FBI Director Kash Patel has uncovered burn bags/room filled with hidden Russia Gate files, including the Durham annex.
Regardless of the current disposition of those bags’ contents (Patel is declassifying them and intends to release them), my question is this: what level of negligence has it been that those burn bags have not been burned and still exist after all these years?
While it’s presently convenient that those burn bags remain unburned so their contents can be released after suitable (limited) redacting, the negligence is a threat to our nation’s security. The individuals responsible for that security negligence need to be identified and fired for cause.
Those bags were not (primarily) actually intended for burning – merely for hiding the evidence until it was safe to open them.
Stipulating that’s true; they’re still burn bags, and this still is an abuse of them with its associated security failures. The responsible individuals need to be terminated for cause and brought to criminal trial.
