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.
