The FBI has quietly launched a wide-ranging criminal investigation into what officials are calling a decade-long \u201cgrand conspiracy\u201d by Democratic Party operatives and deep-state actors to interfere in multiple U.S. elections.<\/p>\n

FBI Director Kash Patel initiated the investigation a few weeks ago. Sources told\u00a0Just the News<\/a>\u00a0the probe could lead to the appointment of a special prosecutor to determine whether the actions surrounding Russia collusion, Jack Smith\u2019s prosecutions, and other events add up to a criminal conspiracy.<\/p>\n

One source said the case could gain momentum if President Trump declassifies two sets of still-classified evidence dating back to 2016.<\/p>\n

The first is a classified annex tied to the inspector general\u2019s investigation into Hillary Clinton\u2019s private email server\u2014an annex Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley has sought for years. That annex allegedly shows that credible intelligence suggesting wrongdoing was ignored by the FBI.<\/p>\n

The second set of documents relates to Special Counsel John Durham\u2019s final report, which references what it calls \u201cClinton plan intelligence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Durham\u2019s report revealed that U.S. intelligence agencies were aware the Clinton campaign was pushing a fake Russia collusion narrative in 2016 before the FBI launched its now-discredited Crossfire Hurricane probe.<\/p>\n

Much of the evidence used in that probe came from Clinton allies or the campaign itself. Both tranches remain classified and have never been released to the public. Officials say the reason for the secrecy is that the documents reveal sensitive intelligence-gathering methods.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, CIA Director John Ratcliffe issued a scathing review of how the intelligence community handled Russian interference claims in 2016.<\/p>\n

He accused former CIA Director John Brennan of favoring a political narrative over sound analysis and criticized the FBI for helping promote the now-debunked Steele dossier.<\/p>\n

Ratcliffe later posted online that Trump was the target of \u201can atypical & corrupt process\u201d under Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey.<\/p>\n

If Trump declassifies the Grassley and Durham annexes, prosecutors could use them before a grand jury to show a pattern of misconduct\u2014arguing that agencies ignored evidence damaging to Democrats while aggressively targeting Trump.<\/p>\n

One possibility under discussion is appointing a special prosecutor to examine evidence that the FBI received intelligence in August 2020 suggesting China was preparing fake mail-in ballots to help Joe Biden.<\/p>\n

Instead of investigating, the FBI allegedly told other agencies to disregard the intelligence and destroy the information.<\/p>\n

The statute of limitations on that specific incident is set to expire in a matter of weeks.<\/p>\n

But officials say the broader conspiracy case could allow prosecutors to tie older and newer misconduct together under one ongoing criminal scheme.<\/p>\n

That approach could also allow a grand jury to be seated outside of Washington, D.C., where conviction rates in Trump-related cases have been virtually nonexistent.<\/p>\n

Florida is being considered as one possible venue.\u00a0Officials say some of the overt acts in the alleged conspiracy occurred there and remain within the statute of limitations.<\/p>\n

A former federal prosecutor told\u00a0Just the News<\/em>\u00a0that Florida could be a logical venue, citing the 2022 Mar-a-Lago raid and other events.\u00a0If the case moves forward and a special prosecutor is appointed, it could examine whether years of decisions made by government officials were part of a coordinated attempt to influence the 2016, 2020, and 2024 elections.<\/p>\n

Democrats, including Clinton, Comey, Brennan, and Smith, have denied wrongdoing while acknowledging some mistakes.<\/p>\n

But congressional Republicans have uncovered evidence suggesting those mistakes may have been intentional.<\/p>\n

The probe is also expected to look at multiple cases involving Trump that relied on flawed or fabricated evidence.<\/p>\n

Officials believe the \u201cgrand conspiracy\u201d case could tie these events together and show a coordinated effort to weaponize federal law enforcement against one political opponent over multiple election cycles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
