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.

Sundance is an idiot. Why he lumps Massie in with DeSantis is beyond me. DeSantis has been an awesome Gov. for the state of Florida.

No, you are just uninformed and ignorant of Sundance's posting concerning DeSantis and those behind them.

If you had kept up with Sundance's writings on DeSantis you would know that this is a reasonable and logical assertion by Sundance concerning DeSantis.

there was an article here I believe yesterday talking about Massie investigating Ray Epps. No one else is doing that that I have heard. If the FBI has any info on the pipe bomber, they won’t tell us. Many of us want the FBI to come clean on J6, their role, influence and what happened but they are stone silent. Thomas Massie must be hitting a nerve for this squeeling from Bongino.

I don’t get the hate. Massie is quite likely the best Congressman right now, bar none. All of the hate for him started when he refused to bow down to AIPAC.

Or, as Sundance states: "At a certain point, everyone eventually gets sick of the Massie operation. FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino has reached that point." Especially since Bongino, as he states in this article, completely made the case that they are exhaustively investigating the J6 affair.

It's not hate, it's just when an important vote is to made Massie joins the Democrats, like the vote to open up the government and end the shut-down. Massie voted with the Democrats.

“Thomas Massie must be hitting a nerve for this squeeling from Bongino.”

He might as well put a D behind his name. He stirs up as much horse$hit as RATS do, and gets paid to do it.

because anti-trump massie supported desanctimonious to run in the primary against Trump?

Rep. Thomas Massie preemptively endorses DeSantis for president
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/2127626/rep-thomas-massie-preemptively-endorses-desantis-for-president/

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) delivered a preemptive endorsement of Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) on Wednesday and encouraged him to enter the 2024 GOP fray.

“America needs a leader who is decisive, respects the Constitution, understands policy, puts family first, and leads by inspiring. That’s why I’m endorsing Ron DeSantis for President,” Massie said in a statement.

Ron DeSantis wanted to be like Trump. Now he’s trying to prove he’s not to win Iowa
https://www.npr.org/2024/01/11/1223959541/ron-desantis-donald-trump-iowa-caucus

DeSantis voters in Iowa even hear an echo of Trump — sort of — at the Florida governor’s events. Before introducing DeSantis, Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie did an impression of the former president, telling crowds about a threat he said Trump once made to him.

“I’m coming at you,” Massie told the crowd in Davenport last weekend, affecting Trump’s distinctive New York accent, to laughter. “I’m more popular than you, and you know it. I’m backing your primary opponent and you’re gonna lose.”

We were told by Bongino in May of 2023 on TimCast that he was told by people in Washington that Epstein was intelligence from “a middle eastern country” and he absolutely did not kill himself.

We were repeatedly told by Bongino that the pipe bombs were an inside job (meaning someone in the FBI did it)

Now we are being told by Bongino that Epstein killed himself and he was just a run of the mill pedo.

We are being told by Bongino not to worry about the Jan 6 setup.

And everyone on FR seems to think that saying the same things in 2025 as we were all saying in 2023 is somehow “liberal” or “Never Trump” or “America Last”.

You people have no scruples.

It’s not hate. It is anger at politicians who are not team players. GOP is a team, like it or not. Enemy of this team is lefty liberal agenda. Similar to a sports team in football or baseball or ice hockey, a team has best chance to win when all players are acting together.

"I don’t get the hate. Massie is quite likely the best Congressman right now, bar none."

There's two reasons: (1) Massie has acted like a genuine idiot.

(2) In the age of Trump, we are all supposed to profess our undying love for spineless GOP Establishment senators and congressmen who never, ever, under any circumstances fight against the democrats.

For, you see,

In the age of Trump the spineless GOP Establishment senators and congressmen won't fight against Trump either.

This is effectively cutting off our noses to spite our faces, because in 3 years from now all of these same GOP Establishment senators and congressmen that everybody is having love affairs with will go right back to not fighting against the Democrats.

It's the one time in our history that a do-nothing GOP Establishment actually does something.

Epstein is a vile dead horse regardless of how he died. MAGA does not advance one inch by wasting time on Epstein.

I’ve had enough of Bongino and Patel. They’re covering up what happened in PA.
