Ken Dilanian reported on Dan Bongino's unexpected appointment as the deputy director of the FBI. Bongino has been known for promoting conspiracy theories and disinformation regarding the FBI, raising concerns about his leadership approach. Despite his controversial past, Bongino stated he plans to step away from political commentary and focus on his new role. The dynamics within the FBI, considering his prior accusations and the agency's stance, remain crucial as Bongino transitions into this significant leadership position.
How Dan Bongino is going to run the FBI is one of the great mysteries, and it's a consequential question. He's been a purveyor of conspiracy theories and disinformation about the FBI on his podcast for the last 10 years.
He said that they knew the identities of the person or persons who placed pipe bombs at the RNC and DNC the day before the January 6th attack, even though the FBI says they don't know the identity of that suspect.
In his last podcast yesterday, he did say that he was moving into a new role, that he was sort of stepping away from politics and that he would no longer be the kind of political animal that he has been in the past.
I have to stay out of the political space because it's the right thing to do and it's the rules. I'm not going there to be some partisan.
