参议院司法委员会主席、爱荷华州共和党人查克·格拉斯利公布了一批来自“跨火风暴行动”的联邦调查局特工之间的未解密邮件。“跨火风暴行动”是奥巴马政府期间启动的一项司法部调查，旨在调查2016年大选期间时任总统候选人唐纳德·特朗普的竞选团队是否与俄罗斯勾结。
格拉斯利认为，这些邮件往来——其中包括前联邦调查局特别特工凯文·古诺试图针对政府效率部（DOGE）对埃隆·马斯克展开调查——暴露了“深层政府”正在破坏特朗普的计划。
“奥巴马和拜登领导的前民主党政府实施了秘密、阴险且彻头彻尾的邪恶行动，差一点就搞垮了我们的政府，”格拉斯利在与联邦调查局局长卡什·帕特尔的监督听证会上表示。“这可以说比水门事件更恶劣。”

近十年来，在格拉斯利的指示下，参议院司法委员会已经公布了来自“北极霜冻行动”和“圆河行动”等几项联邦调查局行动的多轮文件，指控司法部被用于针对特朗普和共和党人。
“深层政府在官僚机构阴暗角落持续发动的全面攻势，比针对特朗普的任何指控都更恶劣。至少他坦坦荡荡，民众可以自行评判，”格拉斯利说。
参议院司法委员会最新披露的文件核心人物是三名前联邦调查局特工：古诺、去年8月被帕特尔以政治武器化为由解雇的沃尔特·贾尔迪纳，以及蒂莫西·蒂博。
根据古诺的领英页面，他于今年2月离职，他在2025年2月发送了一封邮件，请求对马斯克展开刑事调查。当时马斯克正以政府特殊雇员的身份监督政府效率部。古诺的投诉集中在马斯克在X平台上宣布计划让所有政府雇员分享他们当天完成的五项工作内容。
“马斯克使用非政府系统（推特）发布据称属于公务范畴的信息。在此过程中，由于他拥有商业利益（他是推特的多数股东），他很可能根据推特的盈利模式和/或广告收入为自己赚取了收益，”古诺写道。“他在此次及其他事件中使用推特的行为，在概念上与希拉里·克林顿为处理公务使用私人电子邮件服务器的不当行为类似。”
格拉斯利随后在X平台上发文批评这名前联邦调查局特工。

“我今天公布的这封邮件显示，一名联邦调查局特工准备提起刑事诉讼，仅仅因为埃隆·马斯克要求政府官僚汇报他们一周内完成的五件事，”格拉斯利写道。“对比一下那些从早到晚辛勤工作的爱荷华州民众，华盛顿真的是一座与现实隔绝的孤岛。”
此次文件披露还显示，贾尔迪纳在2017年1月开始的四周时间里，至少发了七封邮件，请求被指派加入“跨火风暴行动”。该调查的结果于几个月后的5月移交给了特别检察官罗伯特·米勒。

邮件显示，贾尔迪纳曾与蒂博通信，而格拉斯利曾指控蒂博违反《哈奇法案》。美国特别检察官办公室对这一指控进行了调查并予以驳回，起因是蒂博在当时的推特上转发了林肯项目的一条帖子，将特朗普称为“心理扭曲、心怀怨恨且极度不快乐的人”。
蒂博出现在贾尔迪纳发给前主管特工乔·皮恩卡的多封邮件中。
“根据目前已知的记录，这起案件并未推进，”格拉斯利说。“他的努力，以及他试图对西内马参议员展开的调查，都与前联邦调查局官员‘特工不会自行选择调查案件’的公开声明相悖。”

‘Worse than Watergate’ New FBI files detail agent’s push to join Trump probe, investigate Elon Musk
September 16, 2026 11:09am EDT / Fox News
Grassley said the unclassified exchanges prove the ‘Deep State’ worked to undermine Trump and Republicans

The Senate Judiciary Committee Chair says newly public records provide further evidence of what he describes as a yearslong effort by law enforcement and intelligence officials to target Trump and other Republicans.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, released a batch of unclassified emails between FBI agents stemming from Operation Crossfire Hurricane, a Justice Department investigation launched during the Obama administration into whether then-presidential candidate Donald Trump’s campaign was colluding with Russia during the 2016 election.
Grassley argued that the email exchanges, which included former FBI Special Agent Kevin Gounaud seeking to open an investigation into Elon Musk over the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), revealed that the “Deep State” was at work to undermine Trump.
“The previous Democrat administrations under Obama and Biden conducted secret, insidious and downright evil operations that almost took down our government,” Grassley said during an Oversight hearing with FBI Director Kash Patel. “That’s arguably worse than Watergate.”

Over the past decade, the Senate Judiciary Committee, at the direction of Grassley, has released several rounds of documents from a few FBI operations such as Operation Arctic Frost and Round River, alleging that the Justice Department was being weaponized against Trump and Republicans.
“The overall sustained efforts by the Deep State in the dark corners of the bureaucracy is worse than anything Trump has been accused of. At least he’s upfront and open so people can judge,” Grassley said.
At the center of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s most recent document release are three former FBI agents: Gounaud, Walter Giardina, who was fired by Patel in August over accusations of political weaponization, and Timothy Thibault.
Gounaud, who left the bureau in February, according to his LinkedIn, sent an email in February 2025 seeking to begin a criminal investigation of Musk. At the time, Musk was a special government employee overseeing DOGE. Gounaud’s complaint centered on Musk announcing on X his plan to have all government employees share five things they worked on that day.
“Musk used a non government system (twitter) to relate information that allegedly was for official purposes. In doing so, because he is monetized (he is a majority owner of twitter) he likely generated income for himself based on Twitter’s monetization model and/or advertising revenues,” Gounaud wrote. “His use of twitter in this and other instances is conceptually similar to Hillary Clinton’s misuse of a private email server for government business.”
Grassley later criticized the former FBI agent in a post on X.

“Here is an email I released 2day showing an FBI agent who was ready2 open a CRIMINAL CASE all bc Elon Musk asked govt bureaucrats 2 report 5 things they did in a wk,” Grassley wrote. “Compare that 2 Iowans who work frm sunup to sundown EVERY DAY Washington rlly is an island surrounded by reality.”
The document dump also shows that Giardina emailed at least seven times over the course of four weeks beginning in January 2017 asking to be assigned to Crossfire Hurricane. The findings of the investigation were handed off to Special Counsel Robert Mueller a few months later in May.

The emails show that Giardina was in correspondence with Thibault, who Grassley had accused of violating the Hatch Act. The allegation, which was investigated and dismissed by the U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC), stemmed from Thibault resharing a post on then Twitter by the Lincoln Project, which called Trump a “psychologically broken, embittered, and deeply unhappy man.”
Thibault is included in several emails sent by Giardina to former Supervising Agent Joe Pientka.

“Based on the records known to date, that case didn’t advance,” Grassley said. “His efforts, as well as the case he tried to open on Senator Sinema, undercut public statements by former FBI officials that agents don’t get to pick their cases.”
