Note On the Brennan and Comey Investigations
Racket News ^ | July 9, 2025 | MATT TAIBBI

Posted on 07/09/2025 8:30:03 PM PDT by lasereye

One additional note on the news that the FBI has opened criminal investigations into former FBI Director James Comey and former CIA chief John Brennan. Many are speculating on social media that FBI Director Kash Patel dropped a hint when he appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience a month ago, on June 6th:

PATEL: Think about this: me, as the 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 going to find this place.”

ROGAN: Wha-a-a-t?

PATEL: Yeah. So my guys are going through that right now.

ROGAN: What’s in there?

PATEL: A lot of stuff!

Patel was indeed referring to this investigation, according to my sources, which tells us a few things. For one, the idea that the Brennan and Comey probes were opened as a PR gambit after the Jeffrey Epstein mud-bath is a non-starter. It’s not excluded that the timing of the Fox story breaking the news is germane to Epstein, but the FBI and the CIA have both been working on Russiagate for months.

The story about a room of documents and hard drives at the old FBI headquarters in the J. Edgar Hoover building is noteworthy. When Patel became Director, a problem he had was that materials from the investigation he oversaw under Devin Nunes were located at CIA headquarters. As noted before, reporters gleaned bits of the Langley material over the years, but what might have been found by karmic accident when the FBI decided to move out of the Hoover building is unknown. Could be something, could be nothing, but interesting either way. Incidentally, I’m told Brennan and Comey may not be the FBI’s only investigative targets. As depressing as the Epstein story is, there seems to be real momentum behind this matter. Only, how much?

Apparently Patel found the room. Taibbi speculates that he wouldn't have found it if they hadn't decided to relocate the FBI HQ. Hard to see how that discovery could be related to a relocation that will happen years from now.

Whatever the reason, something caused Patel to unexpectedly find the room. Taibbi sees karma at work. I would suggest it's God.

Here's a wild thought...

Did Patel discover something that caused him to suddenly abandon the Hoover Building and move the entire FBI to the USAID building instead?

This is like when the American Embassy in Moscow was abandoned because it was riddled with spy cameras and microphones.

Was Patel concerned that the Hoover Building was similarly compromised and that he needed a new secure facility to keep embedded leakers and partisan holdovers from being able to eavesdrop on discussions and plans?

It makes sense. The Hoover building has been there for years, who knows how many potential listening devices have been left there...

I think that during his four year exile, Trump focused on security.

He made Mar-A-Lago his Fortress of Solitude where he could plan his return to power safe from bugs.

Lessons learned during this operation transferred into how he is protecting his administration.

A room full of incriminating evidence left behind by the perps? Doubtful. What Brennan, Comey and Klapper have forgotten is that criminal conspiracies collapse when the techies, underlings, secretaries and others that they ignored or aggrieved come foward.

Treasonous Marxist Brennan and weak wretched Comey are the low hanging fruit.

If they cant lock these two vile reprobates up, then no one is going to Jail for anything Coup related.

Clapper, Rice, Power, Blinken, Sullivan, Nuland, Warren, Clinton and Obama should all be next. Then Bidens “Doctor” along with whoever was running the autopen.

It's the secret room alongside the luxurious executive lounge where you have to remove the candle from the holder to swivel the bookcase to expose the hidden door.

Those spy devices may be mostly brand new, put there to spy on the new people.
The deep state would have known about all the investigations into the deep state.
Now that I am thinking about it, I can guarantee it. Of course they would bug the place.

The mystery room may have been at least partly a center point for collecting all the intel from the myriad spy devices. The deep state connected to the information by a hidden secure connection to right there in their old building, in that room.

Seriously though, how did they hide the entrance?
Was it marked ‘broom closet’ or did they put something large in front of the door?
I would really like to know. They need to release photos of this secret room story.

” ...Brennan and weak wretched Comey...Clapper, Rice, Power, Blinken, Sullivan, Nuland, Warren, Clinton and Obama should all be next.”

And that list isn’t exhaustive!

I sincerely hope that someone in Patel’s and Bondi’s organization is keeping an eye on a “statute of limitations” clock.

Yada, yada, yads. This is just another gaslighting smokescreen, designed to divert our attention from the disappearance of the Epstein files.

Hey Kids!
You know what time it is?
I’ts NOBODY has been ARRESTED O’CLOCK - again!

[for those of my generation who understand the reference]

Ya gotta wonder what super high-tech undetectable bugs the FBI could have planted at Mar-a-Lago during that SWATZI raid.
