don’t think FBI or DOJ officially reported it.
It may have started with this story in Oct 2024:
Whistleblower: James Comey had FBI ‘honey pot’ spies infiltrate Trump’s 2016 campaign

Why do the fags use the term “pushback” so much? A fag thing?
That’s usually a legit source on such matters as this.
Watch it, buddy! How would I know?
It is and isn’t a bad look. Remember the Democrats were whining that Patel was simply Trump’s yes man.
This shows independence from Trump. It tells FIB agents that the director isn’t engaging in witch hunts.
Also, remember almost everything the media says it’s is wrong or slanted. We shouldn’t take anything we hear or read as the truth.
That includes conservative sources. This could have really been a case of a rumour being reported as fact.
You think so,om9n just isn’t reporting it correctly? Hopefully Kash isn’t saying that there wasn’t any operation agai as t pres Trump- and hopefully this isn’t the end of the investigation. Hopefully Solomon jusy isn’t reporting it correctly.
I find it hard that Patel would be dishonest. Opposite track record
Maybe he’s setting Comey up. Thinking he’s in the clear now, then bam 20 agents in SWAT gear at 5:30 a.m. busting his doors down...nah.
Epstein files - strike one
Honeypot investigation - strike two.
Patel’s working on the fastest strikeout in FBI history.
