1/The media calls recently fired FBI agent Walter Giardina a martyr.
I call him the tip of the spear in a weaponized FBI campaign to take down Donald Trump—and imprison me.🧵
2/ Giardina wasn’t just “doing his job.”
He was there at every anti-Trump lawfare OP.
3/ In 2016, whistleblowers say Giardina vouched for Hillary’s phony Steele Dossier.
Whistleblowers say he called it “corroborated”—even though its most explosive claims were unverified and false.
Giardina’s lies or incompetence triggered Crossfire Hurricane – the “Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax.”
4/ Crossfire gave the FBI cover to spy on Trump’s campaign and set the table for Mueller’s witch hunt.
Giardina joined that team too.
Later, Giardina's laptop was mysteriously wiped clean say whistleblowers —shades of Hillary, who lost thousands of her emails while under federal investigation. Gone.
5/ Giardina was also involved in the “Crimson River” bogus claim that Egypt funneled $10 million into Trump’s 2016 campaign.
The "Egypt, Egypt, Egypt Hoax" was conveniently leaked to the Washington Post before the 2024 election.
Lawfare is as lawfare does.
6/ @ChuckGrassley – on a mission to out the Dems’ weaponization of our justice system – revealed Giardina’s heavy involvement and that the Egypt case was marked “Prohibited Access” to keep it walled off from internal oversight.
7/ Giardina abused the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause probe, say whistleblowers, to license another fishing expedition with no predicate.
The result: headlines tailored for a Deep State takedown. More smokescreens. More lawfare.
8/ Then came Arctic Frost—the January 6 dragnet. Phones seized. President Trump and Mike Pence targeted. @DrJohnEastman, @JeffClarkUS, and @RudyGiuliani persecuted.
Once again, whistleblowers and Senate records say Giardina a key player.
9/ In 2022, Giardina came for me.
I stood on 200 years of executive privilege—settled DOJ policy for White House advisers.
No matter. Giardina put me in handcuffs anyway.
10/ FBI choreographed the arrest in chilling detail: surveillance, iCloud data, media prep.
Media tipped off in advance—Giardina and four armed FBI agents ambushed me and my fiancée at Reagan National Airport.
No lawyer. No call. Just cuffs and leg irons.
11/ My fiancée wasn’t charged. Wasn’t a witness. Yet, she was collateral damage.
I will never forget the sight of her being perp-walked as part of the circus arrest Giardina staged for maximum humiliation.
Nor will I forgive him.
12/ Internal FBI emails released by @ChuckGrassley show it was all scripted.
“Media attention is anticipated.”
One now-former anti-Trump FBI agent, Timothy Thibault, replied: “Wow. Great.”
Even the Obama-appointed judge in my case, Amit Mehta—no friend of mine—questioned the ambush.
13/ For too long, a corrupt faction inside federal law enforcement believed it could decide who governed—and destroyed those who resisted.
That’s not justice. That’s tyranny.
14/ Firing Giardina is not enough.
If there’s no accountability for what he did—for what they did—they’ll do it again.
To President Trump.
To me.
To YOU.
Count on it.
15/ Get the rest of the Giardina story in my new Breitbart piece.
Lawfare on steroids.
