The whistleblower agent "personally knew" that Mr. Comey ordered an FBI investigation into Mr. Trump and that Mr. Comey "personally directed it," according to the disclosure.
The investigation did not appear to target a specific crime but was more of what agents would describe as a fishing expedition to find anything incriminating that could be used against Mr. Trump.
The whistleblower said the undercover operation was obscured from Justice Department Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz, who investigated misconduct in the bureau's probe of the Trump campaign.
"The case had no predicated foundation, so Comey personally directed the investigation without creating an official case file in Sentinel or any other FBI system," according to the whistleblower's disclosure.
And at least two of these people never even left the intelligence community:

Oh, my, that sounds like it opens up a whole lot of questions.
According to the Times, one media outlet had a picture of one of the women, but then the FBI told them it was an FBI informant who would be killed if they published the picture. That's pretty vile and manipulative, if true. The operation was shut down after this.
Now, according to the report, one of the people is at the CIA (yikes) and the other got a promotion is now a "high-level FBI executive in a major field office."
The whistleblower also revealed that FBI employees were warned against talking about this operation with anyone, which the whistleblower took as a threat.
It sounds like finally, we're going to start seeing some accountability. It can't be too hard to find the two people, given the information that they have on their present positions. They likely have a lot of information to offer on the matter. If it is true that there was no predicate for launching the operation, that's potentially problematic, particularly when it involves a presidential campaign.
The other names I'd like to see testify/document Joe Pi
entka who was the male lovebird's partner at the outset and involved, and whose 302 (though he was the one doing the note taking supposedly) was never (fully) disclosed. He was sent to San Francisco and then disappeared.

PS. It isn't just Pientka:
Quote:
FBI Director Christopher Wray has named David W. Archey as special agent in charge of the Richmond Field Office. Mr. Archey most recently served as a deputy assistant director in the Counterintelligence Division at FBI Headquarters and was assigned as the FBI senior lead at the Special Counsel's Office. (link)
There are people still at the FBI/CIA who can be forced to disclose this sordid history finally, with folks like Kash/Bongino asking the right questions at last.
And
what prosecutor at DoJ was leading the leak investigation for 3.5 years into 70+ congress critters using a grand jury since mid-2017, appointed by Rosenstein?
Never identified. It wasn't directed by Trump, and the targets weren't just democrats, of course. My suspicion remains that this goes back to 'The Hammer:"
Quote:
NSA/CIA contractor-turned whistleblower Dennis Montgomery: President Obama's (DNI) James Clapper and (CIA) director John Brennan oversaw a secret supercomputer system known as "THE HAMMER."
The tapes reveal that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance court (FISA), Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, 156 other judges, members of Congress, and Donald J. Trump were all targeted by the HAMMER.
Who really ran it, how/why, and in what ways was it used to develop cases/compromising material on what people.
Finally, I am suspicious to this day that
"Azra Turk" was one of the honeypots. She also disappeared. Did she serve this 'honeypot' role in any other related traps for Trump officials/associates?
