Donald Trump has been battling the FBI’s Deep State operatives for years.
The tables have finally turned in his favor.
And the Trump administration’s apprehension of a corrupt FBI agent fleeing America had Donald Trump cheering wildly.
Anti-Trump FBI agent arrested at the airport with classified materials
The FBI has been exposed as a corrupt organization that has weaponized its power against President Donald Trump since he first ran for office.
One of the key agents in the anti-Trump witch hunt has just been caught red-handed attempting to flee the country.
FBI agent Johnathan Buma – a 15-year veteran specializing in counterintelligence – was arrested at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City while preparing to board an international flight.
Federal agents swooped in and arrested Buma on charges of illegally disclosing classified information that he had been stealing since October 2023.
Buma wasn’t just stealing classified documents for personal use – he was actively trying to profit from them.
“[Buma] printed approximately 130 files from the FBI’s internal network… some of which were clearly marked with warnings that made clear that the information was to be protected,” the charging document revealed.
Russian collusion hoaxer caught in the act
This wasn’t just any FBI agent – Buma was deeply involved in pushing debunked Russian collusion conspiracy theories against President Trump.
In 2023, Buma told Business Insider that Rudy Giuliani, one of Trump’s closest allies, could be “compromised” by Russian intelligence.
“Rudy Giuliani may have been compromised by individuals suspected of being involved in Russian counterintelligence influence operations,” Buma claimed, continuing the years-long campaign to smear Trump and his associates.
Buma’s arrest is just the latest evidence that the FBI harbored anti-Trump operatives who would stop at nothing to undermine his presidency.
The disgraced agent came forward as a supposed “whistleblower” in January 2022, making wild allegations that the FBI was ignoring Russian influence in the government.
His claims perfectly matched the narrative that Democrat-friendly media outlets were desperate to push, despite the complete collapse of the Russian collusion hoax.
Book deal grifter exposed
According to the charges, Buma wasn’t just leaking classified information to damage Trump – he was also trying to cash in personally.
The FBI agent had been sharing drafts of a book that contained classified information “related to the FBI’s efforts and investigations into a foreign country’s weapons of mass destruction program.”
He even went so far as to share portions of this classified material on social media, seemingly unable to resist the temptation to build his profile as an anti-Trump “resistance” figure.
The irony wasn’t lost on observers that Buma had previously accused Trump of being “sloppy with classified information” – right before being arrested for the exact same offense, but in a far more deliberate and profit-driven manner.
A pattern of corruption by Deep State actors embedded deep in the FBI
Buma’s arrest highlights the ongoing concerns about corruption and politically motivated misconduct at the FBI.
For years, Trump supporters have argued that elements within the FBI were working to undermine the democratically elected President through a series of leaks, false allegations, and politically-motivated investigations.
This arrest provides concrete evidence that at least some FBI agents were willing to break the law in their campaign against Trump and his allies.
The question now is how many more Bumas are still operating within the agency, and whether President Trump will be able to fully reform the FBI to prevent such abuses in the future.
The disgraced agent’s arrest represents a small measure of accountability in what many conservatives view as a years-long conspiracy to use America’s law enforcement and intelligence agencies as political weapons.
