The FBI’s past escapades appear to be more scandalous than a daytime soap opera, and the latest revelations about the agency’s efforts to infiltrate Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign are no exception. Under the old regime of James Comey, the bureau allegedly dispatched two female undercover agents, trained in the art of seduction and subterfuge, to wade their way through Trump’s campaign. The plan, nicknamed “honeypot,” was to charm their way into his inner circle and extract whatever juicy tidbits they could find to undermine his candidacy.
This undercover operation, initially launched in 2015, has recently come under scrutiny after a whistleblower spilled the beans to Congress. The investigation, which now Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino are diving into, raises serious questions about the motives of the FBI and its leadership during that politically charged era. It turns out that rather than investigating a legitimate crime, these agents were engaged in a fishing expedition for any information that could be twisted against the future President.
What’s even more astonishing is the claim that Comey orchestrated this whole operation without any formal case file, covering it up like a magician hiding his tricks. Fishing without a license—who would have thought that would apply to the FBI? One whistleblower observed that there was no predicated foundation for the investigation, which suggests that Comey was playing a game of political chess without the rules. Internal records were left untouched, and the official channels that normally safeguard sensitive inquiries were conveniently ignored.
The deeper one delves, the clearer it becomes that bias may have run rampant within the walls of the FBI. Even the Justice Department’s own Inspector General was none the wiser as agents scrambled to keep their cozy little operation under wraps. Who wouldn’t want the upper hand against a political newcomer like Trump? It seems the stakes were higher than just intelligence—fate required a little more drama, perhaps starring the FBI in a self-produced political thriller.

Ultimately, the plot thickened when the operation was abruptly put to rest after a major news outlet caught wind of it and prepared to publish. The FBI’s cover was blown, and suddenly an undercover agent’s face was deemed too hot to handle. One of the undercover personnel managed to dodge accountability altogether by jumping ship to the CIA, while her partner basked in the glory of promotion, firmly secured in the cozy embrace of the FBI hierarchy.
This entire situation serves as a cautionary tale, revealing significant flaws and questionable ethics surrounding the FBI’s operations during the high-stakes atmosphere of the 2016 election. If the American people needed any more reasons to raise an eyebrow at federal entities, they’ve certainly got them now. In light of this, it’s apparent that more than just an investigation is needed—it’s time for some furniture-moving around the FBI to cleanse the agency of its evident political bias and restore its purported mission of justice, instead of serving as a tool for partisan interests.
