Dan Bongino, a former New York City police officer and Secret Service agent turned right-wing pundit and podcaster, will be the next deputy director of the FBI, President Trump said on Sunday night.

Correct me if I'm wrong but, I understood the director of that FBI couldn't identify himself with any political party. They shouldn't even vote. They are supposed to be neutral.
Ego knows no bounds. Why do these people who are taking these incredibly important positions think they are qualified? Ego/stupidity. Which one? Both perhaps. Dangerous combination.
Where does he find all these people that on paper seem totally unqualified for the job? Are they listed in P2025 or has Elon provided a random maga name generator.
Last night, we shared Dan Bongino’s accounts and called for reports & blocks. This morning? Suspended. People’s actions matter! Turns out, we struck a nerve—he’s back with a new account. You know what to do.
"The announcement came about an hour after the F.B.I. Agents Association told its members that Mr. Patel had privately acknowledged that the next deputy director should be an F.B.I. agent, intensifying mistrust among the rank-and-file."
“Right wing commentator” is so incredibly generous to this person and so on brand for your company. Use more accurate words. No “right wing voters” are ever going to care what your paper says. Just call the guy a raving lunatic, white supremacist
Not if Congress does its job. Oh wait - they've decided to waive their Article 1 responsibilities because they like autocracy. No, that's not it, either. They are COWARDS
The FBI has a pretty shabby history. Informally they tried to dig up dirt on Harry S Truman, dossiers were kept on college kids protesting the Vietnam war, from a PBS documentary fired the guy who might of stopped 9/11. Interfered with the 2016 election, Hillary Clinton should have won not Trump.
Best X files episode ever. “The combination of Mr. Patel and Mr. Bongino will represent the least experienced leadership pair in the history of a bureau…(a pair that) have freely peddled misinformation and embraced partisan politics.”
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 another one who needs a government job because of low ratings. This is the Trump Admin claim to fame - a "dream" team of failure and capitulation to Russia, China, Iran & North Korea.
Another unqualified candidate chosen just because he is white and male. The DEI Administration where NO ONE is selected based on qualifications or merit or experience.
Amazing to me that they can cry about DEI resulting in unqualified people landing jobs (which is false) and, at the same time, continue to elevate incredibly unqualified people to some of the most important roles in the country.
Plot twist: The FBI just got a MAGA makeover! Trump taps Dan Bongino—a former cop, Secret Service agent, and full-time right-wing pundit—as deputy director. Who needs career agents when you have podcasters?
Our country we grew up with, is gone. That can't be undone. The question now is do we really love it enough to fight for it? Frankly, not sure my answer to this..but I don't like these people and I don't like how they're pushing us around. It's personal
Horrible and 100% unqualified except to anything Trump asks without question. Thugs are being put in place to harass enemies and look the other way for allies.
This is ridiculous. Putin must be popping champagne every night at what a joke the US govt has become under his orange,worshiping “dictator want to be”.
I’d say “what’s next?” and throw out a ridiculous hypothetical, but this proves that literally anything is possible in this administration. There’s no standards but loyalty to the Don.
He has the qualifications to lead a right-wing militia group but not a high post in our FBI. There is no such thing as "meritocracy" in the Trump/GOP Administration. Little experience governing, a lot of experience attacking/destroying/undermining our government. Again, another Trump loyalist!
Obviously the amount of damage these people can do is something to be truly five-alarm fire concerned about but I think it is underestimated the degree to which they will likely end up continually punching themselves in the nuts. These are stupid people.
Meanwhile, there are actual threats the country faces from actual criminals and this man knows nothing about how to protect the country from such threats. I feel decidedly less safe

A funny little factoid about Bongino: his brother was fired from the secret service for getting with hookers while he was on duty "protecting" Obama. Also search "Dan Bongino phone meltdown" on YouTube. Highly entertaining.
Now Trump is just making a mockery of the good men and women of the FBI. He is going to discover he has created a potent, vengeful collection of actual patriots waiting for him to stumble. Now the resistance is inside the walls.

Oh wait, that is exactly what they’re doing.
We are screwed. Trump has his personal Stasi and brownshirts.
Thanks, Trump.
No one's qualified.
Trump had to break 117 years of precedent to name this one podcastor with no FBI experience FBI deputy director.
The next 50501 Protests: March 4❗
