The New York Post reports that "FBI chief Kash Patel finds ‘burn bags’ of Trump-Russia documents in secret room." From the article:
FBI Director Kash Patel discovered “burn bags” filled with thousands of documents dating back to the bureau’s Trump-Russia probe during the 2016 campaign, a source familiar with the findings told The Post Wednesday.
One of the documents, discovered in a purported secret room at the FBI’s DC headquarters, is a classified annex to the 2023 report by then-special counsel John Durham that scrutinized the original probe, code-named “Crossfire Hurricane.”
The 29-page appendix to the Durham report, which has never been publicly released, includes details of the intelligence he reviewed, according to Fox News Digital, which first reported on the discovery.
In official parlance, “burn bags” refers to containers that hold classified documents that are meant to be destroyed after a certain period of time.
It was not immediately clear whether the documents found by Patel had yet to reach their destroy date or were preserved due to an oversight by officials.

Fox News Digital reported Tuesday that the annex includes information that foreign sources warned members of the US intelligence community that the FBI would help spread a narrative that the 2016 Trump campaign illegally colluded with the Kremlin to win the election — before the bureau launched “Crossfire Hurricane” in July 2016.
Someone was unhappy with the conspiracy--perhaps someone that felt slighted, just as Mark Felt (aka "Deep Throat") turned on Nixon after being passed over for FBI Director.
As much as I hate to say it...nothing will come of this. It will end up like the Kennedy files and the Epstein files. Even if all of the above ever saw the light of day, they would be so heavily redacted as to be useless. The biggest frustration is when "our" people are in power and promise transparency...then they do an about face and change their mind about releasing the documents. I wonder who it is that whispers in their ear and forces them to their mind?
ReplyDeleteIf this were the Epstein files, I would wholeheartedly agree. But when it comes to Obama and Hillary, there is also the matter of Trump seeking personal revenge. That fact that Big Michael seems to be laying the groundwork to divorce Obama indicates that things are worse than what we are seeing in the media.
DeleteBet this was a conscious act. Good for whoever it was that did this.
