Dan Bongino Comes Out Swinging Against Grifters,

Legendary conservative podcaster Dan Bongino is now a former FBI Deputy Director, with his retirement from the bureau announced on December seventeenth, and his last day being January third.

“I will be leaving my position with the FBI in January. I want to thank President Trump, AG Bondi, and Director Patel for the opportunity to serve with purpose,” Bongino wrote on X at the time he revealed that he was retiring from the FBI. “Most importantly, I want to thank you, my fellow Americans, for the privilege to serve you. God bless America, and all those who defend Her.”

The day after Bongino’s retirement turned official, FBI Director Kash Patel showered him with reward, noting that “This FBI is saving lives, protecting innocent kids, and taking deadly drugs off our streets at levels not seen in decades. None of it would’ve been possible without Dan’s leadership and support. And he paved the way for even better things to come.”

In an update posted to his X account on Monday, Bongino indicated that he can be making a couple of bulletins soon relating to future plans, but that first, he needed to spend treasured time with his household:

Good to see you all. I missed you. 

Thanks for all the pieces while we labored on cleansing up. Working in the administration was the expertise of a lifetime. I’ll have some bulletins coming up but I’m taking a couple of days to spend with the household. 

A pair of issues:

-Thank you for your curiosity in the show and its return date. We could have one thing for you soon. 

-The Trump staff isn’t kidding around. It’s an otherworldly expertise from the other facet. He’s decided and targeted. And having been around fairly a few Presidents, this one broke the mould. 

-If we blocked you, it’s because we care so little about your bul***t that we deem it unfit of even seeing. 

If you’re b***hing and whining about it that means you possibly can’t exist without seeing and commenting on ours. You’ll need to get over that. 

We do it because there’s nothing black-pillers and anti-Trumpers need more than to create division and drama. We’re about outcomes, and we’ll speak about some of it soon. 

Love you all, and thanks again.

Later in the day, Bongino posted more in-depth ideas on people he called “grifters” and “black-pillers” within the conservative motion:

Let me add this, from the bounce, so there’s NO confusion. I began in this motion as a candidate during the Tea Party motion, and I started my political commentary profession shortly thereafter. I helped construct this motion and I sure as hell am not going to let it get hijacked by a group of black-pillers, life-losers, grifters and bums.

We are a motion guided by fact. The essence of conservative ideology is the preservation of everlasting truths. We usually are not the “latest thing” group. We usually are not political cannibals. I’ve watched quietly from the inside while doing the job I used to be employed to do, but I’m back now, and it’s time to restore stability to the power (that one was for Gui). 

As we prepare to make some bulletins about the future of the show, I also need 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 dips***s come and go. We revel in making you offended enough to show your a***s. It’s superb. 

We’ve bought midterms coming up, and there’s no time for bull***t. This administration is cooking and REAL change simmers. If you’re spending your whole day b***hing and whining with 3/4ths of the time period still to go, then please discover the exits. 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 half of any motion I’m acquainted with. 

Looking ahead to big issues forward. Can’t wait to inform you about it.

Sounds like Bongino is about prepared to unleash hell on some people, politically talking, and I’m so right here for it.
