Now in question is the entirety of Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation into the Russia-collusion hoaxers.

People familiar with the investigation into the Russia collusion hoax told The Federalist that senior officials did not know the FBI case management database, Sentinel, allowed agents to conceal the existence of evidence. Nor did anyone from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s office mention that documents related to the investigation into the Trump campaign had been rendered invisible by use of the “Prohibited Access” coding in Sentinel — even though they knew the Department of Justice was investigating the origins and handling of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation.

On Monday, a former political appointee at the DOJ expressed surprise that no one from Special Counsel Mueller’s team mentioned the “Prohibited Access” functionality of Sentinel to senior officials. This news follows last week’s release by Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, of a recently declassified FBI report that revealed that Special Counsel Mueller’s office used a “Prohibited Access” restriction during the Trump/Russia-collusion investigation.

As The Federalist detailed earlier today, the “Prohibited Access” coding in the FBI’s Sentinel case management system, “precludes investigators from detecting the existence of potentially relevant serials.” “In other words,” according to the just-released FBI report, “when search terms that exist in the Prohibited Access-status cases are searched in Sentinel, the particular search will receive a false-negative Sentinel search response.”

This contrasts with FBI documents categorized in Sentinel as “Restricted Access.” While that restriction prevents FBI agents from viewing the contents of “Restricted Access” files, Sentinel will nonetheless show there are hits for the search terms. Other investigators will thus know that potentially relevant evidence exists. Not so with the “Prohibited Access” code, which will leave other FBI wrongly believing there are no responsive documents.
