The FBI has discreetly initiated a significant investigation into what sources describe as a decade-long Democratic and deep-state operation, spanning from Russia collusion to Jack Smith. This could potentially pave the way for a special prosecutor to intervene and uncover a potential coordinated criminal conspiracy aimed at disrupting three U.S. elections and harming President Donald Trump.
Internally referred to as a “grand conspiracy,” the FBI opened the case several weeks ago following the appointment of new Director Kash Patel. Sources said to Just the News that the probe could accelerate if Trump declassifies two critical sets of evidence tied to the summer of 2016—what some insiders believe could be the spark that ignited the entire operation.
One of those documents is a classified annex from the long-buried inspector general’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server. Senator Chuck Grassley has requested the annex, believed to reveal the FBI’s deliberate disregard for credible evidence of potential criminal conduct.
Special Counsel John Durham buried the other document in the classified appendix of his final report on Russiagate. Durham flagged it as “Clinton plan intelligence”—evidence that the CIA was aware the Clinton campaign was working to invent a Trump-Russia collusion narrative before the FBI even launched the Crossfire Hurricane probe. That probe relied heavily on discredited material generated by Clinton allies.
Both pieces of evidence have been locked away for nearly ten years under classification rules that protect intelligence methods. But insiders say they also shield the government from serious accountability.
CIA Director John Ratcliffe recently released a harsh assessment of the intelligence community’s handling of 2016 election interference. He specifically criticized former CIA Director John Brennan for pushing Steele’s phony Trump dossier into official channels. Ratcliffe accused Brennan of valuing “narrative consistency” over actual intelligence analysis and later posted online that the entire process was “atypical and corrupt” under Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey.
If Trump declassifies the Grassley and Durham documents, prosecutors could present them to a grand jury as evidence of a pattern—intelligence agencies covering for Democrats while weaponizing flawed or manufactured material to go after Trump.
The Trump team is also weighing a special counsel to investigate bombshell allegations reported by Just the News that the FBI received intelligence in August 2020 that China was attempting to flood the U.S. with fake mail-in ballots to help Joe Biden win. Not only did the FBI fail to act, they reportedly recalled the intel and told other agencies to destroy it. But the five-year statute of limitations on that case runs out in just weeks, making a prosecution difficult unless it can be tied to a larger, ongoing criminal conspiracy.
That’s where the broader “grand conspiracy” case comes in. By framing this as a long-running effort to weaponize government against a political opponent, a prosecutor could link old events to new ones under a conspiracy or racketeering framework, keeping the window for accountability open.
And there’s another potential game-changer: venue.
A grand jury could be seated outside Washington, D.C., where convictions in anti-Trump cases are nearly impossible. D.C. voters have never supported a Republican presidential candidate, and in 2020, 92.1% of the vote went against Trump.
One location being considered is Florida, where Jack Smith raided Mar-a-Lago and charged Trump with mishandling documents, only to see the case dismissed.
“Florida is an intriguing option because overt acts of the alleged conspiracy occurred there and are still inside the statute of limitations,” one former federal prosecutor said after being consulted by Trump officials.
Prosecutors and jurors would finally be able to ask the crucial question: Did Democratic leaders use their government power to interfere in the 2016, 2020, and 2024 elections?
