The new FBI orifice in Nome, with emergency pursuit vehicle.

In a resurfaced video drawn attention to on X (formerly Twitter) in the wake of President Trump announcing his nomination to the position of Deputy Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), since-confirmed Deputy Director Dan Bongino, just a podcaster and FNC personality at the time of the clip, called for all the FBI agents involved in the stunning raid on Mar-a-Lago to be fired.
The interview from which the resurfaced clip came occurred on Sean Hannity’s show on Fox News Channel in the wake of the FBI’s stunning raid on then-former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home on August 8, 2022. In the interview, Bongino sounded off on the FBI’s North Korea-style tactics, alleging that they were perverting ideas about criminal justice long held in America. Bongino’s interview with Hannity on the matter occurred just days after the raid.
Beginning the clip, Bongino contrasted the seal-like clapping of the American media for the raid with Pravda, the Soviet propaganda outlet, claiming that the American media is somehow worse. As he put it, “How many freaking times are we gonna let the FBI interfere in an election? I mean, this is supposed to be a constitutional republic. I’m not crazy, right? Like, this is supposed to be a representative democracy. Banana Republic … we’re beyond a banana republic, we’re into like tin pot dictator, Third World style. This is embarrassing. At least Pravda didn’t pretend to be anything but state apparatchiks. ”
Continuing, the former Secret Service agent who is now the number 2 man at the FBI declared that everyone involved with the raid should be fired, from the reception to the top-level management. He said, “And then listen, I’ve been with you for a while. I work with a lot of decent guys. I’m done with the “rank-and-file” stuff, too. I’m done with it. If you took part in this, anyone who took part in this, anyone, I don’t care who you are, an analyst or an upper-level manager, the next president who comes in office, they should Schedule F as many people as they can in the federal government and fire every single person involved in this. Everyone. The receptionist in the FBI office who took a call on this should be fired. We are not a Third World republic, supposedly.”
Getting to his point about North Korea and the justice system, Bongino explained that Americans used to have very different ideas of crime and punishment than dictatorships, but then-President Biden and his FBI goons were letting the mask drop by acting like communist thugs. As he put it, “Sean, the difference between us and Kim Jong Un, right, is that we investigate crimes, and then we look for people. We don’t investigate people, and then look for crimes.”
Emphasizing that point, Bongino noted that the raid on Trump looks much more like the FBI in search of a crime than it trying to find who was responsible for one it already knew existed, saying, “That is exactly what’s going on. How many times are they going to investigate Donald Trump for how many different things before the American people wake up and realize this isn’t an investigation of a crime in search of a person, but a person in search of a crime.”
Concluding, Bongino noted that he had left his job in federal law enforcement because he disagreed with what was going on within it, so he has no patience for those making the “they were jsut doing their jobs” argument. Beginning that epic takedown of a concluding, Bongino said, “And let me just add, you know, one last thing on this, folks. You know, I left my job, so no one’s going to lecture me, ‘Oh, Dan, what would you do if you just…’ There’s no more, ‘We’re just doing our job.’ You swore an oath to the Constitution! Have some balls, man!”
He added, on that same point, “I left my job because I couldn’t take what was going on. I gave up my pension and everything because something else mattered. You’re not going to lecture me on anything if you were involved in this constitutional abomination to our constitutional republic. You don’t deserve your job today, and you will get no backing from me or anybody I know in the conservative movement going forward. You flush your credibility down the toilet.”
Drawing attention to the old clip in a post on February 22, 2025, conservative podcaster and X personality Benny Johnson wrote, “🔥🔥THROWBACK: Newly appointed Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino going full savage calling to axe every last fed involved in the Mar-a-Lago raid.” Watch the clip here:

“I miss his podcasts as well..............”
With an F-Bomb every other sentence? No thanks.
Alternatively, “Oracle” Jesse Kelly’s podcasts are “on point” and family-friendly. (iHeart or WMAL-FM).
Jesse Kelly fills that “weekend void” of conservative talk-radio. Tips on dining-out a plus, from the “Menu-Whisperer”.
Less talk, more action.
They are very infamous for murdering people.
The raid was a disgrace.
However, unless someone voluntarily did something wrong, they should not get fired.
I don’t see FBI folks with Trump leanings being sent.
And I’m guessing one can request not to be assigned, whether that request matters I don’t know.
If some poor schlep had no choice but to go...I dunno..I’m usually never for wholesale firing in situations like this.
Take a look at their backgrounds and their actions on that day.
The new FBI orifice in Nome, with emergency pursuit vehicle.
it is them or freedom
Yep. lots of talk, no action. Trump admin should not be telegraphing their punches. They should just act.
Hasn’t the HRT whacked more people than James Butler Hickok?
My son retired as a Navy Captain because of obummer.
There were many patriots that couldn't take the corruption and quit.
He didn't just say it, he did it.
Read the article. Dan Bongino made these comments only a few days after the raid in 2022.
Such an investigation should be made of all the major controversies and the major controversial actions of the Democrat Party and their minions. It should be done promptly. Multiple investigations can take place simultaneously.
I don't care what the truth is. I want it exposed. I think most Americans agree.
I for one have no hope of expecting anything to come of Dan’ s opinion .
I figure if he was serious he wouldnt be blabbing his plans all over the map .
IZf what he is saying is a serious call to action it would have already been started.
He certainly hasnt started a “ investigation” either.
Ihad high hopes for Bondi and Company ( ies).
Its all just gibble gabble and paper tigers.
This was from before he was even asked to be #2 FBI. Biden was still POTUS....kinda...................

The raid was conducted from the beginning in bad faith:
They falsely staged the materials taken with “classified markers” which THEY brought.
The went through Barron’s room and Melania’s panty drawers(*), while “leaking” to the press they were looking for “”nuclear secrets”.
(*) search warrants require specificity. Let’s see her panty drawer in the warrant, troll.
They need to pull in the top management of CNN and ask them how they “just happen to be on location” for such events and why they only covered Trump’s Butler, Pennsylvania, Rally.
The only exception to this, imo, are those who can prove to have acted within the law.
You mean like the concentration camp guards in 40s era Europe?
What has Dan done for us lately?
No, I mean with in the law. Just because those who headed the operation knew they were breaking the law does not mean the foot FBI agents knew they were breaking the law.
If a foot FBI agent can demonstrate that he was given false information and acted within the the law, he’s fine. Wray and McCabe knew full well, but you don’t know what information they fed to those lower down.
