Kash Patel Releases Statement on Female Agent Accused of Being “Honeypot” in Comey’s 2016 Operation Against Trump

FBI Director Kash Patel on Friday evening released a statement after a female FBI agent was falsely accused of being one of the two “honeypots” from James Comey’s operation to take out Trump in 2016.

Earlier this week, Kash Patel launched an investigation into former Director James Comey’s secret “honeypot” operation involving 2 female undercover agents who targeted President Trump’s 2016 campaign, according to The Washington Times.

Last October it was revealed that according to an FBI whistleblower, former Director James Comey inserted two female agents inside the Trump campaign in 2016.

The Washington Times reported that the female agents were directed to act as “honeypots” and travel with Trump and his staff.

This was an “off-the-books” operation and was separate from Comey and Obama’s Crossfire Hurricane operation (launched in July 2016) that targeted Trump based on false Russian collusion lies.

One of the undercover agents involved in Comey’s operation was transferred to the CIA so she would not be a potential witness.

The other undercover agent was promoted to a high-ranking position at the FBI.

On Friday Kash Patel pushed back after a female FBI agent was falsely accused of being a honeypot.

How Obama’s FAA used a skewed multiple-choice quiz to prioritize DEI applicants and bar the brightest from air traffic controller jobs

A job questionnaire for aspiring air traffic controllers introduced by the Obama administration was designed to meet secret DEI target numbers, DailyMail.com can reveal. 

The aspiring controllers were given extra credit for being ‘risk takers’, in the bizarre multiple-choice quiz to secretly prioritize DEI applicants. 

It required virtually no knowledge of aviation to pass but top marks were awarded to candidates who ‘need a great deal of time to complete assignments’ and ‘take chances very often’.  

And playing three or more sports in high school was rated more valuable than having a stint as an air traffic controller in the military.

Now DailyMail.com has obtained the quiz so you can see how you would fare. 

The 2014 entry test proved notoriously hard to pass for elite, mostly white college graduates who excelled in traditional cognitive tests.

But race reformers said it paved the way for more ‘off the street’ hires – namely women and minorities – to land high stakes jobs responsible for the lives of millions of air passengers.

‘Bonkers is the right word for this,’ one aviation expert told DailyMail.com.

‘Obama Bros’ admit they should’ve done ‘some of the stuff’ Trump is doing with DOGE

Former aides to President Barack Obama admitted on an episode of “Pod Save America” they should have done “some of the stuff” President Donald Trump is doing with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). 

When discussing DOGE’s initiatives to cut federal spending, the “Obama Bros” admitted to “lamenting” their situation.

Jon Lovett, a former Obama speechwriter, implied he “didn’t know” they could make government so efficient. 

“Honestly, some of this is pretty annoying because it’s some of the stuff we should’ve done. We didn’t know you could do some of this,” Lovett said. 

Jon Favreau, also a former Obama speechwriter, shared Lovett’s frustration, admitting the Obama administration tried to cut through bureaucracy and create government efficiency, but “it’s hard to do.”

“We all know that government is slow. We all know government can be inefficient. We all know that the bureaucracy can be bloated. We all worked in the f—ing White House. We tried to reorganize the government. We tried to find efficiency. It’s hard to do,” Favreau said.

Elizabeth Warren’s Hubris Allowed Trump To Defund the CFPB

Since at least the days of the ancient Greeks, humans have known that one way to write a compelling story is by including a bit of hamartia—a tragic flaw.

Sometimes that is a physical shortcoming—Achilles had that famously vulnerable heel—but it is often more interesting if the flaw is a more innate thing tied to a character’s understanding of themselves. Hubris, or excessive pride, is the famous one. After all, it wasn’t really Achilles’ unprotected heel that took him down, but his false belief that his mother had made him invulnerable.

You might say the exact same thing about the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). It could be headed into a sort of coma later this year because of a fatal flaw embedded by its own parents: Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D–Mass.) and former President Barack Obama.

Unlike every other department and agency within the federal government, the CFPB is not funded via congressional appropriations. Instead, its funding flows directly from the Federal Reserve. Each year, the White House submits a budget to the Federal Reserve, and the central bank hands over the necessary amount—$729.4 million last year, in case you were wondering.

For a long time after the CFPB was created in 2010, there were serious questions about the constitutionality of that structure. That finally got resolved last year, when the Supreme Court ruled that Congress was within its powers to hand off the purse strings. So, funding the CFPB via the Federal Reserve is not unconstitutional—it’s just unorthodox and foolish.

Here’s where the hubris enters the story. When Warren and Obama created the CFPB, they designed that unorthodox funding structure specifically to prevent a future Republican-led Congress from trying to defund the bureau. Remember, this was in the age when Republicans were running around the country telling voters they intended to repeal Obamacare too. By isolating the CFPB from Congress’ budgetary powers, Warren was trying to make it invulnerable to attack.

Instead, she simply gave it a fatal flaw.

CONFIRMED: Former DNC Donor/Fundraiser Says Joe Biden’s Presidency ‘Was for Sure Obama’s Third Term’ 

Former DNC donor and fundraiser Lindi Li has been in the news repeatedly since the 2024 election. She is one of the loudest voices calling out the Democrat party and the Kamala Harris campaign for blowing through more than a billion dollars and losing, with no accountability on how the money was spent.

She recently appeared on the Shawn Ryan podcast and when Ryan asked her who was running the government for the last four years, she said it was Obama’s third term, confirming what many other people have suggested.

She then went on to name people in Biden’s inner circle, such as Anita Dunn, Ron Klain and others.

BizPacReview has details:

Commentator and former campaign advisor Lindy Li spoke on the “Shawn Ryan Show” about who was really in charge during President Joe Biden’s run at the White House and dished on Kamala Harris’s campaign for president.

“A lot of people say it was Obama’s third term. There’s rumors of… And these aren’t even… These are friends of mine that are moderate Democrats, say that they thought it was Elizabeth Warren running it. They thought it was Bernie Sanders running it,” host Shawn Ryan said. “But I think the general consensus, I think if you asked the majority of the population, they think it was Obama’s third term.”

“It was for sure Obama’s third term. I don’t think that’s even a question,” Li replied.

“That’s why you saw Obama fighting for his dear life. Why was he fighting so hard in the fall? Because he was fighting for his fourth term. He was fighting for his own legacy,” she continued, comparing the relationship between Obama and Biden to that between Lyndon B. Johnson and John F. Kennedy.

MORE LEGAL INSANITY: Obama Judge Blocks Trump Administration from Sending Venezuelan Migrants to Guantanamo Bay

Yet another judge has decided to legislate from the bench to stop President Trump from carrying out his agenda.

As Fox News reported, a federal court in New Mexico issued a temporary restraining order barring the Trump administration from shipping three Venezuelan immigrants held in the state to Guantánamo Bay as part of Trump’s efforts to rid America of illegal aliens.

The migrants’ lawyers accused the administration of racial profiling, stating in a legal filing that the men “fit the profile of those the administration has prioritized for detention in Guantánamo, i.e., Venezuelan men detained in the El Paso area with (false) charges of connections with the Tren de Aragua gang.”

The attorneys also went on to whine about “the mere uncertainty the government has created surrounding the availability of legal process and counsel access is sufficient to authorize the modest injunction.”

Attorney Jessica Vosburgh, who represents the three individuals, revealed District Court Judge Kenneth J. Gonzales granted the temporary restraining order.

Readers will not be surprised to find out that Gonzales was nominated to the bench by Barack Obama.

Firm Says Obama Admin Helped China Steal Their Tech. New Legal Action Seeks To Shut Them Up.

A new video series from small tech firm ParkerVision claims that big tech giant Qualcomm stole their patented groundbreaking technology before offshoring it to China — all while allegedly colluding with the Obama administration to get away with it.

Part one of the four-part series, called “Against the Giants,” outlines how ParkerVision took Qualcomm to court in 2011, once they believed Qualcomm stole their patented chip. A unanimous jury verdict found Qualcomm guilty, but seven weeks later, the Obama-appointed judge decided to dismiss the entire case, citing “an insufficient evidentiary basis” over the alleged patent infringement. The shocking swing sparked ParkerVision to look further into the matter, allegedly finding collusion with the Obama administration.

Outlined as one piece of evidence in the series, ParkerVision says the Obama DOJ and the executive office of the president visited the company’s website and viewed ParkerVision’s litigation against Qualcomm before Obama flew to California to raise money for the DNC at the Qualcomm CEO’s home.

ParkerVision and Qualcomm are still enthralled in a legal battle to this day.

“Big tech’s betrayal of America — unveiled,” the X account for “Against the Giants” reads. “Inside the untold story of how big tech giant Qualcomm ripped-off one of the most important patented innovations in American history and shipped it off to China with the help from the US government. Did the Obama Admin provide cover?”

More Victims of Obama/Biden Persecutions Remain Hopeful to Receive Trump Pardons and Clemency

President Donald Trump campaigned on pardoning the January 6th political prisoners on day one, and the President kept his promise, pardoning a historic number of people in his first week. Trump has also issued a variety of pardons to other individuals, such as the 20 pro-lifers convicted by the Biden Department of Justice, who were prosecuted for praying at abortion clinics.

Trump pardoned or granted clemency to 237 people in his first term, many of them at the very end of his term in 2020. So far, just two weeks into Trump’s new term, he has pardoned over 1,500 individuals.

Several however, are still quietly lobbying the new Trump administration and its key staffers looking for pardons, hoping that their cases are not lost in the fast-paced Trump administration.

Just yesterday, Trump was lukewarm to a reporter’s question about a pardon for NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden. Last May, Trump said he would give “very serious consideration” to pardoning Wikileaks’ Julian Assange.

But lesser-known individuals also still seeking pardons range from former Congressmen to pastors to State Senators and Bitcoin billionaires.

Harris Campaign Paid $100K to Obama for ‘Travel’ and $58K to Rapper Cardi B, Who Claimed She ‘Didn’t Get a Dollar’ From Campaign

Kamala Harris’s campaign paid nearly $100,000 to a shell company for former president Barack Obama to travel to events and roughly $60,000 to rapper Cardi B, who said she “didn’t get a dollar” to appear alongside the failed presidential candidate.

Harris for President paid $95,576 to Renegade44, LLC. for “travel” expenses and $58,867 to Washpoppin, Inc. for “campaign event production,” according to campaign records reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon. Public records show the firms are owned by Obama and Cardi B, whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Cephus, respectively.

It’s the latest example of the Harris campaign’s elaborate spending on celebrities and influencers—a spending spree that has stoked intense scrutiny after Harris’s decisive loss to President Donald Trump. The campaign spent $1.5 billion in just three months, with tens of millions of dollars going to celebrities and activists, most of whom did not disclose their payments from the Harris campaign. The campaign records also undercut Cardi B’s public comments about her appearance at a Harris event in Milwaukee on Nov. 1.

“I didn’t get paid a dollar and that’s on my three!!” Cardi B, referring to her three children, said in a social media exchange with pundit Candace Owens on Nov. 14. “I actually came out of pocket for glam and travel because it’s somewhere I wanted to be.”

The Harris campaign paid Cardi B’s company on Dec. 12, records show. The terms and timeline of the campaign’s agreement with Cardi B’s firm were not immediately clear. Representatives for the rapper and Harris did not respond to requests for comment.

Cardi B didn’t perform any songs at the Harris campaign event. She spoke for 10 minutes, saying she “wasn’t going to vote” in the election until Harris entered the race against “bully” Trump. “Vice President Kamala Harris, thank you for having me. I do not take lightly the call to show up,” she said.

Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama appeared at events in Atlanta, Detroit, and Pittsburgh on behalf of the Harris campaign. Obama sparked controversy after his Oct. 10 appearance in Pittsburgh, during which he suggested many black men harbored misogynistic beliefs about Harris.

A lack of enthusiasm for Harris, Obama said, “seems to be more pronounced with the brothers.”

Fact Check: Yes, Obama and Biden Had FAA Hire People with Intellectual, Psychiatric, Severe Physical Disabilities

As someone whose father was in the aeronautics business — and who got passed on plenty of his wisdom from a young age — there are two things that I know, even as an unskilled observer, about airplane crashes.

The first is that there’s never one single thing to blame for disasters, especially when it involves airliners; so much redundancy is built into the system that numerous things have to go wrong, either simultaneously or over a period of time, for a crash to happen. The second is that nobody — nobody — knows what caused the disaster in the first 24 hours. (Anyone old enough to remember how wrong we were about TWA Flight 800 being bombed or hit by a missile?)

The collision between American Airlines Flight 5342 and a U.S. Army helicopter, which claimed 67 lives, may have reached a new low in this department. As Dan McLaughlin pointed out at National Review, people are already blaming Trump administration Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy for the disaster just outside of Reagan National Airport near Washington, D.C.
