2 Million FBI Records Found in a Hidden Room in Burn Bags
Independent Sentinel ^ | 4-19-26 | M Dowling

Up to 2 million FBI records were found in a secret room at the FBI. Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch uncovered the information. The records date back to the Comey era, and most are anti-Trump records in burn bags. Tom Fitton hasn’t gotten the records despite a lawsuit, but he did get some general information.

records.

Having FBI records in burn bags is very unusual, and no one has said who put them there or why they weren’t burned. This should be criminally investigated. Pam Bondi wasted a year. It seems that agencies can’t investigate themselves.

They should be done with cataloging them and marking everything out with a big black magic marker in about 2075

Democrats commit huge amounts of crime.

Republicans investigate but refuse to prosecute.

This enables to Democrats to learn from their mistakes and not duplicate those same mistakes the next time they return to power.

Rinse and repeat.

“Find the file labeled ‘Fang Fang’ and release it to the public.”

Why would they investigate her? She’s only a Chinese national with bedroom access to one of the highest ranking persons in the US government.

Oh, look over there! It’s a guy with a MAGA sticker on the back of his F150, time to send half the agency his way and find out how many black men he’s already terrorized.

Here’s what needs to be done. Since it is obvious the FBI is incapable of investigating itself a truly independent review board needs to be constituted. Not every state has licensing for private investigators. For those states that do, have the governor appoint one member of the state licensing board to a special review panel. All appointees receive a through background check and provided with a limited security clearance to review the docs. If a Governor appoints somebody who can’t pass a background check, the seat is forfeited. This should provide a robust list of both Dem and Repub appointees, all ostensibly professional investigators with professional reputations that hinge on objectivity. Have this panel review the burn bag docs and publish the findings. Any redactions for, “national security” reasons need to be authorized by Tulsi Gabbard.

Regarding these occasional finds in burn bags stored in out of the way rooms: I have figured for a while that instead of the contents being properly processed for destruction, someone just quietly stashed them knowing they’d be found sooner or later - and hoping the culture at the FBI had tilted away from criminal intent & coverup.

Looks like the gamble may pay off.

How would you know there’s good info in them? The FBI just said it was going to take them a year to get through them.

Because shortly after they discovered the bags and began to go through them, both Patel and Bongino SAID so. This isn’t new. Happened last year.

“According to reports in late July 2025, Kash Patel, acting as FBI Director, alleged that he discovered a hidden room at FBI headquarters containing ‘burn bags’ filled with thousands of documents and computer hard drives.”

Jul 31, 2025 10:46 am IST

“Kash Patel Finds Hidden Trove Of Trump-Russia Probe Documents At FBI Office. This secret appendix, never made public before, contains intelligence from foreign sources warning that the FBI might help spread a false story about Trump colluding with Russia. A classified document is awaited for prove the idea of a coordinated plan to connect Trump to Russia

“FBI Director Kash Patel found burn bags with classified documents on Crossfire Hurricane at FBI HQ. A 29-page classified annex to Durham’s 2023 report was discovered in a hidden room at the FBI The annex warns FBI might have spread a false Trump-Russia collusion story before July 2016

“FBI Director Kash Patel has discovered multiple “burn bags” filled with thousands of classified documents linked to the bureau’s Trump-Russia probe, known internally as ‘Crossfire Hurricane’. The bags, used to destroy sensitive documents, were found in a hidden room inside FBI headquarters in Washington, DC.

“That report looked into how and why the FBI started its 2016 investigation into possible links between Donald Trump’s campaign and Russia. “

As an aside, I just heard on WMAL that Joe DeGenova is going to be sworn in as Counsel to the President to oversee the Democratic engineered Trump coup conspiracy Southern Florida prosecution. He’s going down to, I think Fort Jackson, to kick ass in the prosecution. This is a big deal because things will start to happen when he grabs ahold of the recalcitrant, delay inspired, prosecutors.

Sorry, but I have to disagree...
The agents report to a senior agent.
That agent approves of and supports the type of behavior mentioned here.

The senior agent reports to a special agent.
That agent approves of and supports the type of behavior mentioned here.

The special agent reports to a field office.
The agent in charge of the field office approves of and supports the type of behavior mentioned here.

The officer in charge of the field office reports to a deputy director.
The deputy director supports and approves of the type of behavior mentioned here.

The deputy director reports to the director, usually a political appointee.
The director supports and approves of the type of behavior mentioned here.

The director is appointed by an elected official, the President.
The president supports and approves of the type of behavior mentioned here.

The president is overseen by the congress, they are elected officials.
They support and approve of the type of behavior mentioned here.

The elected officials have not made any changes.
This means that they approve.

So, who is ultimately responsibe for the piss poor behavior of out government agencies?

WE THE VOTERS ARE THE ONES RESPONSIBLE!!!
How do we fix it?
STOP ELECTING THE OFFICIALS THAT APPROVE OF THIS!!
They consist of both democommies and bush league chamber of commerce worshiping republiCAN’Ts.

Just say no.
