DOJ Investigating Whether FBI Under Joe Biden Secretly Destroyed Damaging Classified Documents to Protect Comey and Brennan

The DOJ is investigating whether the FBI during Joe Biden’s presidency secretly destroyed documents to protect James Comey and John Brennan, according to a leak to The New York Times.

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.

Last month, 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.

OUTRAGEOUS: DOJ Continues to Stall and Prevent Release of Seth Rich Records

What is really going on?  Why is the DOJ still preventing the release of Seth Rich documents requested for nearly a decade?

It is believed that Seth Rich is a pivotal key to the Russia Collusion coup attempt of the first Trump Administration.

The Deep State DOJ and FBI have gone through extreme efforts to cover-up any information they have on Seth Rich.  Rich is who many believe transferred DNC emails to WikiLeaks during the 2016 election.  He was a Bernie fan who worked in the DNC at that time.  He was reportedly upset with what the DNC was doing to Bernie.  On July 10, 2016, Rich was found shot in the back due to what law enforcement labeled a burglary, and yet his wallet, phone, and watch were left on his person.  This is after WikiLeaks began dropping damaging DNC emails that showed the inner-workings of the Hillary campaign.

It is believed that Seth Rich forwarded those Podesta emails to WikiLeaks.  We all know now without a doubt that it is a lie to claim that the Russians were involved in the transfer of these emails.  

Hillary wanted to deflect from her email scandal and what was in her emails.  She also wanted to punish whoever sent those emails to WikiLeaks.  This is why many believe Seth Rich was murdered.

Attorney Ty Clevenger for years has doggedly gone after information held by the Deep State FBI and DOJ that they refuse to release related to Seth Rich’s murder.  It is the law that documents related to Seth Rich be released per Clevenger’s requests but the Deep State DOJ keeps hiding these documents from the public.

Clevenger previously shared a potential reason why the Deep State won’t provide requested documents from the Seth Rich case.

DOJ during Trump’s first term stymied, squashed probes on Comey, Clinton, Schiff and Hunter Biden

The Justice Department, FBI, and IRS during the first Trump administration slow-walked, declined to aggressively pursue, or squashed investigations into potential criminal behavior by James Comey, Hillary Clinton and her Clinton Foundation, now Sen. Adam Schiff, Hunter Biden, and other politically-sensitive figures.

A host of declassifications published by Just the News in recent weeks have revealed new details about these investigations by the DOJ, FBI, and IRS — including previously unknown details about how many of these inquiries were delayed or ground to a halt during President Donald Trump’s first term in office.

Newly-declassified records detail evidence that since-fired FBI Director Comey approved leaking classified information despite his denials to the contrary, including using his lieutenants and friends to leak to the media. 

New allegations about how then-Rep. and now-Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., may have leaked classified information to hurt Trump as well also surfaced, as well as new information on how inquiries into the Clinton Foundation were shut down. The Trump DOJ declined to pursue prosecutions in any of these matters.

The IRS investigation into now-former President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, was also first slow-walked by the DOJ during the first Trump administration, according to whistleblowers. And special counsel John Durham — appointed by then-Attorney General William Barr — did not pursue prosecutions against members of the intelligence community or FBI (except for Kevin Clinesmith), despite the politicized nature of the Trump-Russia investigation.

There is some emerging evidence that the current Justice Department and FBI under Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel will be more aggressive this time around. FBI agents early on Friday raided the suburban Maryland home of former National Security Advisor John Bolton as part of an investigation into a national security matter.

Patel seemingly hinted at the action on his X social media account, writing that “NO ONE is above the law… @FBI agents on mission.”

Ghislaine Maxwell Says She Does NOT Believe Epstein Committed Suicide in DOJ Interview

In newly released transcripts from Ghislaine Maxwell’s interview with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, Ghislaine Maxwell was revealed to not believe the narrative that Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide.

Still, she stated that she doesn’t believe somebody “murdered to keep him quiet or because he had information on rich and powerful people.”

“I also think it’s ludicrous, because… they would’ve had of opportunity when he wasn’t in jail,” She said. “And if they were worried about blackmail or anything from him, he would’ve been a very easy target.”

However, when asked, “if you don’t believe that there’s any truth to the allegations of blackmail or that he had kind of a list, or that he had reasons to have people hate him, why would somebody kill him in prison?” Maxwell initially avoided the question. “In prison, where I am, they will kill you or they will pay — somebody can pay a prisoner to kill you for $25 worth of commissary. That’s about the going rate for a hit with a lock today,” she said.

She later stated, “of course it’s possible” that somebody outside of the prison ordered his murder, “but I don’t know of any reason why.”

The official government line is that Epstein killed himself in a facility known for its stringent security measures, while the guards failed to do mandatory checks on Epstein. The guards were also asleep, falsified records to cover their negligence, and the cameras were reportedly not working.

The New York City medical examiner concluded that Epstein died by suicide via hanging. As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, however, Dr. Michael Baden, a renowned forensic pathologist hired by Epstein’s family, observed the autopsy and noted injuries more consistent with homicidal strangulation, including fractures of the hyoid bone and thyroid cartilage. Patel also dismissed this evidence, saying he’d never seen it!

‘WTF are you guys doing?’ DOJ exposes ‘black and white evidence’ that Biden admin knew autopenned pardons were legally flawed

The Oversight Project obtained damning internal emails this week from the Justice Department revealing a high-level understanding in the Biden administration that the autopenned commutations issued on Jan. 17 in the former president’s name were legally flawed.

In addition to showcasing former Associate Deputy Attorney General Bradley Weinsheimer’s legal concerns, the emails provided by U.S. Pardon Attorney Ed Martin’s office reveal that the Biden administration apparently misled the nation about the violent criminal nature of the individuals who received commutations.

Mike Howell, president of the Oversight Project, told Blaze News, “This represents the first written black and white evidence of fundamental disagreement in the Biden camp as it relates to the pardon strategy writ large.”

“Obviously, this is particularized to the warrants for the commutations of people they never should have let out of jail — but it’s the senior-most career lawyer in the DOJ, like [Merrick] Garland’s top guy, basically saying, ‘WTF are you guys doing? This is illegal,'” said Howell.

Trump Calls on Biden-Appointed Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook to Resign After FHFA Director Pulte Sends Criminal Referral to DOJ for Mortgage Fraud

President Trump called on Biden-appointed Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook to resign on Wednesday after  the head of the U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency, Bill Pulte, criminally referred her to the Justice Department for mortgage fraud.

According to Pulte’s criminal referral, Lisa Cook committed mortgage fraud by lying on her mortgage application and falsifying bank statements when she designated her out-of-state Atlanta condo as her “primary residence”—just two weeks after taking a loan on her Michigan home, which she also claimed as her “primary residence.”

By claiming “primary residence” on her out-of-state condo, Lisa Cook received more favorable loan terms and a lower interest rate.

On June 18, 2021, Cook acquired a loan on a property in Ann Arbor, Michigan. On the mortgage agreement, Cook represented to “use the Property as Borrower’s principal residence within 60 days after the execution of her agreement, Pulte said.

On July 2, 2021, just two weeks later, Lisa Cook also purchased a condo in Atlanta and entered a 30-year mortgage agreement and affirmed the property would serve as her primary residence within 60 days of the execution of the mortgage and would serve as her primary residence for a full year, Pulte’s referral said.

According to Pulte, while Cook affirmed her Atlanta property would serve as her primary residence, online records indicate that the property was listed for rent in September 2022.

“While the property was listed for rent in 2022, a review of Ms. Cook’s federal government financial disclosures for calendar years 2022 and 2023 indicate that she has not disclosed any rental income tied to this address,” Pulte wrote in his criminal referral.

This is textbook occupancy fraud.

Jeanine Pirro Launches DOJ Investigation Into Whether DC Has Been Faking Crime Data

Four weeks after a DC police commander was suspended amid accusations that he manipulated crime statistics, the Department of Justice has launched a wide-ranging investigation into whether the department has been faking data to make crime rates lower, the Washington Post reports, citing two senior law enforcement officials.

The investigation is run out of DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s office following the accusation lodged against Metro PD commander Michael Pulliam, who was put on leave in May after the department began investigating whether he altered crime data. Pullman has denied the allegations. 

Pulliam’s paid administrative leave came a week after he filed an equal employment opportunity complaint against an assistant chief over accusations that the department deliberately falsified crime data. The Police union, meanwhile, claims police supervisors in the department manipulate crime data to make it appear violent crime has fallen considerably compared to last year.

The DOJ investigation, however, will go much further – and will include other police and city officials who may have also fabricated or altered crime data. 

“D. C. gave Fake Crime numbers to create a false illusion of safety,” President Trump wrote on Truth Social Monday night.

House Oversight Committee to Make Epstein Files Public After Issuing Subpoena to DOJ

The House Oversight Committee will release some documents pertaining to the Jeffrey Epstein case later this week, after it issued a subpoena to the Department of Justice (DOJ) on August 5.

“The committee expects to receive the documents later this week after issuing a subpoena in August to the department for records related to Epstein,” CBS News noted.

The subpoena follows the Justice Department declaring in an internal review released in July that convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein had no “client list,” adding that investigators discovered no evidence of him blackmailing high-profile elites.

A spokesperson for the House Oversight Committee said that files will be released after reviews and redactions are made.

“The Committee intends to make the records public after thorough review to ensure all victims’ identification and child sexual abuse material are redacted,” the spokesperson said in a statement. “The Committee will also consult with the DOJ to ensure any documents released do not negatively impact ongoing criminal cases and investigations.”

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said on Monday that the Department of Justice has been cooperating with the subpoena.

Newly Released Emails Reveal Joe Biden’s Own DOJ Red-Flagged Thousands of Last-Minute Autopen Pardons

Newly released emails released by DOJ official Ed Martin reveal Joe Biden’s own Justice Department red-flagged the thousands of last-minute autopen pardons.

Earlier this year it was revealed Ed Martin was probing Joe Biden’s pardons amid the growing autopen scandal.

The Oversight Project broke the story about the Biden autopen scandal wide open after they discovered thousands of acts of clemency and executive actions were signed with an autopen rather than a wet signature.

There was a second frequently used autopen signature for Joe Biden’s pardons and commutations.

Autopen A and Autopen B have slight differences in the signatures.

Biden officials such as Neera Tanden, Jeff Zeints, Stephanie Feldman and others were involved in the autopen scandal.

The New York Times recently reviewed some of the emails that the National Archives handed over to the Trump DOJ as part of their investigation into the autopen scandal.

The emails revealed that Biden’s staffers made decisions to sign the pardons with the autopen without directly hearing the orders from Joe Biden.

It was revealed that Joe Biden did not approve of each name for the pardons – AND after changes were made about the specific inmates, Biden did NOT sign off on the revised list. Rather, his aides just ran the final version through the autopen without Biden’s approval.

Now this…

Biden’s own DOJ warned that the last-minute autopen pardons of cop killers and child murderers was legally flawed.

FBI, DOJ, Caught Lying about Oklahoma City Bombing Footage, Pics of Security Cameras on Murrah Building Highlight 30 Years of Courtroom Lies

Federal officials, in public and in federal courtrooms, are lying about the existence of video footage from the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing.

Utah Attorney Jesse Trentadue believes his brother was interrogated and tortured to death in August 1995 because federal authorities mistakenly thought he was “John Doe #2” in the Oklahoma City Bombing. For the past 30 years, Trentadue has filed 7 major federal FOIA lawsuits seeking documents and evidence, and has already obtained 2 million documents. Trentadue doggedly pursues the many lies federal authorities have told over the years about the bombing, and the illegal federal program “PATCON” that he believes was involved in his brother’s murder, and which is still ongoing today.

One of the critical lies, which still informs the mainstream narratives and dominates most media coverage of the case, is that there was no second bomber alongside Timothy McVeigh that day. McVeigh was convicted of the bombing and executed on June 11, 2001.

Even though multiple eyewitnesses noticed two men exiting the Ryder truck transporting the bomb to the Alfred P. Murrah building that day, the narrative from federal officials is firm that McVeigh acted alone while in Oklahoma City.

This issue would be easy to solve if there were video of the truck arriving and the explosion.

The government has claimed, consistently in public and in court, that no such video exists. The FBI Section Chief David M. Hardy has said in court filings under oath, that no such video exists.

But documents show FBI Agents taking possession of such video, and even describing the contents of such video, in their reports. Jesse Trentadue believes that multiple videos exist of the truck and the bombing, and federal officials refuse to release it because it shows a second bomber whom Trentadue believes was a federal agent.

Trentadue points to eyewitnesses who saw FBI Agents push people away from the immediate wreckage of the Alfred P. Murrah building, sternly warning individuals trying to save people trapped in the wreckage, among the 168 who died that day including the 19 children who died in the second floor daycare that tragic day, that they were not authorized to access the site because of confidential government files and information that were within the wreckage.

One such witness who saw FBI Agents order people away from the rescue mission was Don Browning. Browning testified in court that after being turned away from the wreckage, he also saw FBI Agents put up ladders to rip out the security cameras that were attached to the Murrah building.

This remarkable statement, which is in stark contrast to the statements by DOJ and FBI lawyers over the years that no such security camera footage exists, and no such cameras were ever on the Murrah building, could offer an extraordinary revelation into whether there was one or two bombers, and if there were more people than McVeigh exiting the truck, then the federal government’s theory of the case has been fundamentally flawed from the start.

The FBI and the Department of Justice has claimed in court that no such cameras ever existed. The FBI released 29 videos in 2009 from buildings near the Murrah building that showed the aftermath of the bombing from inside those buildings, but has never released the footage captured from the front of the targeted Murrah building. The FBI was accused of editing the 29 videos from 2009 by deleting the moment of the explosion, where federal authorities claimed the “tapes were being changed out” at that moment.
