Kash Gets His Wingman: Dan Bongino Named Deputy Director of FBI
t ^ | February 24, 2025 | JD Rucker

Posted on 02/24/2025 5:57:41 AM PST by Red Badger

Former Secret Service Agent Dan Bongino has been named Deputy Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigations, joining Kash Patel who was confirmed as Director last week.

President Donald Trump made the announcement on Truth Social:

Great news for Law Enforcement and American Justice! Dan Bongino, a man of incredible love and passion for our Country, has just been named the next DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF THE FBI, by the man who will be the best ever Director, Kash Patel. Dan has a Masters Degree in Psychology from C.U.N.Y., and an MBA from Penn State. He was a member of the New York Police Department (New York’s Finest!), a highly respected Special Agent with the United States Secret Service, and is now one of the most successful Podcasters in the Country, something he is willing and prepared to give up in order to serve. Working with our great new United States Attorney General, Pam Bondi, and Director Patel, Fairness, Justice, Law and Order will be brought back to America, and quickly. Congratulations Dan!

Conservative media will miss having Bongino’s popular podcast airing every day, but taking Patel’s offer was something he just couldn’t refuse.

A guy I actually trust.

But how can we stand a day without Dan talking about how he hates to talk about himself, and doing it for 25% of his show?

Coach Trump’s philosophy.

You can never have too much alpha male on the offensive line.

Christmas every day for a month.

Wow. Trump has already surpassed expectations. In one month.

He has 3 years and 11 months to go.

Kash Patel has been named temporary head of the ATF.

I’m assuming Trump wants to combine it into the FBI............

The ATF is toast. They need to be buried and forgotten.

He only has two months and a week before his 100 days are done. This is the best time to get in his major reforms. This must be done on “Trump Time” as I think he best get it all done in two years—because the Democraps will bend every effort, spend billions, say anything, lie, cheat and use media to win back the House and Senate. Then, with their RINO allies they will stop Trumps agenda cold or impeach him for jaywalking. The people have poor memories and a good scandal—real or imagined, will boost the Liberals back in power like the Covid pandemic did. If they get back the house—heaven help us.

FBI in no way should touch the ATF, they are commercial product regulator and have much more to do with commerce and agriculture.

The regulation of Alcohol and Tobacco at a national level should go to department of Agriculture with some reporting up to commerce and BLS. The states have a very good lock down on both locally with inspection, funding research and safety. So the load will be similar to cotton at department of Ag, 250 employees max running some test facilities to do research, collect some stats the industry will partner with. Using Cotton as an example of public private partnership is great example of what has not been corrupted because nobody in the liberal class wanted a “pickin on cotton” headline, and really the industry is 2000 farmers and 50 gins before it becomes the commercial product we all see.

Firearms at a national level, takes zero employees to understand the 2nd amendment. Ill give them 300 employees to destroy any records they might hold for the next year, but the ATF is really should be stuck into commerce and have zero investigations. The labs can be sent to the DOJ in a research on demand arm, a second source to the FBI labs, we need that friction of ATF and FBI being rivals.

“But how can we stand a day without Dan talking about how he hates to talk about himself, and doing it for 25% of his show?”

And whining about various “insults” that nobody but him cares a whit about.

Please...please...please. Let’s see some 3 AM raids on corruptocrat homes, handcuffs, frog-marching to awaiting vehicles, trials and (where appropriate) convictions...and sentences being carried out. Justice must out!

Great Choice.

They don’t come any better than Dan Bongino.

Patel and Bongino will restore confidence in our Legal system.

Such a list of lying criminal Communist Democrats to process.
