Bongino, the deputy director of the FBI, “is out of control furious,” one source told NBC News. Another said he did not report to work on Friday.
Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino is considering leaving his job after a heated confrontation with Attorney General Pam Bondi over his frustration with how the Justice Department has handled the Jeffrey Epstein files, according to a person who has spoken with Bongino and a source familiar with the interactions that Bongino and FBI Director Kash Patel have had with Bondi.
“Bongino is out of control furious,” the person who has spoken with the deputy FBI director said. “This destroyed his career. He’s threatening to quit and torch Pam unless she’s fired.”
Bongino did not report to work Friday amid speculation about his whereabouts, said a source familiar with the perspectives of DOJ leaders who also believes that Bongino is considering leaving.
I bet my bottom dollar, he doesn't like working a job that requires long hours. The standard 9-5, or even longer at the fbi, is not what he signed up for. He wants to go back to making bank$$$ doing occasional sound bites for fox news and YouTube podcasts.
This fucker is nothing but a grifter. He didn't sign up for a real job with real consequences. He wants to go back to his easy payout gig. I take this to the grave. Charlatan and grifter, nothing more.
Theater. If the FBI really thinks that Pam Bondi is tampering with or has destroyed evidence, they can arrest her, full stop. Like every other law enforcement agency in the USA, they do not need her permission or a warrant if they have probable cause that a crime has been committed.
I can't see Trump firing her, because she knows exactly how to play the game. Bongino is acting like his honest opinion matters, but the only thing that matters is framing things in a way that Trump finds flattering
Edit:
“Since you have been in office, President Trump, your DOJ agencies have seized more than 22 million fentanyl pills, 3,400 kilos of fentanyl, which saved—are you ready for this, media?—258 million lives.” Yes, she turned to the camera for the aside to the media.
