The FBI found RussiaGate documents ready to be burned in a secret room

In a secret room at FBI headquarters, agency officials found a batch of confidential documents buried inside "burn bags", which are traditionally used to destroy classified material.

FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed that the files are related to the investigation that the agency is currently conducting into RussiaGate, the Obama administration's intelligence operation that sought to overthrow Trump by accusing him of conspiring with Russia in 2016.

As part of this investigation, the FBI has opened investigations into Obama-era officials who played an active role in this Democratic operation, such as former FBI Director James Comey and former CIA Director John Brennan.

Attempts were made to destroy the Durham investigation documents

According to Fox News, among the thousands of documents discovered today was the confidential annex to Special Counsel John Durham's final report, who investigated this operation orchestrated by Obama and Hillary Clinton.

This classified annex contains evidence from "credible foreign sources" indicating that the FBI may have played a role in spreading this conspiracy and actively collaborated with Clinton's campaign and the Obama administration to remove Trump from power.

"Ultimately, the release of the classified annex will lend more credibility to the claim that there was a coordinated plan within the United States government to help Clinton's campaign generate controversy linking Trump to Russia", a source told the outlet.

The evidence points to Obama

As previously reported, CIA Director John Ratcliffe announced last Sunday that the agency he leads is in the process of declassifying the Durham annex.

For Tulsi Gabbard, current Director of Intelligence and one of the officials who also declassified documents on RussiaGate, all the evidence points to former President Barack Obama as "the mastermind behind the fabrication of this intelligence assessment."

For this reason, President Trump accused Obama of committing "criminal acts" over the Russiagate scandal, and added that the former president, along with other Democrats, should face "serious consequences."

Nevertheless, Trump stated earlier this week that last year's Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity would likely protect Obama from prosecution, though not Democratic officials who collaborated with the former president—such as Comey or Brennan—who are currently under investigation.
