Insider Blows The Whistle On Mueller Probe

Explosive new allegations from an FBI agent assigned to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation are raising fresh questions about how the high-profile probe into Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign was conducted.

According to a detailed account revealed in a letter from Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, the agent claimed the Mueller team operated in a deeply biased environment where misconduct, political hostility toward Trump, and questionable investigative decisions were commonplace.

The allegations, first made during a December 2020 interview tied to an internal FBI probe, describe what the agent called a “Let’s get him” mentality that permeated the investigation. The probe into alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia ultimately lasted nearly two years and cost taxpayers more than $30 million, but investigators concluded there was no evidence that Trump or his campaign conspired with Russia to influence the 2016 election.

Grassley outlined the whistleblower’s claims in a letter sent Sunday to Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, arguing the testimony reinforces long-standing concerns that political bias influenced decisions inside the special counsel’s office.

“The information provided by the whistleblower confirms long-standing concerns that political bias rotted the decision-making process within the Mueller team,” Grassley wrote. “The American public deserve answers.”

Among the most serious allegations are claims that investigators pursued cases despite lacking legal authority or sufficient evidence.

The agent said the Mueller team opened a case against billionaire businessman Tom Barrack — a close Trump ally and chairman of the 2017 inaugural committee — even after the FBI’s Washington Field Office declined to pursue the investigation. Barrack was later arrested and charged with acting as an unregistered agent of the United Arab Emirates.

After years of legal proceedings, Barrack was acquitted by a jury in 2022. He now serves as the U.S. ambassador to Turkey.

The whistleblower also alleged repeated misuse of federal surveillance authorities under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA. According to the account, investigators renewed surveillance warrants targeting Trump campaign advisers even when evidence suggested the targets were cooperating and no longer suspected of wrongdoing.
