So does this mean it is possible to hide a crime by making it classified, making it illegal for anyone to reveal that such a crime was committed?

As far as I understand it, if the DOJ and the Inspector General are all on board with whatever is being done, then realistically there’s no way to get it in front of a court or the court of public opinion without risking being charged for disclosing classified material all the way up to treason.
