We graduated law school together. Good guy. Really proud of what he’s accomplished.
Wait. Is a co-Deputy the same as a Deputy, or does he answer to the Deputy? Not sure I’ve heard of such a thing.
Well…good! It’s still early innings. If he knows what to do and is ready to get down to business, stay out of his way!
There zre SO MANY INDICTMENTS COMING DOWN THEY NEEDED THIS GUY!
Either Bongino is being forced out or they brought in extra help?
I prefer to think it’s the latter.

Hopefully, the latter.
(Either Bongino is being forced out or they brought in extra help?)
From AI: The position of FBI Deputy Co-Director does not exist. The FBI has a Deputy Director, but not a Deputy Co-Director.
I definitely think it’s one of the two since the position has never existed.
I imagine Bongino is grateful. The work load being assumed by Patel and Bongino in order to clean up the Deep State mess must be colossal.
Far too many people here have any appreciation for the immensity of the problem. It was constructed over a period of a hundred plus years.
I am from Missouri, but I will believe it when I see results.
Hopefully he says as he’s a good guy, but it’s also important to be a good team player, and to air differences internally, not in public. If Bongino throws another hissy and demands “her or me”, this will make the answer very easy.
Bongino is an investigator, Bailey is an attorney. Two separate skill sets, both needed to properly clean house. The optimist in me wants to believe this is to compliment each others’ strengths in doing what needs to be done.
“President Donald Trump plans to appoint Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey to share the role of second-in-command at the FBI as the administration tries to contain tension over its handling of the files related to the case of the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.”

The spinning on this thread is amusing.
The old rule applies:
In DC if you want a friend get a dog.

^^^^^^^^^^^^ THIS, 100% ^^^^^^^^^^^^
Very cool!
Fingers crossed.
“Is a co-Deputy the same as a Deputy”
Yes. He and Bongino are equal — sorry of like each one is half of the same job.
