FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino vowed on Saturday to uncover the “truth” in a cryptic post on the social platform X, proclaiming that “we cannot run a Republic like this.”

Bongino said that he and FBI Director Kash Patel are committed to “stamping out public corruption and the political weaponization of both law enforcement and intelligence operations.”

“It is a priority for us. But what I have learned in the course of our properly predicated and necessary investigations into these aforementioned matters, has shocked me down to my core. We cannot run a Republic like this. I’ll never be the same after learning what I’ve learned,” the deputy director wrote. It is unclear what Bongino was referring to. The Hill has reached out to the FBI for additional comment.

Bongino, a former Secret Service agent and podcaster, was at the center of the debate over the files related to disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein earlier this month.

1. I'll wait to be impressed.

[irisblue]

2. I do wonder if Bongino is the leaker

3. It's a distraction

Those two aren't going to do shit.

6. This! All of this!

Unless they're willing to be martyrs (how will they continue to fund their high society lifestyle?), then this is all part of the republican coverup. The whole republican party is total 👉💩

[Gordcanuck]

16. Yes, it seems

“ There’s nothing there, there.”

[Attilatheblond]

21. Especially Kash 'I'll just work from home and stay safe' Patel

How much do WE pay him?

[Bengus81]

4. So just fucking RESIGN Bongo. Show us you really back up your statements then and now

[Klaus Hergersheimer]

7. Bovagino should go as he promised

That jerk said that either Pam Blondie must go or else he would go. So far neither has gone anywhere. Since his only goal in life, as he has said, is to 'game the libs' he could do that better back at Fox Noise than at the FBI. Of course he enjoys the power, pay and perks from his job as ASSistant FBI director. Ironically, he looks so mean he would be a natural on the FBIs 10 Most Wanted list. What a creep!

5. Anyone know what he's talking about?

it's very likely to be the opposite. I think Bongino and Patel are complicit and enabling the corruption around the Epstein files. They'll claim they're just following orders or some weak nonsense like that. That defense was not accepted during the Nuremburg trials after the holocaust.

Weird to claim there is so much cryptic corruption when he's in charge. What is he doing about it?

[Callie1979]

17. I guess he feels like they've had enough time to make up "files" with Dems in them

Pizzagate all over again
On the .1% chance he MEANS what he says & has found something on trump, we'll probably never hear from him again

[Quanto Magnus]

19. the big difference being

none of these people will be held accountable.

[Mr. Mustard 2023]

8. Sounds like an attempt to create a diversion

from all the debacles, but especially from Trump's BFF Jeffrey Epstein.

[Sneederbunk]

9. I hang on Bongino's every word.

[Mysterian]

10. Oh yeah. Bonghead spewing how to run a republic.

I'd rather take car repair advice from Julia Child.

[Grins]

11. And if the evidence shows that Trump raped 14-year old girls (plural)..

…you would do what, Bongino?

Make it public and demand DoJ prosecute?
Think the MAGA would stand for that?

Appoint a Special Prosecutor because, thanks to your conservative Reich-wing media, no one trusts your DoJ anymore?

[BoRaGard]

12. Bongo's deep state bleatings (R)

and his whining - are distasteful.

Put up or shut up, you republicon rumor rat, you.

[SouthBayDem]

13. Where does the buck stop then, Dan?

We don't pay you to just talk on social media - go up the freakin' chain of command.

[LudwigPastorius]

14. Put up, or shut up, Mr. Mangina.

[SunSeeker]

15. Why don't you start by releasing the Epstein files?

Also, the tapes of the meetings Todd Blanch just had with Ghislaine Maxwell.

Otherwise, STFU and quit.

[FakeNoose]

18. He wants to stamp out corruption ... fine! Kash Patel IS the corruption.

Start with Patel ... then we'll see.

[Jacson6]

20. You can't handle the troof!

[Evolve Dammit]

22. Marching orders will prevail as this crew has NO IDEA WTF they are doing, except follow Der Fuerher. And obviously could

care less about the rule of law and their "oath" they took. Hell, Drumpf didn't touch the Bible this time when he was sworn in. Probably counts as having fingers crossed behind my back.
Never have we seen such blatant disregard for anything American. All on Putin's payroll? At least Paul Ryan brought that up 8 years ago.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

23. Boingo's one of the best and brightest of the Trump braintrust

That's what one gets when the only qualification to be in this cabinet is how well the kiss Dear Leader's oversized ass.
