Here We Go! Kash Patel Releases Massive Trove of Crossfire Hurricane Docs

The truth about the FBI's discredited Crossfire Hurricane investigation is finally coming to light. FBI Director Kash Patel has just released nearly 700 pages of previously classified documents, exposing the inner workings of one of the biggest abuses of power in FBI history.

The documents, compiled under the "Crossfire Hurricane Redacted Binder" dated April 9, 2025, were declassified following President Trump's March executive order demanding transparency on the FBI's investigation into the bogus Trump-Russia collusion narrative

The document dump includes emails, messages, interview summaries, and extensive notes about the infamous Steele dossier—the thoroughly debunked document that attempted to detail Russia's alleged interference in the 2016 election. Obviously, we now know this was all part of what President Trump has rightfully called a "total weaponization" of the system.

But what's particularly intriguing is what these documents reveal about FBI informant Stefan Halper.

Halper, a Pentagon consultant who received over $1.1 million from the FBI between 1991 and 2017, was behind one of the most egregious claims used to justify the investigation. He alleged that then-Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn had left a 2014 event alone with Russian-British academic Svetlana Lokhova while serving as DIA head.

FBI agents ultimately deemed Halper's account to be "not plausible" and "not accurate", but the bureau proceeded to investigate Flynn, kept paying Halper and continued to vouch for his veracity as a confidential human source codenamed "Mitch,"

Despite the fact that they knew he was unreliable, the FBI still treated him as a trusted source.

FBI continue using Halper as a source despite FBI agents working the Flynn case determining that he had provided them incorrect information. It is not known whether Halper knew the information was bogus at the time.

The Process Matters When Confronting the Deep State

April 12, 2025 | Sundance

Regarding the recently released Russiagate files. Again, emphasizing that process matters, let me explain how and why we are being purposefully misled, even with Trump ‘allies’ in control of various govt agencies (silos).

Using the reference of the James Wolfe storyline, let me outline how process matters and how you can tell when the process is being used to coverup corrupt activity in Washington DC.

Former Senate Intelligence Community Security Chief, James Wolfe, leaked the Carter Page FISA application to journalist Ali Watkins. We know from the DOJ indictment of James Wolfe [SEE HERE], a very specific set of evidence and key dates that was assembled against him.

James Wolfe was nailed for lying to FBI investigators about his leaks to Ali Watkins on December 15, 2017. That is the date of the second interview with Wolfe. During the third interview a few days later, Wolfe was shown the evidence against him, and he admitted his lies. However, his indictment was not unsealed until June 7, 2018.

Key Dates: Busted for guilt December 15, 2017. Indicted June 7, 2018.

♦ The evidence against Wolfe included text messages between Senate Intel Vice-Chairman Mark Warner, and the lawyer for Oleg Deripaska, an attorney named Adam Waldman. The text messages were made public on Feb 8, 2018, [SOURCE] four months before Wolfe was indicted.
♦ The evidence against Wolfe included text messages between Wolfe and journalist Ali Watkins. Ms Watkins was notified of her phone records being seized by FBI investigators on February 13, 2018, [SOURCE] again four months before Wolfe was indicted.

Why was this evidence, all of which would have been useful at trial, purposefully released by the Mueller investigation who was in charge of everything related to Russiagate at the time.

Shortly after James Wolfe was indicted, the Title-1 FISA application he leaked was then released to the public under the auspices of a FOIA request. Wolfe indicted June 7, 2018, the FISA application released publicly July 21, 2018 [SOURCE].

RIGHT QUESTION: Why was the evidence against James Wolfe being released to the public between the time the case was made (Dec ’17) and the time the indictment was unsealed (June ’18)?

Why wasn’t the evidence held until criminal trial processes began?

ANSWER: In hindsight we discover the Mueller team were in charge of the timeline because the Russiagate investigation superseded all other Main Justice outcomes and consequences.

The Mueller team were protecting the participants (Ali Watkins, Mark Warner, James Wolfe etc.), who all knew they were being investigated as a result of the Wolfe leak.

All of these players, including the media who received the FISA application from the Wolfe leak, knew they were tangentially and directly connected to the Wolfe investigation. After Wolfe made his admission (December ’17), all of the collateral players knew they were at risk.

The FBI was notifying all stakeholders of the Wolfe admission, and Mueller’s team was helping to mitigate the consequences to those stakeholders.

How?

With controlled public releases of information.

Each of the corrupt actors had weeks, some even months, to hire lawyers, obfuscate the evidence of their involvement and formulate their defenses. That’s why the information was being “released.”

The biggest single example of controlling damage and public opinion through the selective release of information was also the most brutally obvious, the July 21, 2018, release of the Carter Page FISA itself.

This was a Top-Secret Compartmented Intelligence document (TSCI). Directly related to a national security matter, and directly related to an ongoing investigation, and directly a component of the largest leak of top-secret classified information in decades.

The FISA itself was the easiest of all documents for the DOJ, FBI and National Security Apparatus to keep hidden from public view. There was no court in America who would have ordered it to be released. Quite simply, there was no reason for the DOJ to even consider releasing it; yet they did.

The Title-1 FISA application was released by Main Justice under the ridiculous justification of a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) release. Name me another TSCI document in the history of the Intelligence Community, that has ever been released under a FOIA (either before, or since); there simply isn’t another example. Yet in the rush to review it, no one ever drew attention to this brutally obvious point.

The FISA was released shortly after James Wolfe was indicted, because everyone in the background network of the James Wolfe indictment, mainly the DOJ under Mueller team control, was operating to control information adverse to their interests. The public release watered down the jaw-dropping leak itself.

Why visit this example again? Because we are seeing a repeat of this pattern in the recently released Russiagate files.

If DC can frame negative information as politically motivated, DC can then avoid the unlawful and illegal activity underneath the information. That is exactly what is happening, and that is why process is important.

If the bad actors in the silos want to remove the concern about illegal activity, they control release the information framing it as political in nature.

…”if the DOJ can claim evidence is political, it then nullifies the evidence and ends the case. This is why SD is pissed they handed this to that [willing] idiot Solomon.”…
