The Hidden Files: How FBI Burn Bags Became the Center
FBI “Burn Bags” Discovered
FBI Director Kash Patel revealed that “burn bags” containing thousands of classified documents from the
Russia probe were found in a hidden room at FBI headquarters.
Files included a classified annex to Special Counsel John Durham’s report,
raising questions about evidence withheld from oversight.
Escalating Controversy
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified more than 100 documents, accusing former President Obama
and his team of a “treasonous conspiracy” to frame Trump. An Obama spokesperson dismissed the claim as “ridiculous.”
Legal and Political Fallout
Attorney General Pam Bondi has authorized prosecutors to consider grand jury proceedings, possibly in South Florida.
Critics argue this risks politicizing law enforcement,
while former intelligence officials like John Brennan deny wrongdoing.
Impact on Trust
Patel insists the discovery proves systemic FBI bias,
while experts warn prosecutions would be unprecedented and difficult to prove.
The case could reshape both the Russia investigation’s legacy and public faith in U.S. intelligence.
