It has taken nearly a decade, but we may be just beginning to find out the immense scope and breadth of what amounts to a years-long soft coup being carried out by members of the Obama administration and other "deep state" players against President Donald Trump throughout much of his first term in office. Democrats, the same people who accused President Donald Trump of colluding with Russia for literally years, are now saying, "Move on." However, new information is emerging almost daily, and we may be gaining a much clearer picture of what transpired.
In June, FBI Director Kash Patel appeared on Joe Rogan's podcast and discussed a "secret room" that contained documents and computer hard drives, which he claimed "no one had ever seen or heard of." This has been described as a concealed sensitive compartmented information facility (SCIF).
On Wednesday, it was reported that in that room, Patel also found what were described as "burn bags" full of sensitive documents related to the Trump-Russia investigation. Burn bags are used to destroy documents that are designated as classified or higher. Sources claim the bags contained thousands of documents.

One of the documents in question that was found is the classified annex to a final report from special counsel John Durham. Declassification of the annex is being done by a team of intelligence and law enforcement officials, including Patel, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and acting National Security Agency Director William Hartman. Once this team is finished, the document will be handed over to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, who will then make it public.
Some of the information contained in the classified annex reportedly includes the fact that the U.S. intelligence community had what it called "credible foreign sources," indicating that the FBI would become a key player in spreading the supposed Trump-Russia collusion story before the "Crossfire Hurricane" probe was ever launched. The annex foretold the FBI's subsequent actions, "with alarming specificity." Fox News Digital reports that sources with knowledge of the annex stated,
"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. Mere days after this intelligence was collected, the FBI launched Crossfire Hurricane. It’s really hard to see how Brennan, Clapper and Comey are going to be able to explain this away."
It is unknown what other information was found in the documents. Patel and his team are working through them and will turn over any pertinent documents to Grassley.
During his appearance with Rogan, Patel summed up exactly what was going on at James Comey's FBI, saying:
"Just think about this. Me, as director of the FBI, the former 'Russiagate guy,' when I first got to the bureau, found a room that Comey and others hid from the world in the Hoover Building, full of documents and computer hard drives that no one had ever seen or heard of. Locked the key and hid access and just said, 'No one's ever gonna find this place.'"
The list of questions the secret stash room brings up is almost endless. Did Comey and others really think no one was ever going to find it, or was it sloppiness, arrogance, or a combination of both? Who designated the documents to be burned? Did John Brennan or James Clapper tell Comey to burn them, or did Comey take it on himself to designate the documents to be burned? Why were they designated to be burned — and then why weren't they burned? Are they the only copies? Or are there other copies and/or digitized versions of them?

And perhaps the biggest question of all: Does this mean those who designated the documents for burning are "busted?" A recent RedState Guest Editorial shed some light on if or when some consequences might befall those involved. Could the same statute, 18 US Code, Chapter 115, at Section 2384, that was used for January 6 defendants, be used on anyone involved here? It is early in the investigation, a lot of work remains to be done, and a lot can happen.
But whatever happens, if all of this has been found by Kash Patel and his team, one wonders what else James Comey (and others) may have hidden.
