This is really big. Kash is going to need a deputy that he knows and is sure he can trust.

Dan is that man.

Smart guy and patriotic guy. With Kash and Dan in charge, the FBI might be salvaged yet.

You have to understand, some of those rogue agents might go into a “bunker mentality”, and be uncommonly hard to dislodge. It may take several sweeps to root out all the subterranean rot.

And make the retribution, when it is served, mandatory and final, so some future Democrat regime cannot simply reinstate them.

looking back at Comey and realizing just how corrupt he was

the contrast could not be starker

Brennen, Clapper, et al.

horrible people

Interesting choice

Not really. Bongino has a long career in the Secret Service and has been successful in an entirely unrelated field. He is highly qualified.

A lot of deputies and assistants in the DOJ require Senate confirmation.

I was surprised to learn that despite the size of the FBI this is not true of the FBI. Only the director must be confirmed.

You’re right, of course. Reforming a long-standing, entrenched bureaucracy such as the FBI is a monumental task. But I think Kash and Bongino understand this. It won’t be quick or easy, but, at long last, we are on the right path.

So many of my favorites are getting positions in the new administration....Mike Huckabee; Ric Grenell; Dan Bongino.

Still hoping that General Blaine Holt will be recalled to serve.

Wow! An excellent choice. An illustration of how far the pendulum swung to the left and now its swinging to the right. Good luck to Bongino a real bomb thrower; purple hair tongue and nose rings are out as well as trannys.

This will cause even more heads to explode today. They won’t have weeks to bash him.

“”On top of serving in the NYPD, Bongino’s other Big Apple connection is that he earned a master’s degree in psychology from CUNY, according to Trump.””

Super choice!!! I’ll say that degree will come in handy!!!! There are a lot of people to deal with in DC and that is what is needed. I’m sure Patel and Bondi are pleased..

So happy!

It’s been a while since he was the SS Agent guarding the POTUS (Obama was the last, I think, after Clinton). But there’s a good chance he knows behind-the-scenes stuff re people that could be helpful now.

.....and doing it quickly.

Possible so the results will be apparent before the mid-terms.
