Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche revealed to Fox News host Sean Hannity that the Department of Justice discovered documents from special counsel Jack Smith in burn bags.
“We found a room like that at DOJ, a few months ago,” Blanche told Hannity. “It’s not fair to say it was a secret room, but it’s a room that had a lot of material in it.”
“It’s not the existence of a burn bag that I think is interesting or problematic depending on which side you’re on,” he explained.
Blanche added that the burn bag “was in a place where I get the point that an honorable FBI agent might have left it there because it was not where it would normally be to be destroyed. [We] kind of stumbled on it, but it looked almost intentional.”
In April, Former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino told Hannity that he discovered a “motherload” of documents connected to the “Russiagate” investigation.
“That was basically the keys to the kingdom on Crossfire. And the document was so sensitive, we were not even to carry it outside of the office,” Bongino said. “I’m reading this document and I’m like, ‘I can’t believe this happened in the United States.’ It wasn’t just that it happened in the United States, it was that so many people knew about it.”
Last year, now-outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released a report shredding the narrative that Russian President Vladimir Putin wanted to help President Donald Trump win in 2016. The Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) “did not cite any report where Putin directly indicated helping Trump win was the objective,” the report notes. “That judgment rests on a questionable interpretation of this one unclear fragment of a sentence.”
