Deep State ‘career’ prosecutors in the Western District of Virginia are attacking the DOJ’s investigation into whether Biden’s FBI secretly destroyed classified documents in ‘burn bags’ to protect James Comey with leaks to the New York Times.
As previously reported, the DOJ is investigating whether the FBI, during Joe Biden’s presidency, secretly destroyed documents to protect James Comey and John Brennan.
James Comey served as the Director of the FBI from 2013 to May 2017, when Trump fired him.
John Brennan served as the Director of the CIA from 2013 to 2017.
According to The Times, the investigation is related to a report that revealed that Kash Patel found thousands of Russia Hoax documents in “burn bags” in a secret room at the FBI.
Over the summer, Fox News reported that FBI Director Kash Patel found thousands of Russia collusion hoax documents in “burn bags” in a secret room at the FBI.
One of the documents in the burn bags included the classified annex to the John Durham report that includes the underlying intelligence he investigated.
CIA Director John Ratcliffe recently declassified the annex to Durham’s final report and sent it to Senator Grassley, who released it to the public.
Fox News also reported that Kash Patel and his team of investigators discovered a “previously undisclosed” SCIF at the FBI headquarters.
The Times reported that senior FBI officials who worked at the headquarters are also being investigated.
In August, Trump-appointed Interim US Attorney Todd Gilbert, who was overseeing the ‘burn bags’ case in the Western District of Virginia, was forced out after he reportedly refused to remove a high-ranking prosecutor who claimed the evidence in the case was flimsy, according to The Times.

A new US Attorney appointed by Trump has now taken over the case. Now, the career prosecutors in the Western District of Virginia are leaking to the media to damage the investigation.
In a new leak to the New York Times, career prosecutors do not believe criminal charges are warranted in the DOJ’s investigation into the burn bags.
“Career prosecutors at the Justice Department do not believe criminal charges are warranted from an investigation seeking to discredit an earlier FBI inquiry into Russia’s attempt to tilt the 2016 election in President Trump’s favor, according to people familiar with the matter, The New York Times reported.
An anonymous leaker also attacked Kash Patel.
“One witness approached earlier this year was told the investigation was being conducted at the specific direction of FBI director Kash Patel,” The New York Times reported.
Prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia also leaked to the media ahead of Comey’s indictment.
