Unauthorized FBI Operation Revealed
A bombshell whistleblower disclosure has sent shockwaves through Washington, alleging that former FBI Director James Comey ordered a covert investigation into Donald Trump’s presidential campaign beginning in June 2015. This operation, reportedly conducted without proper authorization or documentation, raises alarming questions about potential abuses of federal law enforcement powers during a critical election period.
According to the whistleblower’s testimony, two undercover FBI agents were deployed to infiltrate the Trump campaign using “honeypot” techniques to gather intelligence. The operation allegedly targeted specific individuals, including campaign advisor George Papadopoulos, in what appears to be a coordinated effort to uncover damaging information against a presidential candidate.

Senior FBI Officials Implicated
The whistleblower’s account implicates high-ranking FBI officials in overseeing this unauthorized operation. Deputy Director Dave Bowdich and Assistant Director Paul Abbate were allegedly involved in directing the covert investigation, which operated without official case files or standard FBI documentation. This apparent breach of protocol has raised serious concerns about the chain of command and accountability within the Bureau.
“The FBI employee personally observed one or more employees in the FBI being directed to never discuss the operation with anyone ever again, which includes talking with other people involved in the operation.” the whistleblower’s disclosure to the House Judiciary Committee added.
The alleged directive to maintain absolute secrecy about the operation suggests a concerted effort to prevent any scrutiny or oversight of these actions. This level of secrecy, if confirmed, would represent a significant departure from established FBI procedures and raise questions about the legality and ethics of the investigation.

Attempts to Conceal Evidence
The whistleblower’s disclosure also reveals a troubling incident involving potential evidence suppression. When a newspaper reportedly obtained photographic evidence of an FBI agent’s involvement in the operation, the Bureau’s press office allegedly provided misleading information to prevent publication. This raises concerns about potential obstruction and the lengths to which officials may have gone to keep the operation hidden from public view.
“booming, egregious violation” Chris Swecker told The Washington Times.
Former FBI Assistant Director Chris Swecker has weighed in on the allegations, describing them as a “booming, egregious violation” of Bureau protocols if proven true. His assessment underscores the severity of the claims and the potential consequences for those involved in authorizing and conducting the alleged operation.
Congressional Investigation Launched
In response to these explosive allegations, the House Judiciary Committee has announced its intention to investigate the matter thoroughly. A spokesperson for the committee stated that they “plan to look into them,” signaling a serious commitment to uncovering the truth behind these claims.
As this story continues to develop, it is clear that the implications of these allegations extend far beyond the 2016 election. They strike at the heart of public trust in federal law enforcement and raise critical questions about the potential politicization of investigative powers. The outcome of the House Judiciary Committee’s investigation may have far-reaching consequences for the FBI’s reputation and the broader landscape of American democracy.
