Bongino Makes Big Announcement His First Day Out of FBI
Former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino posted a lengthy statement on the X platform a day after leaving his job in a bid to reconnect with his fans as he transitions back to civilian life. “Let me add this, from the jump, so there’s NO confusion,” the post began.
“I started in this movement as a candidate during the Tea Party movement, and I began my political commentary career shortly thereafter. I helped build this movement and I sure as hell am not going to let it get hijacked by a group of black-pillers, life-losers, grifters and bums,” he wrote.
“We are a movement guided by truth. The essence of conservative ideology is the preservation of eternal truths. We are not the ‘latest thing’ group. We are not political cannibals. I’ve watched quietly from the inside while doing the job I was hired to do, but I’m back now, and it’s time to restore balance to the force (that one was for Gui),” Bongino’s post continued.
“As we get ready to make some announcements about the future of the show, I also want to warn the haters and the zeroes – we’ve been at this a long time. We live for this stuff. This isn’t our first, second or tenth rodeo. We’ve seen a lot dipshits come and go. We revel in making you angry enough to show your asses. It’s glorious,” he went on.
“We’ve got midterms coming up, and there’s no time for bullshit. This administration is cooking and REAL change simmers. If you’re spending your entire day bitching and whining with 3/4ths of the term still to go, then please find the exits,” Bongino added. “There’s no time for it. It’s not ‘infighting’ when you excise a cancer killing the host. It’s ‘outfighting’ because you’re not part of any movement I’m familiar with.”
Bongino concluded: “Looking forward to big things ahead. Can’t wait to tell you about it.”
In confirming Bongino’s plans to leave the FBI last month, President Donald Trump offered praise and suggested that the now-former deputy director simply wanted to return to his media empire.
Last month, Bongino himself provided some insider details into his decision to leave the Trump administration and his post during a morning appearance on ‘Fox & Friends,’ where he appeared to reveal the real reason behind his shocking move.
“I mean I gave up everything for this. I mean you know my…my wife is struggling. I’m not a victim. I’m not Jim Comey. It’s fine,” Bongino said. “I did this and I’m proud I did it. But if you think we’re there for tea and crumpets…Well, I mean, Kash is there all day.
“Our offices are linked. He turns on the faucet, I hear it. He gets there at like six o’clock in the morning. He doesn’t leave till seven at night. You know, I’m in there at 7:30 in the morning,” Bongino continued.
“He uses the gym, I work out in my apartment, but I stare at these four walls all day in DC, you know, by myself divorced from my wife – not divorced, but I mean separated-divorced, and it’s hard,” Bongino continued. “I mean, you know, we love each other and it’s hard to be apart.”
Bongino’s departure follows reported internal conflict with Attorney General Pam Bondi over the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigative files.
MS NOW reported that Bongino had been telling associates he planned to leave early next year and had begun clearing out his office, USA Today reported.
In a post on X, Bongino thanked Trump, Bondi, and FBI Director Kash Patel for what he called the opportunity to serve.
“Most importantly, I want to thank you, my fellow Americans, for the privilege to serve you,” Bongino wrote.
