Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley announced an investigation into the “Prohibited Access” files at the FBI and Special Agent who illegally wiped his laptop while working for then-Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
I recently obtained a declassified FBI doc revealing FBI hs been putting some files under “Prohibited” or “Restricted” access Walling off records allows FBI 2pull the wool over the eyes of Cong+the IG+even their own employees Im investigating this VERY serious transparency matter

The FBI and Mueller’s team hid Russiagate documents with a special coding in the FBI’s case management database.
Senior DOJ officials reportedly did not know that FBI agents and members of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team used a “Prohibited Access” code to make Russian collusion documents invisible.
This way, Mueller’s dirty Democrat lawyers could hide exculpatory evidence. Recall that General Flynn was forced into a ‘guilty plea’ of one count of false statements after partisan prosecutors tricked him and withheld Brady material.
2/2 Criminal defendants won’t be provided potentially exculpatory evidence; civil litigants won’t be provided relevant discovery–think FBI agents involved in censorship; Congress denied requested documents; Inspector General & Special Counsel don’t get all documents. ️️@fdrlst

Grassley demanded Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel search for and produce all records related to Mueller and the Biden Crime Family that may currently be hiding in the “Prohibited Access” files.
“As I’m sure you are aware, the impact of parking records in a way that impedes, or in some cases prevents, responsive records from being produced to Congress pursuant to a valid request and during the course of court litigation, whether criminal or civil, is wide-ranging and potentially catastrophic to constitutional requirements,” Grassley wrote to Bondi and Patel. “Indeed, if the FBI has failed to take steps in the past to access records in ‘Restricted’ or ‘Prohibited’ status, the FBI has not fully responded to many years of my oversight requests.”
Chairman Grassley is also seeking records related to DOJ/FBI officials who destroyed federal documents related to Mueller’s bogus Trump-Russia collusion investigation.
Recall that Mueller’s top henchman Andrew Weissmann deleted his government phones numerous times during the Mueller inquisition.
Special Agent Walter Giardina who played a major role in the Mueller probe, Peter Navarro prosecution, Arctic Frost, Crossfire Hurricane, Roger Stone and Hillary Clinton cases illegally wiped his government laptop.
Per Grassley:
- SA Giardina was an initial recipient of the Steele Dossier and falsely said that the report was corroborated as true.
- SA Giardina stated openly his animosity toward President Trump and made known his personal motivation to investigate Trump.
- SA Giardina electronically wiped the laptop he was assigned while working for Special Counsel Mueller outside of established protocol for record preservation, raising the possibility that he destroyed government records. The destruction of the laptop was reported to the DOJ Office of Inspector General.
- SA Giardina instructed agents to use false Emolument Clause predication on President Trump to “dig around.”
- SA Giardina was a case agent assigned to the Crimson River case, later changed to Red Maasari. This case was leaked, by whom it is not known, to the Washington Post in August 2024, roughly 90 days before the presidential election, in an attempt to falsely discredit President Trump.
NEW: Senate Judiciary is investigating FBI agent Giardina, who “falsely said the [Steele dossier] was corroborated as true” and “stated openly his animosity toward Trump” and “electronically wiped the laptop he was assigned while working for Special Counsel Mueller” on Flynn case https://t.co/Q4mt6GFRQt
