Deep State ‘career’ prosecutors in the Western District of Virginia are attacking the DOJ’s investigation into whether Biden’s FBI secretly destroyed classified documents in ‘burn bags’ to protect James Comey with leaks to the New York Times.
As previously reported, the DOJ is investigating whether the FBI, during Joe Biden’s presidency, secretly destroyed documents to protect James Comey and John Brennan.
James Comey served as the Director of the FBI from 2013 to May 2017, when Trump fired him.
John Brennan served as the Director of the CIA from 2013 to 2017.
According to The Times, the investigation is related to a report that revealed that Kash Patel found thousands of Russia Hoax documents in “burn bags” in a secret room at the FBI.
Over the summer, Fox News reported that FBI Director Kash Patel found thousands of Russia collusion hoax documents in “burn bags” in a secret room at the FBI.
One of the documents in the burn bags included the classified annex to the John Durham report that includes the underlying intelligence he investigated.
CIA Director John Ratcliffe recently declassified the annex to Durham’s final report and sent it to Senator Grassley, who released it to the public.
Fox News also reported that Kash Patel and his team of investigators discovered a “previously undisclosed” SCIF at the FBI headquarters.
The Times reported that senior FBI officials who worked at the headquarters are also being investigated.
In August, Trump-appointed Interim US Attorney Todd Gilbert, who was overseeing the ‘burn bags’ case in the Western District of Virginia, was forced out after he reportedly refused to remove a high-ranking prosecutor who claimed the evidence in the case was flimsy, according to The Times.
Todd Gilbert
A new US Attorney appointed by Trump has now taken over the case. Now, the career prosecutors in the Western District of Virginia are leaking to the media to damage the investigation.
In a new leak to the New York Times, career prosecutors do not believe criminal charges are warranted in the DOJ’s investigation into the burn bags.
“Career prosecutors at the Justice Department do not believe criminal charges are warranted from an investigation seeking to discredit an earlier FBI inquiry into Russia’s attempt to tilt the 2016 election in President Trump’s favor, according to people familiar with the matter, The New York Times reported.
An anonymous leaker also attacked Kash Patel.
“One witness approached earlier this year was told the investigation was being conducted at the specific direction of FBI director Kash Patel,” The New York Times reported.
Prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia also leaked to the media ahead of Comey’s indictment.
The question that comes to mind is:
Why are there still “deep state career prosecutors” ?
It’s more difficult to fire a Civil Service employee, dang near impossible unless a crime was comitted.
Thanks to Obama.................
Because they've only recently crawled out from their hiding places?
Just a thought.
sounds like they’re trying to interfere with the investigation...
Because they’ve only recently crawled out from their hiding places?

Yes - smoking them out.
With regard to removal, since there’s the shutdown, why not designate them as non-essential and eliminate their jobs?
Probably are trying to save their own worthless hides.................
Remember all the inside Federal Government leaks about the FBI illegally spying on candidate Trump and members of his campaign in 2015?
Their “careers” will soon be over.
“Career prosecutors at the Justice Department do not believe criminal charges are warranted...”
Well, there are still career prosecutors of that stripe at the Justic Department due to the stupidity/dereliction of Pam Bondi.

Sounds like the house needs to be cleaned.
Nope.
OBAMA.
He converted many government political appointee jobs to Civil Service to make it damn near impossible to fire these people because of Civil Service protections. This case is exactly why he did this, to protect their, Obama, Hillary and Biden’s asses.............
Don’t count on it..................
“One witness approached earlier this year was told the investigation was being conducted at the specific direction of FBI director Kash Patel”
well, that IS the job of the boss, you know, to order the priorities of the underlings ... Kash seems to want the FBI to go after criminals and crooks instead of sniffing the underwear drawers of former first ladies ...
See the “rare” Jack Smith interview with Andrew Weissman, as reported by NBC reporter Gumbach to show the MO of deep state -media cooperation/ collusion/ corruption. On background, only information supportive of self-serving statements of principal allowed; selective exclusion of current events contrary to the narrative; selective inclusion of supposed pejorative info about other points of view “Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee,” even when directly contradictory to the purported thesis that the independence of public officials and the judiciary is under attack.
“14 members of the Mafia, all high-ranking, have confirmed they are involved in a charitable organization that provides young Italian-Americans with jobs. They deny any indication of wrongdoing and reject any possibility an investigation into their activities is warranted!”
Fortunately, these people can be reassigned to border security and deportation work.
Can’t fire them? Reassign them to East Nowhere, Nebraska.
The Trump administration says that civil service protection does not apply to DOJ employees.
