FBI’s Patel says Trump 'honeypot' story not true, defends female agent

Conservative media reported a whistleblower provided evidence the FBI under former Director James Comey ran a “honeypot” operation against Trump to try to entrap him as far back as 2015.

In a rare and extraordinary pushback, new FBI Director Kash Patel said Friday night that media reports claiming a female agent ran a “honeypot” operation against Donald Trump during the Obama years was not true and unfair to the agent.
 
“A female agent was falsely referenced in the media this week as part of an alleged whistleblower disclosure- she was NOT a honeypot,” Patel wrote in a post on the social media platform X.

“I have reviewed the matter, again, and she did the limited job assigned to her. These actions were also reviewed by Special Counsel John Durham and he found no evidence of any wrongdoing by her,” the director said. “This agent has dedicated her life to public service, and I will have her back for it.”

If so, good.

It dawns on me that false accusations are a means of ridding the Democrats of loyal people in these agencies. I am glad to see Patel taking a measured response to the accusations.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Oh, my goodness!  This suggests the deep state and its supporters will lie and falsely use the names of people to pin a crime on someone.  The FBI is too honest for that. *****rollingeyes*****

With vindication, the trail now leads back to the accuser. Those breadcrumbs work both ways.
