Topic: Confidential Informants

A theory is posited that media personality Don Lemon is acting as a confidential informant (CI) for the FBI following his involvement in a church protest dubbed "Operation Pull-Up." The failure of local judges to initially arrest Lemon, despite his presence during illegal acts, is cited as a potential "blown cover" for a federal asset. Attorney General Pam Bondi reportedly intervened to ensure standard legal procedures were followed to maintain the appearance of impartiality.

The concept of the FBI six-week cycle is examined as a methodology allegedly used during the James Comey era to maintain public visibility and justify budgets. This tactic involves using confidential informants to encourage individuals toward illegal acts, providing fake explosives, and executing high-profile arrests on a predictable schedule. The effectiveness of this strategy is questioned following the departure of key PR personnel from the bureau.

James Clapper appeared on The View to promote his book and discuss the FBI's investigation into Russian election interference. Clapper defended the use of confidential informants as a "benign tool" and expressed concern that publicizing the identity of such sources would have a chilling effect on future intelligence gathering.
