Recent revelations, a decade later, highlight the lengths to which the government went to undermine his campaign. The Washington Times reported that former FBI Director James Comey initiated a covert investigation into Trump&#8217;s campaign in 2015, employing two female agents as &#8220;honeypots&#8221;\u2014individuals who gather sensitive information through sexual allure. Currently, under Director Kash Patel, the FBI is examining this operation. A whistleblower disclosed Comey&#8217;s actions in a protected report to the House Judiciary Committee in 2024, which was exclusively covered by the Times in October. According to their report, these agents accompanied Trump&#8217;s campaign and the whistleblower confirmed that Comey personally ordered and directed this investigation.<\/p>\n<p>Comey&#8217;s aim was not to find evidence of any specific crime but rather to interfere with the campaign&#8217;s operations for potentially damaging information against Trump. The whistleblower also indicated that this plan was concealed from Department of Justice Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz, who had previously investigated FBI misconduct related to Trump\u2019s campaign. The whistleblower stated that there was no legitimate basis for Comey\u2019s investigation since it lacked an official case file or number within any FBI system.<\/p>\n<p>The operation was ultimately halted due to concerns about exposing the agents&#8217; identities after a newspaper acquired a photo of one agent and intended to publish it; there were fears for her safety if identified as an informant. Both agents remain federal employees today\u2014one has moved on to work with the CIA while another received a promotion within the FBI\u2014and several other agents were instructed never to discuss Comey&#8217;s investigation again.<\/p>\n<p>Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino face significant challenges ahead as they navigate this situation where Comey secretly targeted Trump\u2019s campaign without genuine concern over its conduct but rather for political motives.<\/p>\n<p>Patel should hold Comey accountable given these circumstances; after enduring false accusations regarding collusion with Russia during Trump&#8217;s candidacy, any findings from undercover investigations will further substantiate claims of targeting aimed at preventing Trump from becoming president. Patel has expressed his desire for the bureau&#8217;s focus on serving American interests again\u2014a goal supported by this inquiry into potential threats against democracy posed by such sabotage efforts like those orchestrated by Comey<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2407015,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/James-Comey.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[50645,18218,3976,51149,32531],"class_list":["post-2407014","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-fbi-2","tag-infiltration","tag-investigation","tag-james-comey","tag-trump-campaign"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/James-Comey.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2407014","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2407014"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2407014\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2407018,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2407014\/revisions\/2407018"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2407015"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2407014"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2407014"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2407014"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
