My only question about these "burn bags" of precious documents, is that if they were that incriminating, then why weren't they burned a LONG time ago? What would be the purpose of keeping them (other than blackmail). If the objective was blackmail, just who besides a series of FBI directors etc. would be the object of said blackmail and why would they not get rid of those documents? How would one establish their provenance and a chain of custody for a court?

I just don't get this.

Maybe there was an honest person in the FBI that preserved the mother lode of paper documents on the Russia hoax and left them in a place where Patel’s people would eventually find them. Whoever it was wished to remain anonymous out of fear of repercussions from the Establishment.

No matter how smart they claim to be, first and foremost, government is incompetent.
