Appearing on "Fox & Friends," Bongino said the investigation that cost taxpayers at least $30 million knew early on that there was no collusion.
"Here’s what everybody's missing on this thing," he told the Fox News early morning crew. "Yes, there’s no collusion. We've known — that's not the story okay? Everybody who's followed this case has known this for two years, that there's no collusion."
"The real problem here is Bob Muller did a thorough investigation, tens of millions of dollars, and stacked his team with Democrats, had people viciously trying to go after Donald Trump, and they could not vindicate one thing in the dossier — which we now know was nearly the entire basis for the FBI case,” he said.
Repeating that everybody knows there was no collusion, Bongino pointed to the "really damaging thing here."
"It's that the FBI investigated the president of the United States' team based on a dossier that laid out a collusion scandal that we now know conclusively was absolute garbage."
The dossier being the largely discredited Christopher Steele dossier bought and paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign.
"Surveilled his campaign," Bongino said, responding to co-host Ed Henry. "Employed a human intelligence asset to spy on an opposing political campaign and Bob Muller COULD NOT vindicate one single collusion charge."
He said we know this because Mueller "has never charged one single person with a conspiracy charge related to this Russian collusion scandal."
THAT'S THE BIG STORY, I can't say this enough," he added.
Co-host Katie Pavlich brought up the political consequences of what took place.
"Clearly, the DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE and the FBI were USED as a POLITICAL WEAPONS FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES against a political campaign they opposed," she said.
Citing a REPORT from Fox News chief intelligence correspondent Catherine Herridge, Pavlich said the WHITE HOUSE counsel under former PRESIDENT OBAMA may have been briefed on what was going on with the FISA applications in the case, which led to the Trump campaign being surveilled.
Which places the OBAMA WHITE HOUSE FINGERPRINTS ALL OVER THE CASE.
"We have new texts now from [Deputy Director of the FBI] Andy McCabe to Lisa Page and in one of those texts, specifically in October, before the [2016] election, McCabe is referencing a meeting at the White House including the deputy director of the CIA about this case," Bongino said, referencing the report.
"Think about how devastating this is now," he added.
"They format and base their entire case on a DOSSIER we now know is COMPLETE GARBAGE alleging a Russian collusion scandal with Carter Page — it never happened — and now we know from these McCabe texts that the White House is intimately involved in this the entire time."
"They basically had a movie script, a fake movie script they followed on Donald Trump that was nonsense — it was a fiction tale that they used to spy on [Trump's campaign], WEAPONIZE their INTELLIGENCE ASSETS assets."
More importantly, this revelation may explain the partisan actions from former CIA director John Brennan, and from disgraced former FBI director James Comey.
Comey had a source leak the contents of his conversations with Trump to the press in order to prompt a special counsel investigation.
And Bongino said COMEY’S "REPUTATION IS FINISHED."
He cited an FBI process called the "Woods Procedure" to say that Comey has serious liability here — in effect, that the former FBI director had to swear under oath that the information presented in the FISA applications was true.
Yawn. Wake me up when the first indictment comes out.
Hey Big Jim everyone at Free Republic has your Golden Showers right here!
It was an attempted coup. Financed by us.
Dan Bongino has collated all the strings. he has exposed this treachery by the obamaroid administration and in the process exposed the Clinton campaign as the REAL COLLUDERS using fabricated Russian stories.
The report will try its best to cover that up. That is what mueller was hired to do. He’s going to write up that there was good suspicion that required Trump to be investigated. But he didn’t have enough hard evidence because most of it exists in Russia to bring a President and his family to trial. Therefore he chose not to prosecute.
one more thing...
Rosenstein formulated the letter that lead to Jim Comey’s firing, which Comey said triggered the Special Counsel Mueller. The story is perhaps ‘insurance’ as in Obstruction of Justice by the firing. Everything in this situation is not by coincidence.
They knew there was no collusion because they themselves were colluding with the Russians. Steele was simultaneously on contract with Fusion and the Russians. Fusion was simultaneously on contract with DNC and the Russians. Podesta was on contract to the Russians while serving the Clintons and Obamas. And the Clintons themselves took millions from the Russians (and Chinese, and Saudis...)
They knew there was no collusion, but they assumed that a man with a complex empire like Trump’s must have cut corners somewhere, and if they dug long enough deep enough they were bound to find something.
And in the end they found nothing. They went after his personal lawyer, who would gladly have sold Trump out if he could, and he is going to prison because he had nothing of value to offer. Manafort is going to prison because he had nothing of value to trade for his freedom. They went after several others, with the same result. It turns out that Trump, despite all appearances and despite his flaws, is much more a straight shooter than anyone imagined, even perhaps straighter even than his supporters imagined.

...”The dossier being the largely discredited Christopher Steele dossier bought and paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign”.....
Lets not forget...”delivered by John McCain!”
John McCain this Golden Shower on your grave is a thanks for the memories.
It was painfully obvious that it was a coup when that rat bastard jeff sessions and his good buddy rotten rod launched it years ago.
Why would AG BARR issue a ‘report’ from an illegitimate, illegal ‘investigation’(coup attempt)?
These high treason co-conspirators should’ve been rounded up the moment they launched the ‘special counsel’.
I disdained the man ever since he handed the election over to Obama without a fight......he’s why we got Obama! He was a traitor his entire life and all those who still cover for him!
“Clearly, the DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE and the FBI were USED as a POLITICAL WEAPONS FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES against a political campaign they opposed,”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This was after the running of guns to Mexican cartels to undermine the 2nd Amendment and using the IRS to go after political opponents.
Also after covering up the Benghazi attack.
LET’S KEEP IGNORING THAT FOUNDERS WERE RIGHT.
THEY SAID NATURAL BORN CITIZENS ONLY.
Barack Obama was born a British subject and Kenyan national wherever he was born.
He is not naturally an American.
Natural born citizens are naturally citizens because they cannot possibly be anything else.
Born here of citizen parents.
They were trying to develop evidence that would make the dossier believable, at least to the extent they could justify the FISA warrant.
Bongino has been slow on the uptake but he’s come around. He bought into the 3d chess bs that sessions, huber and horowitz were going to come through. He’s not the only one, sarah carter, etc.
Barry R McCaffreyVerified account @mccaffreyr3 · 18h18 hours ago Many Nat Sec issues washed out by months of focus on Mueller. He is a model public servant of enormous experience, integrity, and maturity. NO FURTHER INDICTMENTS FROM HIS OFFICE FOR RUSSIAN COLLUSION. Legal action will continue in other fora.
John: all the assets you weaponized against me are being outed in London, Canberra and Rome. Mifsud, Halper, Downer, Tawil etc. congress has the names, my testimony and foreign governments are now cooperating with the Trump administration to out the rest. Good luck.— George Papadopoulos (@GeorgePapa19) March 20, 2019
