FBI Deputy Director Bongino Has Had Enough of the Thomas Massie Nonsense
The Last Refuge ^ | November 13, 2025 | Sundance

Posted on 11/13/2025 1:04:42 PM PST by SoConPubbie

Representative Thomas Massie is one of the primary Alligator Emoji antagonists. His intended mission is always to undermine efforts by any MAGA policy or objective, and to sow division in order to maintain his purpose on behalf of people who do not have America’s interests in mind.

Thomas Massie has been bad news for a long time and is ABSOLUTELY, UNDENIABLY a walking visible representation of the attitude, disposition and intents of the narrow-minded tribe that travels under the DeSantis banner.

Yesterday, in his latest operation to divide the MAGA base, which is his primary mission – and has been for a long time, Thomas Massie used the background sentiment of distrust in the FBI, which is valid – but in this example also serves his purpose, to claim the FBI was targeting ‘whistleblowers’ who have grifted themselves into optimal financial position around the issue of the J6 pipe bomber.

[SOURCE]

At a certain point, everyone eventually gets sick of the Massie operation. FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino has reached that point.

[BONGINO – X] “Congressman Massie, When Director Patel and I entered on duty in our leadership positions in the FBI we had our hands full, but we were happy to be part of the President’s team, and we still are.

Despite the multitude of challenges we faced, one of our first initiatives was to aggressively pursue a new strategy to investigate the January 6 pipe bomb, terror attack. We brought in new personnel to take a look at the case, we flew in police officers and detectives working as TFOs (task force officers) to review FBI work, we conducted multiple internal reviews, held countless in person and SVTC meetings with investigative team members, we dramatically increased investigative resources, and we increased the public award for information in the case to utilize crowd-sourcing leads.”

“This is only a small sample of the work the FBI personnel and leadership team have put into this critical investigation.

When I spoke with you yesterday a little after 8am ET (screenshots attached), I offered you an in-person brief on our work. We spoke for ten minutes.

I called you back a bit after 7:30pm ET to again make that offer. You didn’t answer and have yet to call me back.
Despite this, you continue to imply that the Director and I are targeting investigators in the case. This is disgusting, even by the low standards many have for politicians. You know my number, and you’re free to call me anytime. But it’s easier to tweet and throw BS bombs.

Yes, our leadership team will be meeting with FBI team members today, and we will avail them of all the whistleblower resources they need to disclose ANY evidence of malfeasance in the prior administration. And we will ask about threads that may have gone un-pulled under prior leadership, because we are passionate about solving this case.

But a week of near 24-hour work on RECENT open-source leads in the case has yet to produce a breakthrough, and some of the media reporting regarding prior persons of interest is grossly inaccurate and serves only to mislead the public.

I proudly serve in this administration, and I proudly work with Director Patel to reform and advance the crime fighting and national security missions of the FBI. We would love to have you as a partner in this mission, rather than a dog barking behind a fence.” {SOURCE}

While I have my differences with positions and actions of the FBI for a long time, what Massie is trying to do with this pre-existing, background sentiment deserves the full pushback he is receiving from Deputy Director Dan Bongino.

Massie has been playing a game for a long time. It is a toxic and divisive game, and he deserves full dispatch.

"You don’t go to war with the army you want, you go to war with the army you have."

Please do not promote pretended myths.

The GOP Establishment is no army. This is a label they have not earned and do not deserve.

Thank you.

During the Obama years, during the Bush years, and also the Biden years and yes in the next presidency once again we will see the GOP Establishment make it a point to surrender to Democrats. It is what they do. Republicans from the establishment are unequivocally NOT an army.

We have no army.

At least with Trump there is something there, far from perfect, but still, the alternative is much much worse.

It’s not hate. It is anger at politicians who are not team players. GOP is a team,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The team sport that you are promoting has gotten us into this mess.

Massie should represent his district and their interest. My rep should represent my district and our interest.

To maintain the “team” too many compromises and pork get put into legislation and eventually we end up with the uniparty.

Revenge on Massie for pushing release of the Epstein Files can there be any doubt.

Massie and Rand dream of casting the deciding vote in another Trump sham impeachment. They are the enemy inside the wire. Just remember when they vote with the democrats it’s only because they are just so damn conservative.

Mark harbors intense opposition to DeSantis and frustration over the political success DeSantis and his coalition have achieved in Florida. After being compensated to post content during the primary elections, he now finds himself struggling as DeSantis supporters have consolidated their dominance over the state’s political landscape.

DeSantis did not have to challenge Trump in 2024. It was intended to weaken Trump by forcing him to spend campaign funds on a primary DeSantis had no chance of winning. Follow the money, which was funding DeSantis, and you find NeverTrumpers.

AIPAC has a playbook, they run it over and over, and apparently it always works.

Unfortunately it would probably take a decade(24/7) to sort through all the corruption(including poison pills, land mines, time bombs), and another decade to bring folks to "justice" (assuming THAT isn't PART OF the corruption).

Trump has (realistically) a little over a year...much less if you consider mid-term campaigning.

How long has "lock her up" been around?

Last time I checked her and her "husband" were still stink'n up the place.

Trusting "the system" is like driving a car with no brakes on a mountain road.

The system is broke...by design.

It would probably take less time to demolish/reconstruct than to repair/rebuild...one way or the other it would require safe-guarding from (if not identifying/purging) the parasites who rigged/doomed the system to begin with...or they'll just immediately go after the new (host) system.

Considering the amount of brain-fornicated, the lethargic, the plain old ignorant among the population in this era?...I don't see it happening...without some kind of "divine intervention".

This is(was) textbook "how empires fall" stuff...the signs were all there...humanity just never learns the most basic lesson of..."see a bad guy doing bad things, get rid of the bad guy".

Instead we became a society of... letting junior strike matches in the middle of the living room, while we go out and VOTE for someone (a match salesman) to stop it.

I don’t get the hate. ... All of the hate for him started when he refused to bow down to AIPAC.

So you do get the hate.

Pro-Israel donors unload on Trump's toughest GOP critic [Massie]

Massie is an ideologue, not a team player, similar to Rand Paul. The GOP has slim margins in the House and Senate. Every vote counts. Massie has been a no vote on so many votes that are key Trump agenda items. He has been a minority of one. His constituents voted overwhelmingly for Trump and his agenda.

Exactly. If you’re in Congress and are not “Israel First”, you must be destroyed.

We may be reaching a critical moment where enough people are aware of and willing to reject the “Israel First” ideology. I say “Good Riddance”, tying America to Israel has only caused hate, death, and destruction in the world.

reasonable and logical assertion by Sundance

Sundance making a "reasonable and logical assertion" would be a first.

And this is *not* that first. It is as ridiculous as everything else.

So your argument is that “The Joos” hypnotized Massie into casting all of these votes and being a thorn in the Republicans’ side, constantly allying with the Democrats, pushing ridiculous rhetoric to just be an attention hog, etc.?
