"Back in July, in the wake of Trump's struggles to distract from his own Epstein cover-up and as if in response to Tulsi Gabbard's wild rants about the Intelligence Community Assessment, the FBI Director posted this tweet, RTing an inflammatory tweet from a propagandist who has been central to Kash's disinformation about the Russian investigation. Buried in a back room at the FBI, Kash claimed, was what John Solomon called "the smoking gun evidence ... [i]f it is authenticated.""
"Days later, Kash referenced these files again, explicitly tying his campaign to supplant the Steele dossier for the actual Russian investigation with his role, as FBI Director, now focusing on "uncovered burn bags/room filled with hidden Russia Gate files, including the Durham annex." It took just a matter of days for me and Charlie Savage to figure out that four years earlier,"
In July the FBI Director retweeted an inflammatory post from a propagandist tied to disinformation about the Russia investigation. Kash claimed buried FBI files contained what John Solomon called "the smoking gun evidence ... [i]f it is authenticated." He later tied those files to an effort to supplant the Steele dossier, asserting focus on "uncovered burn bags/room filled with hidden Russia Gate files, including the Durham annex." John Durham had previously concluded the email Solomon called a smoking gun was "a composite of several emails." The Durham annex release showed officials had chased Russian disinformation, prompting reliance on Sean Davis propaganda to rebut reporting.
