FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino appears on Fox News shortly after Director Kash Patel to outline his perspectives on the investigation into the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
Deputy Bongino also wants viewers to know the investigation has been emotionally challenging for him due to his friendship with Charlie Kirk. Thankfully, Bongino notes he expects to be okay as the investigation continues. WATCH:

It has to be rough. All the conservative Podcasters, media, and YTubers knew and were friends with each other. Charlie touched the lives of so many.
You’ve got this, Dan.
Dan Bongino would probably love to bash some ANTIFA Tranny Mafia heads right now but has to restrain himself. He knows what’s going in America, with all the subversives in the media and educational institutions (and also in the FBI). It is going to take time to clean out the decades of human garbage rotting in society (starting with the democrat party).
I watched Brett Cooper and as you said she had personal memories of Charlie’s caring and forthrightness.
I believe he has the will and ability to operate as two separate persons, and the emotions of one will not affect the ability of the other.
Bongino will heal, ... after the investigation is properly completed.
Lovely.
By all accounts, Bongino and Kirk were not only close professionally and ideologically, but personally as well.
Of course it is going to be a struggle for him, knowing him as well as he did. They weren’t just people who held the same beliefs. They planned events together, appeared together, interviewed each other, that kind of thing.
There are a lot of people on and off Free Republic who like to hammer both Bongino and Patel because they didn’t nuke the entire agency within minutes of being sworn in.
Those types of people are also “useful idiots” for the Left, as they are dutifully played by the Leftist Media which has its own vectors of attack on Trump going on regarding the discord inside the FBI, people are engaged in internecine warfare, fighting each other, the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing, that kind of thing.
Don’t let those kinds of responses to this tragedy get you down.
Patel and Bongino are two people we can trust to do the best job possible inside that framework.
The Deep State and Leftism were not born overnight, and they won’t be eradicated overnight. This battle to reverse their perfidy is going to take years, and multiple administrations to even begin.
🙄
Patel and Bongino are two people we can trust to do the best job possible inside that framework.

Well said.
“Patel and Bongino are two people we can trust to do the best job possible inside that framework.”
I think it is unseemly for Patel to brag about his hands on role in capturing the shooter. After all the father turned him in. Patel comes across as desperate to please Trump.
There has been no purge of the J6 bad actors from the FBI yet. What’s the hold up?
Thank you for a well written assessment. I will keep this in mind when I hear or read the negativity. Divisiveness is not what is needed now—thanks for reminding of its roots.
Love Bongino!
This just made think about what would it be like if Trump had not won in 2024. The FBI under Chris Shay wouldn’t even be looking for the killer. The press conference would have been basically, “Whoops, it looks like he got away.”
It was just a piece of shrapnel.
