Deputy Director Dan Bongino States He and Kash Patel will Begin FBI Reform “by Next Week”
Conservative Treehouse ^ | May 26, 2025 | Sundance

Posted on 05/27/2025 10:48:22 AM PDT by george76

Thank you for your patience. Apparently, public backlash from the Kash Patel and Dan Bongino interview with Maria Bartiromo has penetrated the membrane around them.

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino announces the FBI “reform teams” will likely be in place next week. From there, they will begin reviewing subjects of interest to the American people, including: (1) the J6 pipe bomber, (2) the White House cocaine user, and (3) the Dobbs leaker.

...

The Director and I will have most of our incoming reform teams in place by next week. The hiring process can take a little bit of time, but we are approaching that finish line. This will help us both in doubling down on our reform agenda.

Shortly after swearing in, the Director and I evaluated a number of cases of potential public corruption that, understandably, have garnered public interest. We made the decision to either re-open, or push additional resources and investigative attention, to these cases. These cases are the DC pipe bombing investigation, the cocaine discovery at the prior administration’s White House, and the leak of the Supreme Court Dobbs case. I receive requested briefings on these cases weekly and we are making progress. If you have any investigative tips on these matters that may assist us then please contact the FBI.

The Director and I have done only one media interview together. We decided early on to limit our media footprint overall in order to keep the attention on the work being done. There are both positives and negatives to this approach. We have chosen to communicate, in writing, on this platform to fill some of the inevitable information vacuums. I try to read as much of your feedback as possible, but the workday is busy, and my office is a SCIF with limited phone access. In response to feedback, both positive and negative, from our interview last week we will be releasing more information which will further clarify answers to some of the questions asked in the interview

I’m starting to see that some of these guys were great on talk shows and pod casts, but as far as getting things done, they are flops.

Talk is cheap, and they’ve both done just too much talking.

Besides political service, I’m not exactly sure what it is the FBI does these days? But I’m sure if I ask loud and long enough I will find out.

What is the standard amount of time needed to completely revamp a huge corrupt federal agency?

They should try to find out who ordered the hits on Trump.

I’ve realized the only measure of any reform shows itself in court dockets and payroll suspensions. Anything else is just Foofoo fluff words, like “Bombshell, Hugh, and Series”.

3 assassination attempts ..

Remember the Michael Steven Sandford assassination attempt on Trump in 2016 – Las Vegas ? – Plus the other two.

He’s trying to communicate the realities, but for some people it’s never enough, never good enough

I’d love to know how some of those bitching on this thread would perform under similar circumstances. Well, actually I already know...

I get that it takes time to get a team in place and they have only been in office a couple months. And that you want to plan sweeping reforms carefully and not go off half-cocked for PR reasons. But the leadership has to be careful how it explains what it is doing. Saying things like “it will be in place next week” or “at a later date” is bad optics. Just say we are in the middle of working on it and that we have to plan carefully. Then make the announcement when they actually do something.

“The hiring process can take a little bit of time”

no kidding: these FBI investigators must be proven to be free of corruption, free from TDS, and proven to be uninvolved in the scandals they’ll be investigating, STARTING with those who will be investigating those investigators! ... the process is not too dissimilar to shoveling out the Augean Stables ...

I was a major fan of Patel and Bongino until (IIRC) they both said that Epstein death was a suicide, and respectfully, I suspect otherwise.

I expected better from them, and they will need to produce much better work, on a sustained basis, for them to begin to regain my trust.

Just my opinion, comments welcome.

I wish Trump would just declassify everything regarding January sixth. Make them fess up to their collusion with the democrats. They continue refusing to release things. Declassify and order the release of names and official emails/text messages of every agent or asset involved. Let the public see the truth.
