These documents, some from John Durham's report, suggest the FBI played a role in promoting the Trump-Russia collusion narrative early on. The materials are being reviewed for declassification and congressional investigation, potentially shedding new light on government actions during the 2016 election probe.

FBI Director Kash Patel uncovered a secret room inside FBI headquarters containing multiple "burn bags" filled with thousands of sensitive and classified documents, some related to the Trump"Russia probe known as Crossfire Hurricane. These "burn bags" are typically used to destroy classified material. Among the discovered documents was the classified annex to former special counsel John Durham's final report, which includes key intelligence shedding light on the FBI's early role in the Trump-Russia investigation. Sources claim this intelligence suggested the FBI was involved in promoting the Trump"Russia collusion narrative even before officially launching the investigation.

The discovery, previously hidden under former FBI director James Comey's tenure, was described by Patel as a trove of unseen documents and hard drives. The newly found materials are undergoing declassification coordinated by intelligence and justice officials, including CIA Director John Ratcliffe and others. Declassified documents will be reviewed by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley before public release. This effort may corroborate claims of a coordinated government plan to influence the 2016 election by targeting the Trump campaign.

Patel has handed over these materials to Congress for investigation and promises increased transparency on politically sensitive matters. The findings implicate key government figures and intelligence community actions during the 2016 election and the ensuing investigation phases.

I'm not sure how he discovered them when the door was labeled, "TOP SECRET. DO NOT ENTER."

Thing is, in their hopes of distracting from the Trump - Epstein pedophile ring, Republicans are making a big deal out of the Trump Russia collusion, which may actually end up turning around and biting them on the butt, much like the Epstein files have.

A decade really.

One has to wonder why they weren't discovered during Trump's first term.

The DNC gave us Hillary, Biden and Harris.

I'll bet there will be all sorts of convincing evidence found in there.

The first draft of the woman sketch with handwritten, signed notes from Hillary and Obama on how to make it better!

A transcript PROVING it was comey and clapper who met with the Russians in Trump tower to get dirt on Hillary!

A signed letter from Zelensky apologizing to Trump for the unfair lawfare in his first impeachment where he offers to "do whatever I can to out this hoax to rest, sir!" Oh, and swearing up and down that it was actually Vindeman on the call.

The possibilities are endless.
