Just the News Listed a File of Priestap Text Messages in the Binder

REPORTING

John Solomon and Steven Richards at Just the News published a package of Russia-collusion records they said President Trump declassified and FBI Director Kash Patel transmitted to Congress. The article’s file list includes an item titled “2025.04.10 - Priestap text messages.pdf.” That is journalism about a declassified binder. The underlying PDFs, where posted, are the primary documents. This draft treats the existence of a listed Priestap-texts file as reported. It does not invent quotations from a PDF this build did not excerpt line by line.

A companion Just the News piece on the Crossfire Hurricane binder is context for the investigation Priestap’s division ran. Confirm the body names him before treating any extra sentence as his. Older Just the News Flynn coverage quoted the 2017 notes already handled in the Flynn-notes post.

No dedicated RealClearPolitics Priestap feature was located. No dedicated Daily Wire Priestap profile was located. No Deep Capture or OANN article that could be opened as a Priestap piece was used.

Opinion

The following is commentary by this site. It is not a finding of fact and not a legal conclusion.

Compiler take

Years later the binder still has a Priestap texts file in the table of contents. If the texts were nothing, they would not keep traveling with the Crossfire Hurricane stack.
