Dan Bongino is President Donald Trump’s choice for deputy director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
“Great news for Law Enforcement and American Justice,” Trump wrote on TruthSocial. “Dan Bongino, a man of incredible love and passion for our Country, has just been named the next DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF THE FBI, by the man who will be the best ever Director, Kash Patel.”
Bongino began his career as a New York City police officer and then was in the U.S. Secret Service. He ran for Congress three times, never winning.
Bongino is a podcast host of the Dan Bongino Show on Rumble and is owner of the Bongino Report, a news site he launched after the Drudge Report was taken over by liberals. He hosted Unfiltered with Dan Bongino on Fox News until April 2023.
He will face confirmation from the US Senate, where Kash Patel was confirmed on a 51-49 vote.
“While Patel has experience as a lawyer and high-ranking official in federal intelligence agencies during Trump’s first term, Bongino has practical law enforcement experience as a former police officer and Secret Service agent. Both have excoriated the FBI over its role in facilitating the investigations Trump has faced since 2017, including submitting faulty foreign intelligence court applications in the Trump-Russia investigation,” wrote Susan Crabtree at RealClearPolitics.
“On his podcast, Bongino has called the FBI’s raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in 2022 ‘a freakin’ disgrace’ and ‘some third-world garbage,’ and has repeatedly slammed the FBI’s role in investigating the Jan 6, 2021, Capitol Hill riots along with the FBI raids and arrests of participants. Bongino and Patel were also at the forefront of Trump’s 2020 election fraud claims,” she reported.
Bongino often speaks about the Deep State and how they plotted to take out Tump. In 2016, he wrote about the FBI spying on Trump’s campaign in his book, “Spygate.”
How do you know the Trump organization is serious??
A non compromising cabinet in place , and now another “No Prisoner”
crime fighter named Bongino. What a politico cyclone ride this
is developing.
Cheers, Al Johnson-Ketchikan
How about the Biden crime family “organization”? Was there any compromising there? They thought only of themselves and didn’t give a good goddamn about the country or anybody but their cronies.
I must admit this surprises me. A friend had once said he should be the next director of the FBI, but I disagreed saying that Bongino is far too hotheaded for that kind of position. I used to listen to his podcast, but I stopped because he was just too far out there for my taste. I hope it was just a ploy to get listeners, so I guess we’ll see what the future brings.
The only thing that will fix the corrupt FBI and DOJ is for someone to go in, kick a– and take names. We’ve had enough of the corrupt, lily-livered jerks and it’s about time someone took an ax to both organizations.
Yeah, He maybe a “bit hot-headed”on his podcasts, but there are others who will keep him on “medium-high”, but he’ll still get the job done CORRECTLY and the way it SHOULD BE.
Patel and Bongino are going to be one hell of a partnership.
The FBI is about ready to see magic happen
Hang on
Comey, Peter Stroeck and girlfriend Lisa are all hiding in Brennan’s shed praying that they won’t be indicted. Milley is in the garage. Trump’s people are so much fun.
let the housecleaning begin
Making fun of Elon (who is a pretty huge dork) will be an arrestable offense by Labor Day.
I am ecstatic at the prospect of what these people who are being called into service will do for the American people and the whole world. These are no BS people, the kind of people you could call at 0200 in the morning and they would be there to help you no matter what. Dan does not need this, making huge $$$ but has a calling. Thank You
Reprehensible. Reject.
Looking in the mirror are you.
Ouchie that one really stings. Takes me right back to the school playground.
Pot meet kettle
Dawg,
Merrick Garland?
Yes , i agree, REJECT!
Lol…lol ….old Whidbey is losing it. LTDS.
Long Trump Derangement Syndrome. Yes, it’s real. No cure for at least 4 years. MAGA and Trump are the antidotes for the four past years of wacked-out insanity. And that feckless old leader from 2020-2024 is now in the lock-down unit of an Alzheimer’s ward, getting his diapers changed hourly. This is SO much fun!
Long Trump, as it’s now being referred to in general psychiatric practice, is a mentally debilitating and destabilizing force. But, that said, it’s great for business. Intake is simple. Just show us your Democrat credentials and take our 5-minute screen test. We do accept partial Medicare. But you better hurry, because that program is in jeopardy. Our office opens at 7:00am
Bongino being paired up with Kash was definitely not on my bingo card. It is more than welcome news! My guess is a lot of swampy deep staters are wetting the bed and sleeping with one eye open. Best meme ever was Dan and Kash standing in front of the FAFO graph.
This is good. He will help Patel root out the corruption within the agency.
Go get’em Dan! Hope to see a bunch of senators getting indicted soon
Absolutely a great selection. We are long overdue for some kick— and take names movers & shakers. Love the sucking sound of the swamp draining.
I love this! And I love that the left is having a fit over it. That means he was definitely the right pick!
Book em , Dano
