FBI Director Kash Patel has mandated a comprehensive investigation into former Director James Comey’s alleged misconduct related to unauthorized surveillance of Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign. Reports have surfaced accusing Comey of orchestrating a clandestine “honeypot” operation that embedded undercover agents within the Trump campaign to gather potentially damaging information. This purported operation is said to have commenced before the official launch of the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation into Russian interference. The current probe will examine the extent of Comey’s involvement, the legality of the surveillance activities, and any possible misrepresentations made to the FISA court. Director Patel’s directive reflects a broader initiative to restore integrity and accountability within the FBI, especially concerning actions that may have influenced the democratic process.
