Staff Reports
The FBI has found itself entangled in a scandal reminiscent of a bad spy novel, and it turns out the agency’s cast of characters includes not just agents, but a pair of so-called “honeypots.” Recent reports reveal that FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino are on the hunt for two female agents involved in an off-the-books operation targeting Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. It’s hard to believe, but here we are—the bureaucracy’s latest blunder brings back memories of the agency’s notorious misconduct.
The term “honeypot,” often associated with classic spy craft, refers to female operatives who feign romantic interest to extract sensitive information from their targets. Seems the FBI thought that a little flirtation would yield some juicy intel on Trump, rather than focusing on actual crimes. This scheme, reportedly initiated by former FBI Director James Comey back in 2015, has all the hallmarks of a desperate fishing expedition. The agency appears to have taken on the role of a romantic comedy rather than that of a serious law enforcement entity.
And this is,
operation ‘Honeypot’
FBI Director, Kash Patel and Deputy Director, Dan Bongino, are officially investigating Barack Obama’s deputy chief of staff James Comey’s secret off-the-book operation that predated Crossfire Hurricane.

Just recently, a whistleblower—a presumably brave FBI agent—revealed that the agency had designated two undercover operatives to infiltrate Trump’s campaign. These agents were allegedly told to engage in their honeypot antics while accompanying the then-candidate. One has to wonder how far the agency is willing to go. It’s puzzling that instead of devising strategies to protect national security, they were busy playing matchmaker—and not in a wholesome way.
This disclosure follows earlier claims that, from the moment Trump announced his candidacy in June 2015, the Bureau intended to target him in a process described as a mere “fishing expedition.” No evidence of wrongdoing was needed—just a desire to dig up something, anything, to stop Trump in his tracks. While they were busy searching for smoke, it seemed they were more interested in creating drama instead of conducting legitimate investigations.
What’s interesting is the distinction made between this investigation and “Crossfire Hurricane,” which took a more aggressive stance on the Trump-Russia narrative. The whistleblower’s information suggests the FBI switched gears from chasing collusion to chasing romantic entanglements in what seems like a clear lapse in judgment across the ranks. Further muddying the waters, during his presidency, Trump took the steps to declassify documents related to Crossfire Hurricane, possibly hinting that he had more evidence about the FBI’s misguided crusades than they care to admit.
It looks like the FBI hasn’t learned its lesson. As it stands, the agency’s foray into covert matchmaking and dubious tactics only deepens the mistrust many have of federal institutions. As the investigation continues and more details leak out, one can only hope the American public will wake up to the antics of these bureaucrats playing house with national security. The real question remains: How much longer will these outdated tactics continue before accountability takes center stage?
