To hear Dan Bongino describes this, the FBI is the “most corrupt law enforcement institution” in America and the “Full Left Political Work Committee” devoted to covering up democratic crimes and blocking the truth from the American people.
He said in 2023: “It is time for absolute home mobility,” he said in 2023.
Now, Mr. Bongino-Bondet has long been exploited, and President Trump’s voice ally-let him be deputy new director of the agency. His radio program and radio program will finish production on March 14.
The job, which does not require confirmation of the Senate, was traditionally occupied by a large agent with extensive operational experience and a deep understanding of how the various divisions of the office. The last two managers together had more than 35 years of experience before taking over the role. Mr. Bongino as a police officer and a secret service agent in the United States has occupied years ago, but he has no experience with the FBI
Mr. Bongino’s accurate plans for the agency remains transparent, but on recent interventions he said he would reduce the politicization agency and focus on crimes such as drug trafficking – despite the office. Widespread To protect national security, investigate crimes and root Corruption by public officials At all levels.
Completely, years, Mr. Bongino comments on his radio and podcast programs to see a “dramatic change” at the FBI, he said last week. These ideas are largely in line with the criticism of his friend Cash PatelAnd recently confirmed as the agency’s director. Some of their ideas, however, may require additional financing.
The FBI refused to comment, but recently The rejected is the “corruption” It was settled by the Minister of Republican Cabinet, saying that such allegations are not supported by any evidence “and” undermining the FBI men and women “
In response during his radio program on Wednesday, the questions sent by the New York Times, Mr. Bongino said: “It is my job to produce political opinions.” He added: “Your political views are not a prerequisite for such a job. It was clear. It was my law enforcement experience.”
Here is what Mr. Bongino said in the past about his vision of the Federal Investigation Office
“Everyone”
Mr. Bongino frequently focused on Federal Bureau officials who in his mind showed a betrayal of Mr. Trump by following investigations against him or his supporters.
“How do we fix this? He said in June 2023 after Mr. Trump was charged with ill -treatment.” We are not only shooting at the people who did this. Anyone who stood and did nothing while the Ministry of Justice and the Federal Investigation Office were incorporated, and the corrupt crowds were destroyed. Everyone is shot. everyone.”
Republicans and Mr. Trump’s allies tried to reduce the charges against Mr. Trump by demanding some investigations by the FBI more than just a “charming chase” against him.
The indictment focused on the documents marching on Mr. Trump Storing classified documents In multiple rooms in Mar Lago, including bathroom. The investigation began by the FBI in 2022, but was eventually seized by an independent special advisor. The charges were rejected after the re -election of Mr. Trump, because the policy of the Ministry of Justice prohibits the excitement and trial of the head of sitting.
FBI restructuring
In previous offers, Mr. Bongino supported Mr. Patel’s suggestions that the FBI had swollen and that its agents in Washington were dispersed throughout the country to fight crime.
He said during a presentation in June 2023: “Corruption immediately needs. The FBI should not be present as it is now.
Mr. Patel has already started He achieved success in some of these promises. In February, it was planned to transfer about 1500 agents and others from the Washington region to the field offices and other facilities throughout the country.
Exposing “coverage” to the Federal Investigation Office
Mr. Bongino claimed that the FBI defines the truth about the various secrets that moved right -wing influencers for years.
Among them is the ambiguity surrounding the pipe bomb that was planted outside the headquarters of both political parties in Washington The previous day Mr. Trump was gathered on January 6, 2021. The bombs have never exploded, and it is still a conquest of planting them, although the FBI was released New details about the case In January, including a new observation video.
Mr. Bongino said that the FBI tried to cover up the crime in what he called “the largest scandal in the history of the FBI.” Citing any evidence, he said that the FBI officials know the identity of the detonator and that they maintain a secrecy to protect Democrats or the governmental informed. The former FBI officials who worked in the case said this is a liar.
He said that the upcoming FBI leaders need “access to the story on the first day and re -establish confidence.”
“It is quite clear to me that this was an internal function,” he said about the bombs during a broadcast in November. “I do not necessarily mean within the government. It could be. But there is no doubt about my mind that this was not a person who planted that bomb. This was a counter -madage for Trump, and the FBI knew who he is and will not tell you.”
Ending “Mesian” investigations …
Mr. Bongino said that Trump’s supporters were unfairly targeted by the FBI when he investigated the crimes committed on January 6.
“We are not investigating the bad guys because we waste FBI, HSI and Doj the time to investigate who? Internal security investigations.
What actually happened: The FBI has achieved people based on evidence that they committed crimes such as illegally entering the Capitol in the United States, assaulting police officers or engaging in a plot. During the ruling on a handful of the defendants, Federal Public Prosecutors requested what is known as the strengthening of terrorism.
Christopher A. Ray, who was extracted as the FBI director before Mr. Trump took office, the attack that the supporters of Mr. Trump looted the Capitol, which led to five deaths and dozens of injuries to police officers, as local terrorism. Mr. Ray was confirmed during the first administration of Mr. Trump.
Meanwhile, Mr. Bongino suggested that the FBI should focus on other violent crimes such as drug trafficking, although the FBI is responsible for investigating any violation of federal law.
“I actually think that the intelligence function should be removed from the FBI,” said Mr. Bongino in November last year. “They should return to bank theft investigations, kidnapping, and dangerous things.”
The FBI did not abandon these endeavors. Agency Recent ads The arrests related to an attack by the Islamic State include a series of robberies on ATMs in New York and money laundering in St. Louis.
… and may begin investigations against Democrats.
For years, Mr. Bongino claimed that progressive leaders, including former President Joseph R. Biden Junior had committed crimes, and they said that leaders at the FBI should be investigated.
“When Cash Patel goes there, I think many of these people concerned should be investigated,” he said in January.
in a report Last year, the Ministry of Justice found “no evidence” that the FBI “had” secret employees in the various crowds of protest, or in the Capitol, on January 6. “
Mr. Bongino has repeated the Republicans’ allegations that the FBI and the Ministry of Justice were weapons against the governors and wanted to transfer these agencies to the left-wing Americans-although the office has a long history of investigation into the Democrats. In a presentation in January, Mr. Bongino suggested that they would use the government to pursue the law forces in response to what the Democrats said.
He said: “They have been the government weapon to come to Trump to charge them.” “We will use the government to pursue people who believe that the law has broken the law legally.”
Mr. Bongino seemed to be aware that he would politicize the FBI, and he responded to his Bodakas that doing this was the last thing in his mind.
“We are there for a reverse reason,” he said. “To make sure anything of it happens.”
