Aimed at accountability, America’s newest G-men are reportedly looking into former FBI Director James Comey over a particular off-the-books operation involving President Donald Trump.
With the public clamoring for the Justice Department to live up to its name, FBI Director Kash Patel and newly-minted Deputy Director Dan Bongino more than had their work cut out for them. Toward that end, the Washington Times reported Tuesday that Comey’s “honeypot” operation that had been launched in 2015 on Trump’s first presidential campaign was getting its own investigation.
Regarding at least two female agents that had been sent undercover to infiltrate the campaign of the then-businessman running against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the newspaper detailed, “The Times has learned that the bureau, now led by Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino, is looking for those once-undercover employees under Mr. Comey’s direction.”
Referencing the whistleblower who disclosed the plan to the House Judiciary Committee in 2024, the Times noted that the “honeypot” was separate from the Crossfire Hurricane investigation that sought to find alleged Russian collusion from the Trump campaign by way of 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,” asserted the whistleblower disclosure of Obama-era infiltration of the GOP leader’s campaign.
“The FBI has multiple methods of protecting highly sensitive investigations, so Comey did not have a legitimate reason not to officially create an investigation file or have a file number,” added the whistleblower.
While the former FBI director enjoys the limelight of corporate media fawning as he embarks on book tours, Patel is left working to restore the agency’s reputation that has been thoroughly tarnished under his predecessors former Director Christopher Wray, former acting Director Andrew McCabe, former Director Robert Mueller, and Comey.
Patel began that effort by notifying managers late last week that roughly 1,500 employees were being transferred from Washington, D.C. to various field offices around the country, including 500 to Alabama.
“This will include streamlining our operations at headquarters while bolstering the presence of field agents across the nation,” the director was quoted as telling employees Friday.

As it happened, a report in December revealed that Patel, then a House Intelligence Committee staffer, was among at least 43 congressional staffers and two Democratic Party politicians being spied on by the FBI dating back to 2017.
The McCabe and Wray-approved investigation was justified over leaks of classified information to corporate media regarding the FBI’s probe into Russian collusion that was later proven as a hoax.
“I promise you the following,” Patel said after being sworn in by Attorney General Pam Bondi, “there will be accountability within the FBI and outside of the FBI, and we will do it through rigorous constitutional oversight starting this weekend.”
