Trump names Dan Bongino Deputy Director of FBI

“who noted that, in the bureau’s 117-year history, the deputy director has always been a career FBI agent with deep knowledge of how the bureau functions — and not a political appointee selected by the president. “


FBI agents express shock and dismay over naming of right-wing podcaster to No. 2 post

 

expect a sudden wave of retirements? what a chitty time to be in the prime of your career and have to face these kinds of decisions..

like someone else said, the only ones happier than Putin are organized crime right now

 

A perfect time to also dismantle fed law enforcement. Seasoned agents don't grow on trees. I'm sure a bunch of pimple faced geeks in maga hats will do a much better job of keeping us all safe.

 

It says he was secret service. Did this guy ever run an investigation that led to a successful prosecution? I’m guessing Bongino has a big fat zero. Let alone run a department in charge of conducting… investigations? There’s 13,700 FBI agents, and I bet 1000 have a longer career and better resume with major prosecutions (and at least dozens that are at least leadership positions). As this guy never even worked in the FBI, if you just looked at “all law enforcement” there’d likely be 10’s of thousands of feds with better resumes for the job.

Let’s face it, while you accuse others of hating “just because”, the only reason you like this guy is you listen to him on tv/radio and like his politics (which are quite deranged). Rather than a tv personality, I basically don’t want to know who the FBI director is. It needs to be a professional. This guy is far far from it.

 

He’s been on the job, what, just over a month??? And he’s already complaining how hard it is to work.

“I get there at 7:30 in the morning!….”

 

You may want to be more careful with your posts. Sounds like Dan and Kash are burning the midnight oil, keeping this country safe and it’s just a matter of time before they review some of the posts on this board.

 

Pfftft, kash is too busy hitting the clubs, UFC fights, and jet-setting on our dime. This maga admin doesn’t really like to “work”. Besides, our mods already do a great job.


“landing just hours before, Patel showed up in box seats next to hockey legend Wayne Gretzky to watch Washington Capitals…..Patel also has apparently made use of the FBI's Gulfstream 5 jets to travel to Las Vegas, where he has a home, and to Nashville, where Patel's girlfriend, a country singer, lives.”

Kash Patel once called for ending FBI director's government jet use. Now he won't reveal if he's a frequent flyer.

 

That’s awesome! He’s dating a country singer?? Ha!

 

It is so funny that these right-wing media figures spent years trying to to get their audiences to resent government workers by talking about their supposedly cushy jobs and now all get to Washington and are stunned to find that government workers don't have fountains of Evian and luxury furniture in their offices.

 

can you imagine if a woman or god forbid a minority was openly whining like that?

they would be receiving packages of womens feminine products from maga faithful across the country

 

To be fair, the women of the Trump administration are whining like this.

Jeanine Pirro Wants Taxpayers to Fund Her Bottled Water - Washingtonian

 

To a government worker this is a non-issue. Many years ago my office had a water fund, coffee fund, snack fund (I ran the snack fund). Today most offices have a coffee fund. Nobody has a water fund now that all our building have those fancy water hydration stations.
