The FBI has discreetly initiated an investigation into a decade’s worth of activities—from the Russia collusion narrative to the Jack Smith prosecutions—conducted by Democratic operatives and certain elements of the intelligence community, as reported on Monday.
This inquiry may result in the appointment of a special prosecutor to ascertain whether these well-documented incidents represent a coordinated effort to sway three U.S. elections in favor of Democrats and to the detriment of President Trump, according to Just the News, which cited unnamed sources within the administration.
The investigation into the so-called “grand conspiracy” commenced several weeks ago under the leadership of the new FBI Director, Kash Patel, and could gain traction if President Trump declassifies two sets of classified evidence that may indicate a potential origin of the alleged scheme dating back to the summer of 2016, sources with direct knowledge informed Just the News.
The first set of evidence originates from a classified annex related to a long-standing inspector general inquiry into Hillary Clinton’s private email server, which was obtained at the request of Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, and is believed to disclose that the FBI intentionally ignored credible allegations of misconduct.
The second batch, referred to as “Clinton plan intelligence” in Special Counsel John Durham’s final report on Russiagate, was also kept in a classified annex and withheld from both the public and the majority of Congress members, as noted by Just the News.
Earlier this month, CIA Director John Ratcliffe delivered a scathing critique of the U.S. intelligence community’s management of Russian interference in the 2016 election. He criticized former CIA Director John Brennan for aligning the agency with the FBI’s decision to include ex-British spy Christopher Steele’s discredited anti-Trump dossier in official assessments.
Ratcliffe specifically concluded that Brennan “demonstrated a preference for narrative consistency over analytical soundness.”
The CIA director subsequently shared a post on social media concerning his report, describing the smear campaign against Trump as an “atypical & corrupt process within the politically charged atmospheres of former Director Brennan and former FBI Director Comey.”
Should Trump choose to declassify the Grassley and Durham annexes, prosecutors may present these documents to a grand jury to demonstrate a pattern of the FBI and intelligence community deliberately suppressing evidence detrimental to Democrats while vigorously pursuing unfounded allegations against the president, as reported by Just the News.
In a separate matter, officials from the Trump administration are contemplating the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate disclosures, initially reported by Just the News, indicating that the FBI obtained human-source intelligence and corroborating evidence suggesting that China orchestrated fraudulent mail-in ballots in 2020 to benefit Joe Biden.
Reports indicate that the FBI neither investigated the tip-off nor preserved the evidence, instead recalling it and ordering its destruction. Nevertheless, with the five-year statute of limitations on this allegation nearing expiration weeks after the evidence surfaced in August 2020, any potential criminal referral faces a very limited timeframe for action, according to the outlet.
Patel’s FBI has initiated a comprehensive “grand conspiracy” investigation aimed at circumventing impending statutes of limitations by treating distinct incidents as components of a continuous scheme or racketeering enterprise. This strategy would provide a special prosecutor the chance to connect recent alleged offenses with older ones under a unified conspiracy theory.
Furthermore, the investigation facilitates the convening of a grand jury in a jurisdiction outside of Washington, D.C.—where jury pools have historically shown reluctance to convict individuals who have targeted Trump. D.C. has never supported a Republican presidential candidate: the only GOP nominee to surpass 20% of the vote there was Richard Nixon in 1972 (with 21.56%), and in the most recent election, 92.1% of ballots were cast against Trump.
Florida is a possible location, as reported by the outlet. It was in this state that Special Counsel Jack Smith conducted the Mar-a-Lago search in 2022 and subsequently charged Trump with the mishandling of classified documents—a case that was later dismissed by a federal judge.
“Florida presents an interesting possibility because the overt acts of the alleged conspiracy took place there and remain within the statute of limitations,” stated a former federal prosecutor who was recently consulted by officials from the Trump administration, as reported to Just the News.
