FBI Director Kash Patel just dropped a bombshell that’s shaking the foundations of the so-called “Russia hoax” narrative.
Breitbart reported that Patel has uncovered a stash of “burn bags” stuffed with thousands of classified documents tied to the Trump-Russia investigation, including the elusive classified annex to John Durham’s final report, hidden away at FBI headquarters.
Let’s rewind to the early days of Donald Trump’s first term, when the Trump-Russia collusion story dominated headlines and fueled endless speculation.
The narrative, pushed hard by Democrats through Trump's first term, painted Trump’s campaign as a Kremlin puppet show. Yet, as time passed, cracks in that story began to show.
Back in 2017 and 2018, Patel, then a senior counsel for the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, was already sounding the alarm.
He argued that the Steele Dossier—central to the FBI’s justification for surveilling Trump’s campaign—was nothing but fabricated intel, bankrolled by Trump’s political opponent.
“I proved the Steele Dossier was fictitious intelligence,” Patel declared, pointing to its use by rogue FBI officials to mislead a federal judge. And yet, the mainstream press dismissed him as untrustworthy. Funny how the tables turn when the truth starts spilling out of hidden bags.
Fast forward to 2019, when then-Attorney General William Barr launched the Durham probe to scrutinize the FBI’s handling of the Trump-Russia investigation. Durham’s mission was clear: dig into whether the FBI overstepped or mishandled intelligence to target Trump’s campaign. The findings would later prove damning.
In 2023, Durham’s final report landed with a thud, confirming what many conservatives had long suspected.
The FBI leaned on unverified intel and lacked a solid foundation to launch a full-blown investigation into Trump’s campaign. It was a stunning rebuke of the agency’s conduct.
Now, Patel’s discovery of these “burn bags” adds fuel to the fire, revealing documents that include the classified annex to Durham’s report.
These papers, tucked away at FBI headquarters, seem to point to a deliberate effort to obscure the full scope of what went wrong. Why hide the truth unless there’s something to fear?
Documents released recently by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence further bolster the claim that this entire saga was a manufactured hit job.
They suggest that figures in the Obama administration, alongside Hillary Clinton, politicized intelligence to craft the “Russia hoax,” as Tulsi Gabbard put it. That’s a charge that demands answers, not silence.
Patel isn’t stopping at discovery—he’s pushing for transparency. Top intelligence officials are currently working to declassify the Durham annex, with plans to send the materials to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa for public release. Grassley, a longtime seeker of clarity on Durham’s findings, is poised to shine a light on these revelations.
Speaking of light, Patel took to X to vent his frustration with the press, saying, “The media called me a liar.” He’s got a point—legacy outlets have barely touched this story, ignoring a mountain of documents that challenge their past reporting. If this isn’t a case of selective amnesia, what is?
“Now I’m the FBI Director,” Patel continued, noting how he’s using his position to unearth and declassify these hidden files. It’s a bold move, one that flips the script on a media establishment quick to slap labels but slow to admit error. Maybe it’s time they revisit their Pulitzer-worthy “facts.”
These discoveries aren’t isolated—they’re part of a broader pattern of document releases hinting at a coordinated effort to sabotage Trump’s first term.
From the Steele Dossier to the FBI’s shaky probe, the evidence keeps piling up that political agendas trumped impartial justice. It’s a bitter pill for those who value trust in our institutions.
Patel’s latest jab at the press stings with a smirk: “Wouldn’t want to deprive the fake news of more bogus Pulitzers.” It’s a polite but pointed reminder that accountability cuts both ways—government and media alike must face the music when the facts don’t align with the narrative.
