Like so many here I'd love to see Dan Bongino get that spot.
Since one of the top candidates was said to be his chief bodyguard, I was thinking it was smart not to make the man annoyed by not making it clear who was going to get that job. Keep him wondering. And protecting.
Because he wants to live past January 21st.
Hey! It’s a SECRET.
Have to take a big haircut salary wise..
Bonginio is more effective with his radio show, IMHO.
I agree with you here. Bongino is more useful in bringing up issues than using his body and never being able to talk about it.
Yes, I did see one headline about three weeks ago that he was picked.
I too would like to see better confirmation than that.
Same with Steve Bannon.
Trump needs someone on the outside looking in for added perspective.
It is a good question. Maybe he’s waiting to get a better feel on who to axe and replace and who to keep. Things take a little time, and I’m sure he is making plans.
Agreed, Dan is good at connecting the dots. Also, I’m sure his contacts in the SS are on the same page he is.
He has to be protected by the current guys now. This appointment should probably wait until closer to inauguration.
Re Bongino: Dan would be a great hire for Director, but I see him more as chairman of a board of visitors that reviews the structure and behavior of the SS. Put a Special Forces colonel (retired or currently active) at the helm of the agency.
I don’t know if Bongino has sufficient adminstrative experience and skills. Being a rank and file worker doesn’t mean people are qualified or competent to run the show.
I have heard that and unfortunately most who have the qualifications you are referring to are not qualified as to what the job is. Protecting the president
Got enough weasel paper pushers
Possibly playing it close to the vest.
Because it is a secret?
I believe that he has produced a clone of Lavrentiy Pavlovich Beria and the experienced secret-service leader has the inside track...
Bingo. If the current Director THINKS he has a chance at staying on under Trump, then perhaps he might work a bit harder to keep Trump alive past then.
That’s most likely the reason.
Bongino has repeatedly said no one has contacted him.
He also probably doesn’t want the pay cut
