This is more than slightly interesting.
According to a Fox News release, FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino found multiple files related to the FBI activity in the Trump-Russia collusion hoax, which included the classified annex to the John Durham investigation, inside burn bags in a secret room at the FBI building in Washington, DC.
The discovered Durham annex is now being declassified by the CIA and others and transferred to Senator Chuck Grassley’s staff who will release it to the public momentarily. WATCH the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) response to these revelations, Chairman Tom Cotton, the guardian of the Intelligence Community, will likely demand special counsels be triggered in order to create the “ongoing investigation” defensive shield needed for his benefactors.
That’s how the silo system in DC rolls.
DC 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 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. (read more)
There is a lot of interest in the “credible foreign source” who told the CIA about the FBI operation to work closely with Hillary Clinton to exonerate herself and frame candidate Donald Trump.
Undead FOIA had a research report in March of this year that might answer the question.

[…] On August 3, 2016, then CIA Director John Brennan briefed President Obama, then Vice President Joe Biden, Attorney General Loretta Lynch, FBI Director James Comey and other senior officials on highly classified memorandums authored by Dutch intelligence with details of Clinton’s alleged plans.
The next day, Brennan called Alexander Bortnikov, the head of Russia’s FSB intelligence network. Brennan would tell members of the House Intelligence Committee in 2017 that he called Bortnikov to warn Russia to stop interfering in America’s elections.
That call apparently led to an immediate shift in Cozy Bear, cutting off the Dutch’s access and compromised friendly assets working for Western Intelligence. The call also had the effect of stopping additional memorandums that would have shed light on Clinton’s plans. (MORE)
It looks like Brennan called Russian FSB in order to compromise the Dutch source and stop the information from coming.
I remember this quote but I recall it was attributed to HRC when she blew a fit following Matt Lauer asking her some tough questions on her show. Tough, in comparison to the softballs she was used to getting. I read she said this backstage following the interview. I never knew it was from her email to D. Brazile.
I also recall she threw something at Brazil’s head.
Felonia Von Pantsuit did call Brazile a “dumb buffalo”.
Commie Brennan needs a Fed prison worse then any of them. He should be sentenced to a 8x8ft cell with Hillary and the kenyan. Fate worse then death right there
More appropriate…
It always amazes me that they actually keep such copious notes of their various criminal schemes.
Such arrogance.
I think a wannabe whistleblower dumped them hoping they would be found someday…
BTW, this again makes plain that Durham was running a cover-up operation, just like Mueller before him, plus AG’s Lynch (D) and Barr (R).
“I’m not sure they [CIA] put it out—I think the Democrats are putting it out.”
This is amazing. Trump said on Dec 11, 2016 exactly what Tulsi Gabbard has now confirmed. It wasn’t the CIA that said Russia helped Trump win, it was the Democrats (Brennan overruling CIA analysts).
As long as MORE is being revealed, isn’t it about time that we start talking about the murder of SETH RICH and the story of HIS laptop? THIS IS WAY MORE IMPORTANT THAN FREAKIN’ EPSTEIN, EPSTEIN, EPSTEIN.
SETH WAS MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD IN DC. Nobody will deny that fact.
If you try to get info from Google or Grok, it’s all BS claims of “conspiracy theories” like the entry below:
The Seth Rich laptop was a focal point of conspiracy theories surrounding the death of DNC staffer Seth Rich. These theories, particularly those promoted by Fox News and others, falsely claimed that Rich’s laptop contained evidence of him providing DNC emails to WikiLeaks and that his murder was connected to this leak.
It’s long past time for the Trump Administration to look into this because it’s all connected to the REAL CONSPIRACIES AND COUP.
Sounds like there may have been a ‘good guy’ at the FBI stashing the docs so they could be found. I will not rule it out.
Or lazy, sometimes lazy works just as well as good.
By lazy, knowing they were to be burnt, someone stashed them there because they hadn’t gotten them to the truck/transfer vehicle to the burn site in time. Then forgot, or it would be too much to explain why the next batch had extra bags.
You just can’t burn papers in a fire place they fly all over.
More evidence ? Nothing still will happen
This whole thing sounds just way too convenient and unlikely. I fear it’s a setup for something, finding what they want to be found or using this finding to say a Special Counsel is now warranted as though it’s a good thing. I haven’t much faith left but would be elated to be proven wrong.
Note: burn bag suggests paper medium (though it could be a disk). Paper copies are usually shredded, per specs, prior to being placed in burn bag. There are specific job titles and covering instructions that outline requirements.
Working copies of classified information have to be logged. Digital copies are backed up. In and of itself, a burn bag is not out of line. The timing on this, however, does raise eyebrows. Burn bag with material generated years ago suddenly appears?
It does put HRC’s email server in a new light if the annex references emails. As it also places Comey’s always dubious (FALSE) claim about “intent” in a new light.
Someone wanted this material discovered…IMO.
Or maybe someone printed out files that they were told to delete/erase before doing that. So there were things years old that were recently reprinted.
