demands a 20 person personal protection detail...come on MAGA...do you really suppor this kind of unqualified diva in such important positions protecting us? Trump official stuns FBI as he demands 20-agent security detail A former Fox News star whom Donald Trump appointed to serve as the second in command at the Federal Bureau of Investigation has astonished officials by requesting as many as 20 agents to serve as his security detail. Dan Bongino, 50, the former host of The Dan Bongino Show on Rumble and Unfiltered with Dan Bongino on Fox News, was sworn in as the deputy director of the FBI last month - becoming the first in American history who was not a career agent. It appears he is now breaking with tradition once again, by asking for a full-time security detail to accompany him wherever he goes - something that is typically only reserved for the FBI director himself, NBC News reports. The podcaster's unusual request came last week, when the bureau sent out an internal call for agents to temporarily abandon their posts and serve on Bongino's protective security instead, two former and current officials told the outlet. The internal message - known as a canvass - had sought any agents willing to relocate for one month of temporary duty to protect Bongino 24/7, they said - noting that such full-time protection could require as many as 20 agents. That would put a strain on the law enforcement agency, with one former official saying that the details for the FBI director and Attorney General 'were always struggling to bring in personnel to meet their manning needs' and would routinely bring in agents to serve on the detail temporarily.
Bongina is a very important person conspiracy-theorist who deserves full protection. For the last several years Bongino has ranted against the FBI on his podcast, saying it should be "disbanded immediately" and calling agents "thugs." Bongino will now help run federal law enforcement as the number two official at the FBI, behind Director Kash Patel. On his show, Bongino embraced conspiracy theories about supposed complicity of the FBI in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack; called for investigating and imprisoning former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden; and discussed his own belief in the "spirit realm" and his view that some Democrats were infected with "demon energy." https://www.npr.org/2025/03/03/nx-s1-5308020/dan-bongino-trump-fbi-director-conspiracies-podcast
