The Great Leak Hunt of Term #1 – FBI Director Kash Patel Gives Another Mostly Declassified Release to John Solomon


Posted originally on CTH on August 22, 2025 | Sundance 

You may remember the year 2017, the first year of President Trump’s first term in office when the entire Main Justice, FBI and Intelligence Community apparatus was leaking manufactured, sometimes classified information, to the media.

Against President Trump’s furious demands, the Dept of Justice, Jeff Sessions, Rod Rosenstein and Dana Boente announced a widespread ‘whole of govt’ effort to find the leakers in an effort to stop the outflow.

The leakers were later identified, albeit never prosecuted, as top DOJ, FBI and Intelligence Community (DNI, CIA) officials.  However, the insufferable hunt for them was also shown to be mostly nonsense, because the apparatus of DC just didn’t care.

With orange Hitler in the White House, the Washington DC Uniparty didn’t care how he was taken out – they just wanted him gone.  We all remember it well.

In the latest release of information, from FBI Director Kash Patel to John Solomon, part of the leak hunting files has been made public. [SEE HERE].  I would note, the FBI file constructs are intentionally obtuse, because: (a) they come from multiple silos by design; and (b) they don’t outline a useful timeline to tell the story.  This is done on purpose.

Now, before the Q-adherents and alt-media clickbait crowd start to generate false-hope soundbites and column inches from the data, let me be crystal clear:

Absolutely nothing will come of this release, AND that cannot be emphasized enough; because in the final analysis, evidence released to John Solomon – is, by its nature – never going to be used in court proceedings.

If the DOJ and FBI planned to use the evidence in court, they would not be giving it to their clickbait friends in media.

That said, here’s some first review perspectives on the release anyway.

The file release surrounds the investigation known as “Tropic Vortex,” another stupid name given by the stupid FBI to one of their information control operations, under the auspices of an “investigation.”

Tropic Vortex was triggered in January 2019 and made official in February 2019. It was the outcome of the U.S Attorney in Washington DC, Jessie Liu, sending an investigative leak file to the FBI for review and action.

Within the release, we find that Connecticut Attorney John Durham was used in March 2017. That’s new.

That’s a full two years before his name surfaced publicly via Bill Barr.  Thus, the origin of the Durham spray paint operation surfaces sooner than previously understood. Interesting.

Durham was assigned by Acting Deputy Attorney General Dana Boente on 3/22/17, based on a criminal referral from [XXXXX] redacted? [That redaction is likely 28/29 characters] “House Intelligence Committee”? Possible fit.

[SOURCE]

March 22, 2017, was two days after James Comey’s first testimony to the HPSCI on March 20, where he admitted publicly for the first time President Donald Trump was the target of an FBI counterintelligence investigation.

[Comey’s 3/20/17 testimony was three days after SSCI Vice Chair Mark Warner and SSCI Security Director James Wolfe leaked the FISA to media. The intent was momentum for a special counsel. After the 3/17/17 FISA leak, it made no sense for Comey to keep denying Trump was a target. Hence the admission on 3/20/17.]

• Sessions recused March 2nd

• Nunes Presser March 16th

• Wolfe/Warner leak March 17th

• Comey Testimony March 20th

Nine months later, USAO John Durham completes his investigation, December 2017, and determines no criminal charge into the leaks is warranted.

However, things get interesting.  We know from the Wolfe indictment, at almost the exact same time as Durham says there’s no ‘there’ there – move along, move along, the FBI is getting a December 2017 admission from SSCI Security Director James Wolfe that he leaked classified information to the media.

Following the December admission, the Mark Warner/James Wolfe leaking issues (evidence), indictment and plea deal take place throughout 2018.  U.S. Attorney for DC Jessie Liu is in charge of the prosecution and plea agreement.

Then suddenly, in January 2019 [check the second paragraph above], Liu sends a memo highlighting what appears to be the Wolfe investigative file that “may contain information relevant to other FBI investigations of public disclosures.”

FBI Investigation “Tropic Vortex” is an outcome. The “unauthorized public disclosures of U.S. govt classified information.”

Jan/Feb 2019 “Tropic Vortex” is now a combination of several prior leak and classified document releases. Official notification of full investigation 02/04/2019.

As you can see, the CURRENT DOJ/FBI doesn’t want us to know the details of why USAO Jessie Liu was sending information to the FBI following the sentencing of James Wolfe.    My message to the current AG/FBI Director is above.

[In the background, Jeff Sessions was fired November 2018. President Trump nominated Bill Barr December 07, 2018. Bill Barr was confirmed Feb 14, 2019.  The Mueller probe is winding down.]

Tropic Vortex starts shortly before Bill Barr is confirmed as Attorney General, and originates as an outcome of USAO Jessie Liu sending something to the FBI which caused them to re-open the 2017 Durham investigation and generate an overlapping larger investigation with a new name.

The information from Liu, almost certainly about leaks to media, “may contain information relevant to other FBI investigations of public disclosures.”  So, the FBI triggers a larger investigation to throw a bigger bag over all of it.

So, what was “Tropic Vortex” about?

Well, it’s a combination of several leak investigations, and would have been what was ultimately briefed to incoming AG Bill Barr and helped formulate his initial perspectives.

This part of the case AG Bill Barr was eventually handed back to John Durham for review in 2019.  A considerable irony given that we now know Durham already looked into these matters beginning in March 2017 and stopped in December 2017.

Tropic Vortex existed as an FBI investigation from February 2019, until January 30, 2020.  That’s when USAO Jessie Liu ended the investigation by deciding she was not going to prosecute any of the leakers.

USAO Jessie Liu resigned the following day, January 31, 2020.

Think about it against the fulsome context of what we know.

♦ James Comey leaked to media, admitted it and was not prosecuted (Durham ’17).  ♦ Andrew McCabe leaked to media, lied about it three times, and yet he too was not prosecuted (Durham ’17).  ♦ James Wolfe leaked to media, lied about it, then admitted he lied, and was given a plea deal that didn’t involve any prosecution for leaking.

How could USAO-DC Jessie Liu prosecute anyone for leaking anything given the context of these examples?

Hey, at least Kash is giving Solomon stuff to show how corrupt it is.

Just like John Durham, Kash Patel and Pam Bondi are not going to do anything about it; but hey, we know the details now – so there’s that! August 22, 2025 | Sundance

DNI Tulsi Gabbard Removes Security Clearances of 37 Intelligence Analysts


PDirector of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard continues her effort to deconstruct the politicization of the intelligence community with the revocation of security clearances from 37 intelligence analysts.  Many of these names are from the fraudulent Intelligence Community letter that dismissed the Hunter Biden laptop as Russian disinformation.

In a Twitter announcement today, DNI Gabbard posts a notification letter that the security clearances are revoked effective immediately. Most of the names on the list are unknown to the general public, but these are the people buried deep inside the intelligence information system who are tasked with interpreting intelligence data.

The names on the list come mostly from the staff pool of the National Security Council (NSC), CIA National Intelligence Council (NIC), State Dept. and various sub-silos within the offices that deliver finished intelligence products to the CIA, FBI Counterintelligence Division, NSA intelligence analysis center and ultimately the DNI and White House.

These are the sources of politicized, often manufactured, intelligence interpretations.

When former National Security Advisor Susan Rice, DNI James Clapper and former CIA Director John Brennan said, “give me this outcome,” the targeted names today are the people who constructed the fraud.  Some of the names, like Beth Sanner, are currently working as “National Security Analysts” for various media operations, like CNN.

Several names on the list are former intelligence analysts who signed the letter manufactured by former Acting CIA Director Mike Morrell about the Biden laptop.

(ODNI – VIA Twitter) – “Being entrusted with a security clearance is a privilege, not a right. Those in the Intelligence Community who betray their oath to the Constitution and put their own interests ahead of the interests of the American people have broken the sacred trust they promised to uphold. In doing so, they undermine our national security, the safety and security of the American people and the foundational principles of our democratic republic.

This is why, at POTUS’ direction, ODNI directed the revocation of the security clearances of 37 current and former intelligence professionals who have abused the public trust by politicizing and manipulating intelligence, leaking classified intelligence without authorization, and/or committing intentional egregious violations of tradecraft standards.

Our Intelligence Community must be committed to upholding the values and principles enshrined in the US Constitution and maintain a laser-like focus on our mission of ensuring the safety, security and freedom of the American people.” (read more)

DNI Tulsi Gabbard appeared on Fox News, Sean Hannity (ugh), to discuss the latest developments.

“The Transparency Initiative” – FBI Director Kash Patel Outlines His Objective with Russiagate Information Releases


Posted originally on CTH on August 14, 2025 | Sundance

FBI Director Kash Patel appears on broadcast with Sean Hannity to discuss his goals and objectives with the ongoing information releases from the FBI, “The Transparency Initiative.”

Take your emotion out of it. Take your feelings out of it. Do not project anything onto it. Imagine yourself hearing and reviewing this for the first time.  Watch and listen carefully to it. Your intuition will not be wrong.  WATCH:

Next segment below.

.

What you are witnessing is a performance.  This is performative, not substantive.

It sounds simplistic, but the #1 easiest *tell* is the venue, Sean ‘tick-tock’ Hannity.  The #2 and #3 are the references to Trey Gowdy et al.  The chaff and countermeasures process.

Kash Patel says, “we are building a case for the American public“…  There it is.

Accept things as they are, not as we would wish them to be. Do not project onto it.

There’s the defined “accountability” outcome Kash Patel and Pam Bondi are delivering.

It’s okay.  Sunlight is a good goal, exposure is a good goal, but moderate expectations and do not expect to see any indictments.  They “are building a case for the American public,” not a jury.

If they were building a case for a jury, they wouldn’t be on television talking about building their case.

Why Declassified Information is Called a Silo Equity


Posted originally on CTH on August 14, 2025 | Sundance 

I am writing this outline because we have many new readers and also to keep everyone on the same page, so to speak.

There is a reason why information held within an administrative agency, within a silo, is called an “equity.”  The information has ownership exclusive to the originating agency or silo.  A known equity of a specific silo.

EXAMPLE of an “FBI equity” and how it is handled below:

An “equity” is information with ownership belonging to a specific agency or silo. Only the agency head can declassify information within their silo. Ex. The head of the FBI cannot declassify or release the “equity” of the CIA. The head of the CIA can declassify an equity of the CIA, and the FBI head can declassify the equity of the FBI.

Only the President and the Director of National Intelligence (Tulsi Gabbard) can reach into any agency (silo), retrieve information then declassify it. The President and the DNI can work together to release information from any silo.

This process is what we are seeing with the releases of information, FBI equities, from FBI Director Kash Patel. These are exclusive equities of the FBI, and can be released (with approval) from the head of the executive, the President.

Then the issue of distribution surfaces. Once an equity is declassified, Patel then has to determine how to make the information public. He could: (a) release it directly from the FBI to the public; (b) release it to the legislative branch for distribution to the public (Grassley or similar): or (c) release it to a media outlet (Solomon), who in turn releases it to the public.

The White House may not want the FBI to release it directly to the public due to the appearance of politics. The legislative option may not want to be the distribution hub due to the appearance of politics. The media outlet may or may not want to release it for their own reasons.

The office of the President may not want the FBI to release the information directly because it can create a problem for the Executive if the material is framed politically. The FBI is a subsidiary of the Executive. The information can look very political if a political appointee is releasing information that is politically explosive in nature.

In the first set of FBI declassification releases, the White House obviously approved of the release and the office of Senator Chuck Grassley was working with Kash Patel to distribute the declassified information, because it pertained to research and investigations they were conducting. The “equity” was beneficial to their interests.

In the current FBI releases by Kash Patel, the exclusive FBI equities are being released to John Solomon for distribution. This approach is because of a pre-existing relationship.

At the same time Director Patel is releasing information from within the specific FBI silo, DNI Tulsi Gabbard is declassifying and releasing information from both her silo (DNI) and other silos (CIA). In the CIA releases, Gabbard is coordinating with the declassification approval of CIA Director John Ratcliffe.

When you understand the silo system and how information is considered an equity of each silo, you start to realize how certain silos cannot operate without the approval of another.

The DOJ cannot use a CIA equity unless the CIA approves. The DOJ cannot use an NSA equity unless the NSA approves. Regardless of how the information is identified, each silo must approve of their equities being released. If they do not approve the only option is for the President to override the silo head and declassify the information himself.

As an outcome of the way our checks and balances have been modified against our interests, the judicial branch has repeatedly deferred to the DOJ around the issue of “national security.” In fact, if the DOJ labels any Lawfare approach as a national security matter the subsequent evidence therein, the NSI (even when not seen) is accepted by the judicial branch without question. The judicial branch defers to the executive on all matters defined by the executive as “national security.”

This is the area of exploit being discussed by Mary McCord in this segment. However, notice there is one apparatus that can supercede the DOJ-NSD’s ability to weaponize Nat Sec Information, that’s the power of the intelligence apparatus. WATCH:

McCord notes how she and Andrew Weissmann navigate through the process of using National Security Information (NSI) as they move toward their target; the most common reference is their political opposition, Donald J Trump.

This silo process is also how the DC system protects itself from sunlight.

A whistleblower from the CIA cannot go to the FBI with evidence of corrupt activity and expect the FBI to take action on that evidence without the approval of the CIA. If the CIA whistleblower takes the equity evidence to the FBI and the CIA does not permit the equity evidence to be used, the FBI cannot use it.

Similarly, if a non-silo member of the public connects the dots using information/evidence from multiple silos, the DOJ cannot use that evidence without first requesting approval from each of the silo heads.

Silos only know their own information. Silos do not know the information in other agencies. This was the entire premise of creating the DNI, a super-silo that can cross reference each silos’ equities. Using this power is what I have been outlining for the past several years, and this is what Tulsi Gabbard has been doing for the first time since the DNI office was created.

Alternatively, Kash Patel has selected John Solomon for the release of information exclusive to Kash Patel’s silo. Because the equities do not involve any other silo, this is possible.  Solomon doesn’t care if the information release is defined as political, and most of the information is expired old news being repackaged for public consumption.

Throughout this process, the MSM regards all declassified information against their interests to be political constructs, easily ignored.  Trump as head of the executive is framed as releasing information against his political opposition.

Also understand, each legislative committee or sub-committee within congress (legislative branch) is its own independent silo. The HPSCI doesn’t know what the SSCI is doing, and vice-versa. Additionally, each agency within the executive branch is its own independent silo. There are also silos within the judicial branch, and within each federal court within the judicial branch – including the FISA Court.

Each silo is its own compartment of information holding exclusive equities.

This DC system has been weaponized over time to create the complicated mess that currently exists.

Keep all of this in mind, as you look at the information outflow and distribution network.

Warmest best,

~ Sundance
