In separate interviews this week, both FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino have revealed that since taking over the FBI, they have discovered a stash of files they believe were intended to be hidden from them.
Patel and Bongino are pointing fingers at former FBI director James Comey, saying the majority of the files they have discovered have been from the era when Comey was in charge. They believe the files were stashed away on purpose.
In an interview with Fox News host Bret Baier, which aired Wednesday, Patel spoke of the newly-discovered files.
“We have found material… and I’m the Crossfire Hurricane guy… that I didn’t even know existed in FBI holdings,” Patel said, adding, “That’s been stashed away in locations that people thought we wouldn’t find it because we wouldn’t know to look for it there.”

Thursday morning, Bongino expounded on the hidden files in an interview with Fox and Friends.
Referring to former FBI director James Comey and the ‘hidden boxes,’ host Lawrence Jones asked, “Does he still have loyalists in the building?”
Bongino said when he and Patel first came on board, there were a “lot of people who grabbed us by the arm and said ‘Thank you for being here. We need to talk.'”
“There was a room, and we found a lot of stuff, A hidden room. I wouldn’t call it hidden, but hidden from us, at least, and not mentioned to us. We found stuff in there, and a lot of it’s from the Comey era,” Bongino explained.
“We are working our damnedest right now to declassify… I totally understand people saying, ‘well do it now.’ The process is not all the information is ours to declassify some is other intelligence agencies’. It’s not… We literally can’t do it.”
“Once that gets done and gets out there, and you read some of the stuff we found, that, by the way, was not processed through the normal procedure, digitizing it and putting it in FBI records… we found it in bags hiding under James Comey’s FBI.. You’re going to be stunned,” he said.

“Of all the things that have surprised me in the close to three months I’ve been here, [at the FBI], is the depravity of Jim Comey. This man is a disgrace to the badge, the FBI, and the country,” Bongino said.

Patel also shredded Comey, saying, “When that man was leader of the FBI, he perpetrated the largest criminal conspiracy, packed political information from overseas, took it to a federal FISA court, and illegally surveilled a political opponent, so I won’t be lectured on how to run the FBI from that man.”

Meanwhile, a defiant Comey is going on CNN and ranting against Patel and Bongino reopening multiple cases.
Disgraced James Comey is losing it on live TV over Dan Bongino and Kash Patel reopening investigations into the White House cocaine, the J6 pipe bomber, and the Dobbs leak.
This is how you know they are right over the target.
