Four FBI Ops. Zero Arrests Until Now. Here’s What Changed.

Thursday Q&A Live Kash Patel just blew the lid off four consecutive FBI counterintelligence operations against Trump — and the files were hidden even from the FBI itself. Here’s what we covered yesterday, and what’s next. Adam Sturman Mar 13, 2026 Yesterday’s live Q&A ran two full hours — and a lot happened that most of the media buried under war coverage.The Iran situation is moving fast, but the FBI bombshell Kash Patel just detonated may be the bigger story. If you understand the framework Barbara and Susan laid out yesterday, both stories start to fit together.Here’s what we covered — and what’s happened since:FBI Caught Red-Handed: Four Counterintelligence Ops Against Trump — ExposedIran War Update: Day 13, Strait of Hormuz, and the SPR ReleaseUN Security Council Condemns Iran — Russia and China Abstain”Is Trump Doing Israel’s Bidding?” — We Took the Hardest Questions Head-OnWhy No Arrests Yet? Barbara Explained Exactly What’s HappeningThe Ayatollah’s London Real Estate — Bloomberg Just Proved Our PointTOMORROW! Midterm Bootcamp Update and How to Get Off the SidelinesLIVE REPLAY — Thursday, March 12thFBI Caught Red-Handed: Four Consecutive Counterintelligence OpsThis was the centerpiece of yesterday’s show — and it’s being buried by the war coverage.Trump targeted by four FBI code-named counterintel probes that ensnared hundreds of AmericansAbuse of Power? Director Kash Patel is building a criminal case in one operation, and planning the declassification of two others so Congress can be informed of abuses by previous administrations targeting Trump and hundreds of supporters with lawfare.Just The NewsJohn SolomonJohn Solomon and Kash Patel have exposed four consecutive FBI counterintelligence operations targeting Trump and his supporters over the past decade: Crossfire Hurricane, Round River, Arctic Frost, and Plastic Echo. These weren’t ordinary criminal investigations. They were counterintelligence operations — conducted under Executive Order 12333 — which means the FBI could wiretap, run black bag jobs, and use the media as a weapon, all without the normal legal guardrails.Barbara laid it out: these files were hidden in “privileged access” vaults, classified even from most of the FBI. That’s why nobody’s been in handcuffs yet — the evidence was literally locked away. Kash Patel is now declassifying it, and what’s coming next could be explosive.Iran War Update: Day 13 and the Strait of HormuzTrump said we’re “very far ahead of schedule” and that Iran’s military capabilities have been largely neutralized. But the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively shut down — tanker traffic has dropped from roughly 50 per day to single digits or zero. Oil is back above $100 a barrel and gas has hit $3.60.Trump ordered the release of 172 million barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, and IEA member countries pledged an additional 400 million barrels collectively. Navy escorts through the Strait are not yet operational — Energy Secretary Chris Wright acknowledged the U.S. isn’t ready for that step while military assets remain focused on degrading Iran’s offensive capabilities.As Barbara emphasized: this isn’t about Iran. It’s about reshaping the entire global strategic environment. Trump has united the Gulf states and Israel against the Iranian regime, China has publicly condemned Iran’s attacks on its neighbors, and a UN Security Council resolution passed with Russia and China abstaining — not vetoing. That’s a seismic shift.”Is Trump Doing Israel’s Bidding?”We took three of the hardest Israel questions on-air — including whether Israel is a nuclear threat, whether Netanyahu is dragging Trump into war, and where Israel fits in the broader conflict.Barbara was direct: Trump has held this position on Iran’s nuclear program since he was a private citizen — long before Netanyahu was a factor. The Abraham Accords are the only framework anyone has proposed that could create lasting peace in the Middle East. October 7th was designed to blow them up. And Trump is more popular in Israel than Netanyahu — which gives him leverage, not dependence.Why No Arrests Yet?Barbara walked through exactly why the indictment timeline has been so frustrating — and why it’s about to change. Grand juries in Washington, D.C. wouldn’t indict Comey. The Eastern District of Virginia wouldn’t even forward the indictment. The counterintelligence files that prove the scope of the operation were hidden in classified vaults.That’s what’s different now. Kash Patel is pulling these files into the light. And the next shoe to drop — possibly this week or next — involves foreign government infiltration of U.S. voter rolls, starting with Maricopa County, Arizona.The Ayatollah’s London Real EstateSusan flagged the Bloomberg investigation revealing that Iran’s new supreme leader holds enormous financial and real estate assets in London through front men. This is the pattern: the British elite invite the ruling classes of their former colonies to park corrupt money in the City of London — and that becomes the control mechanism.Mojtaba Khameni: How Iran Supreme Leader’s Son Built a Global Property EmpireMojtaba Khamenei has amassed sprawling international investments, while economic hardship at home has sparked Iran’s deadliest protests in decades.BloombergBen BartensteinAs Barbara put it: Jeffrey Epstein was a piker compared to how this arrangement actually works. London has been the safe house for terrorist financing for decades — and it’s now being exposed in real time. 🗽 America 250 Founding Fathers CollectionHamilton built America’s economic system — the very system Trump is now restoring.
