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.
A crime has been committed against me, an American voter!
The basic plot is as simple as a firty cop planting evidence in your car.
Mueller did this for the democrat party but mainly for the $30 million that went to his law firm.
The FBI and DOJ were complicit I this effort at treason
I know it’s frus to watch as people aren’t indicted. Don’t get complacent the commies tried to over throw a duly elected president
Which makes worse
I’m with you. Don’t mind Dano publishing the facts, but we are experiencing Tom Sawyer’s fence.
“It is easier to fool people than it is to convince them they have been fooled.”

Do I have this right? I did a cursory online search, can't find it, however.
I do recall wondering just how whomever made the allegations (shrilly whining for a few recounts, also IIRC) would have such info?
Does my memory serve here?
“Yawn. Wake me up when the first indictment comes out.”
Now we wait om the Huber report.
The Obama White House is absolutely involved. It goes right into the Oval Office. We know this because of the Susan Rice email, written on Jan 20 just hours before Trump’s inauguration, memorializing a Jan 5 meeting with Obama, Rice and other DOJ/FBI officials.
Rice’s email seems like an attempt to exonerate Obama personally. But what it definitely does do is show that at some point it reached the Oval Office.
There is also the matter of the unmasking of communications that took place by White House staff.
They manufactured that evidence. The wiretap warrants were for Carter Page. Page had been an FBI informant to help capture Russian spies in the past. When he joined the Trump advisory board the FBI turned on him, flipped the script, and said Page’s connections to Russians+Trump was evidence of possible infiltration justifying a wiretap. They appear to have omitted in their documents to the court that Page was an FBI cooperator.
They had the dossier, they said it was from a ‘reliable source’ But they knew Steele was biased, and was being paid by multiple sources including DNC/Hillary campaign money. Bruce Ohr told Congress that he informed the DOJ and FBI to be wary of Steele’s info in the summer of 2016.
The CIA among others also appear to have attempted to set-up George Popodoupolos in an elaborate scheme involving Maltese Professor Misfud, Cambridge Professor Halper, Australian Ambassador to the UK, and a fake meeting with a woman who was introduced as “Putin’s niece” to try to trap him and create the appearance that he was the link between Trump and Putin.
The Trump Tower meeting was a similar scheme to create the appearances of collusion.
The entire escapade was an intelligence operation targeting the political opposition. This is incredibly dangerous. Justice must be served for the rule of law and Republic to stand.
This is one of their practices, to invite you to a dinner or a function where a Russian will be present, present because they themselves invited them, and then use that as “evidence” to surveil you.
They also did it to Flynn.
As for Page, I’m not 100% sure he wasn’t a witting participant. Based on his past, I would expect he was in on it, though he says he was not.
McLame is far worse then Gen. Robert E. Lee. Thusly, McLame’s grave should be desecrated and removed, never to be seen again.
Molehead and his firm need to be sued, with all participating reported to the state bar!!
I would think this an easy case. He had to know from the get go that Trump had done nothing wrong and the clintons and obamas and company did.
I see the potential for a very damaging 4th amendment law suit by Page against the FBI and DOJ for the FISA warrant which would possibly involve the declassifying of the FISA and supporting documents. Maybe including Steele as a defendant.
