The FBI is starting an investigation into the agency’s plan to infiltrate President Donald Trump’s first campaign using two female undercover agents as a honeypot.
According to The Washington Times‘ initial reporting, the investigation was launched in 2015 by FBI Director James Comey and kept off the books. An FBI whistleblower broke the news of the inquiry to the House Judiciary Committee last year.
The plan was said to involve two undercover female agents who had infiltrated the Trump campaign at high-levels.
FBI Director Kash Patel and deputy Director Dan Bongino are now looking for those once-undercover agents.
Initially, the whistleblower noted that the honeypot was a separate operation from Crossfire Hurricane, and sought to uncover no specific crime but was merely a fishing expedition.
“The case had no predicated foundation, so Comey personally directed the investigation without creating an official case file in Sentinel or any other FBI system,” the whistleblower said, according to the disclosure. “The FBI has multiple methods of protecting highly sensitive investigations, so Comey did not have a legitimate reason not to officially create an official investigation file or have a file number.”
The operation was ostensibly shut down after a major newspaper obtained a photograph of one of the undercover agents and prepared to publish it. The FBI’s press office intervened, claiming that releasing the image would jeopardize a confidential FBI informant.
According to the whistleblower, this was a deliberate deception: it was not a undercover informant but indeed an FBI agent.
In the aftermath, one of the undercover agents was reportedly transferred to the CIA, effectively placing her beyond the reach of any potential inquiry. The other received a promotion and is now a high-ranking FBI executive in a major field office.
Additionally, the whistleblower described a culture of silence surrounding the operation as agents were directed never to discuss the matter.

The Young Turks are fearless in talking about the issues that matter. We are a rare show that combines all of the news that people care about in one place. We cover politics, entertainment, sports, and pop culture; all through a progressive lens.
What does it mean to be a “Young Turk?”
According to the American Heritage Dictionary;
1. Young progressive or insurgent member of an institution, movement, or political party.
2. Young person who rebels against authority or societal expectations.
“Sharp-witted, persuasive, and inspiring, calling out toxic Republicans, politely-ineffectual Democrats, and mealy-mouthed media mavens in equal measure, JUSTICE IS COMING will give heart to Democrats and progressives who seek to change our politics and society for the better.
The media can’t stop talking about the gridlock in Washington, as if a handful of stubborn Republicans are the only thing standing between us and a fully-functional democracy. The reality is that our government has been taken over by big business and their allies in both political parties. The getaway driver in this heist was corporate media. The good news is that the American people are very progressive. And soon progressives will take over Washington as well! And when they do, the great majority of Americans will love it.
In JUSTICE IS COMING: How Progressives Are Going to Take Over the Country and America Is Going to Love It (On sale: September 19, 2023), The Young Turks founder Cenk Uygur presents two ideas that counter everything we hear from pundits and politicians on a daily basis: one, progressives are correct on all issues, and two, America is actually a very progressive country. Millions of us know that we are a part of something larger, a movement that is already transforming Washington.
JUSTICE IS COMING, a compulsively readable manifesto, seeks to apply the momentum progressives have already built to a concrete progressive agenda that activists, voters, and citizens can all rally around. JUSTICE IS COMING looks beyond Trump to the larger historical forces that have given us this unique political moment, and explains why we should fight, how we should fight, and how we will win.”
