1. No, he didn’t do a great job.
2. Yes, he can go back to his show, but I won’t be tuning in. Part of his radio shtick was as kind of a know-it-all who wasn’t shy about dispensing his opinions on everything the FBI, law enforcement, Secret Service etc were/weren’t doing. Now, it’s like, who cares what you think? You had your opportunity to do some of these things rather than just talk, and what do you have to show for it?

I’m not even worried about that, I’m wondering who they will replace him with?

It’s easy to criticize from the outside, but it’s a different story when you have to abide by laws and regulations on the inside.

I guess he didn’t find it so easy. Unfortunate, but I do think he might have done a lot of good. YOu can’t do everything, however.

He was never planning to be at the FBI longer than a year or two. He wanted to go back to his job which was rhe original plan.

Dan Bongino is needed elsewhere.

Now that Charlie Kirk is no longer with us, and TPUSA is a on the ropes, the MAGA movement is experiencing some major setbacks, especially among the young.

Bongino could step back into his role as an online influencer and help unite and rally conservatives to the MAGA cause.

He can never go back. Cooked his goose.

He can go back to being the entertainer like he said he was. I’ve crossed Tucker Carlson off my list, and now I cross him off my list.

No he didn’t. He was hired to work for a year or two and he got his mission accomplished in 1 year and wants to go back to his show. He was never going to DC forever.

No one believes the shooter in Pennsylvania worked alone. They also don’t believe Epstein killed himself. He helped cover it up.

True, we seem to have a number of people on our side that talk a good game but when given the opportunity to actually make change do virtually nothing, whether it’s fixing the FBI, DOJ, or Congress most end up showing their true colors that being grifters

“...who wasn’t shy about dispensing his opinions on everything...”

You mean like Rush? That’s a talk show host’s job...pilgrim.

It does look like it, that he (among others) failed miserably when given a chance.

But you have to remember that these people on the other side have no problem with killing anyone who gets in their way.

Maybe he thought he was incapable of changing the FBI without getting a dirt nap.

Would you give your life to try to clean out the Augean Stable of the FBI, only to be killed, and then, it would still be business as usual? They don't even have the classy 'star on the wall' that the CIA has.

It's a feculent group of thugs.

There’s already a “co-Deputy Director” in place — the former Missouri AG. I’d say it’s almost certain that he will just take on the role himself.

That alone is a strong indication that Bongino simply wasn’t up to the job.

I think there’s a co-deputy already in place who will take over for now.
