I guess they didn't burn these particular documents, though they had them at the ready to be destroyed.
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.
Oh -- I guess the disclosures mentioned earlier, about a George Soros stooge coordinating with a Hillary Clinton operative to gin up the RussiaGate hoax, came from one of these burn bags.
...
Sources exclusively briefed Fox News Digital on some of the contents of the classified annex -- including that the U.S. intelligence community had credible foreign sources indicating that the FBI would play a role in spreading the alleged Trump--Russia collusion narrative -- before the bureau ever launched its controversial Crossfire Hurricane probe.
A source familiar with the contents of the classified annex told Fox News Digital that while it may not have been exactly clear in the moment what the intelligence collection meant, with the benefit of hindsight, it predicted the FBI's next move "with alarming specificity."
"Ultimately, the release of the classified annex will lend more credibility to the assertion that there was a coordinated plan inside the U.S. government to help the Clinton campaign stir up controversy connecting Trump to Russia," the source, who was granted anonymity to discuss sensitive intelligence matters that have not yet been made public, told Fox News Digital.
Dan Bongino says there is so much corruption he can't barely keep it together.
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino posted a lengthy message on his official X account in which he vowed to bring the American people "the truth" after saying that he had learned things that "shocked" him.
"During my tenure here as the Deputy Director of the FBI, I have repeatedly relayed to you that things are happening that might not be immediately visible, but they are happening," Bongino wrote.
"What I have learned in the course of our properly predicated and necessary investigations into these aforementioned matters, has shocked me down to my core. We cannot run a Republic like this. I'll never be the same after learning what I've learned."
It is unclear what exactly Bongino was referring to in his post.

During my tenure here as the Deputy Director of the FBI, I have repeatedly relayed to you that things are happening that might not be immediately visible, but they are happening.
The Director and I are committed to stamping out public corruption and the political weaponization of both law enforcement and intelligence operations. It is a priority for us. But what I have learned in the course of our properly predicated and necessary investigations into these aforementioned matters, has shocked me down to my core. We cannot run a Republic like this. I'll never be the same after learning what I've learned.
We are going to conduct these righteous and proper investigations by the book and in accordance with the law. We are going to get the answers WE ALL DESERVE. As with any investigation, I cannot predict where it will land, but I can promise you an honest and dignified effort at truth. Not "my truth," or "your truth," but THE TRUTH.
God bless America, and all those who defend Her.
Respectfully,
Dan
