A look at the FBIโ€™s last six years shows a pattern of irredeemable corruption.

an the FBI be trusted? A Federalist analysis of agency lies over the last decade is an unequivocal no.

FISA Warrants

In the summer of 2016, FBI bureaucrats launched a deep-state operation, known as Crossfire Hurricane, to thwart then-candidate Trumpโ€™s presidential ambitions. It began by targeting Trump campaign foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos and quickly branched out as bureaucrats expanded their surveillance. The spy agency used the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) as a legal pretext to investigate and spy on Papadopoulos, in addition to former White House national security adviser Michael Flynn, former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort, and former Trump adviser Carter Page. Several were interviewed by undercover FBI informant Stefan Halper, whose own investigation would prove a bust.

According to aย declassified transcriptย between Papadopoulos and a Crossfire Hurricane confidential human source (CHS), Papadopoulos repeatedly denied the Trump campaign was working with Russian-backed entities to capture the 2016 election. The FBI, however, wrote off Papadopoulosโ€™s recorded answers as rehearsed and omitted his denials of campaign collusion with overseas actors in FISA court warrant applications and renewals. These were two of the 17 โ€œsignificant inaccuracies and omissionsโ€ identified in the Department of Justice (DOJ) inspector generalโ€™s blockbuster report on the investigation in December 2019.

Papadopoulos, who pled guilty to making a false statement to the FBI in aย perjury trap, was far from the only individual to face political persecution from the federal governmentโ€™s dystopian investigation.

Not one of the four FISA warrants obtained by the FBI was legally justified, according to DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitzโ€™s report. In fact, at least two of the warrant applications to spy on Page wereย declared illegalย by a federal judge. Following Horowitzโ€™s blistering report outlining FBI misconduct throughout the entire operation, another federal judgeย declaredย that agency malfeasance โ€œcalls into question whether information contained in other FBI applications is reliable.โ€
