#Dan #Bongino will now join FBI Director Kash Patel
— a man with similarly spicy views over the failed insurrection of January 2021
— in leading America’s premier law enforcement and investigations agency.

But if you’re looking for a social media post that really gets to the heart of what Bongino is about, the following is the best example:

“What do the ‘Great Reset,’ starvation, censorship, and the FBI have in common? Don’t miss my show today on Rumble, for the answer.”
Can you smell it? (Deep inhale.)
Ah … the heady aroma of #conspiracism.
The promise of a big reveal.
An appeal to an alternative media platform.

The elements are all there.
That’s right, Dan Bongino is an algorithm-humper.
A grifter.
A creature of the “new media.”
A man who tells his audience what it wants to hear, not what it needs to know

‘Unqualified henchmen’:
fears rise as Trump names far-right podcaster as FBI deputy director

Fears over the future direction of the FBI have intensified after Donald Trump announced that a far-right podcaster, #Dan #Bongino, who has never served in the bureau, would become its next deputy director.

Bongino, a former New York police officer and Secret Service agent who provided security to Presidents George W Bush and Barack Obama, is best known as a conservative commentator who has vocally supported Trump’s false claim that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.
His appointment as deputy to the newly confirmed director, #Kash #Patel, marks the first time in the bureau’s 117-year history that the second-in-command post has not been held by one of its senior agents.

It further increased fears – already high following Patel’s confirmation as director – that the administration would attempt to use the bureau to pursue its political enemies.

“Donald Trump just named far-right MAGA podcaster Dan Bongino, a notorious conspiracy theorist who promoted the lie that the 2020 election was ‘stolen,’ to serve as Deputy Director of the FBI. God help us all,” posted the X account Republicans Against Trump.

…#Bongino has repeated #Trump's lie that he won the 2020 election & advanced another #conspiracy that Joe Biden's admin was behind the #FBI search for #ClassifiedDocuments at Trump's Florida home.

"EVERYONE involved in this DOJ/FBI abomination, from the management down to the agents, must be immediately terminated when the tyrants are thrown out of office," he said on X.

[and now this idiot is the FBI dpty dir]

In Friday's episode, there was a segment about the #FBI, in which he praised #KashPatel….

…"How amazing would it be in four years to look back with a good, high-quality, reformed FBI free of woke culture & DEI that goes out making headline, big arrests of real bad guys destroying your community. How good would that be?" he said.

#Bongino, who has run for Congress 3X [& lost], hosted #Trump on his podcast ahead of last year's election.

#DanBongino, podcaster, will be #FBI deputy director, #Trump said.

#Bongino, 50, who has worked for the #NYPD & the #SecretService, is a staunch Trump ally who has pushed lies about the 2020 election & other stories.

His appointment, which does NOT require Senate confirmation, means neither of the top two people running the agency has FBI experience.
