The FBI’s campaign against Donald Trump runs even deeper than we knew. Newly declassified memos reveal that the Bureau opened a secret investigation into whether the President was a Russian asset after he fired James Comey in 2017. Federal law enforcement treated the duly elected President of the United States as a potential foreign agent because he exercised his constitutional authority to remove an FBI director.
The White House declassified these documents Tuesday, and they paint a damning picture of an agency that had lost all sense of proportion. According to the memos, FBI officials discussed using the Twenty-Fifth Amendment to remove Trump from office and actively investigated whether his Russia policy was directed by the Kremlin. Not because they had evidence of a crime. Not because of credible intelligence. But because the President had the audacity to fire a man who many Americans believe deserved dismissal.
This wasn’t counterintelligence. This was political warfare conducted under the color of law enforcement authority. The FBI wasn’t investigating Russian interference—they were investigating the President himself, treating his foreign policy decisions as potential evidence of treason. When Trump pursued détente with Moscow, Bureau officials saw compromise rather than diplomacy. When he criticized NATO, they saw marching orders from Putin rather than a legitimate critique of an alliance that has free-ridden on American taxpayers for decades.
The timing matters too. These memos were written in the fevered days after Comey’s firing, when the media was in full hysteria mode and the administrative state was in open rebellion. The FBI leadership wasn’t conducting a sober assessment of national security threats—they were scrambling for leverage against a President they clearly despised.
What does it say about our justice institutions when they can brand a President a possible traitor based on little more than policy disagreements and personality clashes? The same FBI that couldn’t be bothered to verify the Steele dossier before using it to spy on Carter Page was perfectly willing to investigate the Commander-in-Chief as a foreign asset.
This is the deep state in action—not a conspiracy theory, but a documented fact. And every American who values constitutional government should be alarmed.
Providence watches over the bold.
