Patel found thousands of sensitive Trump–Russia probe docs inside 'burn bags' in secret room at FBI
FBI Director Kash Patel has turned over the documents to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley
 By Brooke Singman Fox News

EXCLUSIVE: FBI Director Kash Patel found a trove of sensitive documents related to the origins of the Trump–Russia probe buried in multiple "burn bags" in a secret room inside the bureau, sources familiar with the incident told Fox News Digital.

Sources told Fox News Digital that the "burn bag" system is used to destroy documents designated as classified or higher.

Sources told Fox News Digital that multiple burn bags were found and filled with thousands of documents.

Sources told Fox News Digital that one of the documents FBI officials found in a burn bag was the classified annex to former special counsel John Durham's final report, which includes the underlying intelligence he reviewed.

The declassification of the classified annex is being done in close coordination between CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Patel, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, Attorney General Pam Bondi and acting National Security Agency Director William Hartman.

The declassified annex will be transmitted to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, who ultimately will release the document to the public.

Sources exclusively briefed Fox News Digital on some of the contents of the classified annex — including that the U.S. intelligence community had credible foreign sources indicating that the FBI would play a role in spreading the alleged Trump–Russia collusion narrative — before the bureau ever launched its controversial Crossfire Hurricane probe.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
Who knows what evidence was successfully destroyed? Not just in this case, either.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Right, and how much was actually burned before they ran out of time and had to leave?

Well, it establishes the broken taboo (and laws) surrounding the destruction of evidence at the FBI. Even if destruction cannot be proven, intent can, by the documents being found in burn bags. If they were stashed by someone acting against orders to keep them safe, then that someone saw a need to do so, which implies their destruction had been ordered.

When will they be published on the interwebs for public consumption?

I'm not willing to take anyone's word for anything.
