Brace yourselves for incoming! FBI Deputy Director Bongino vows to reveal 'truth' in cryptic social media post

Sorry this is from Fox News - I'm not promoting a RW site. I think it is important following the meeting and I haven't seen it posted anywhere else yet.

Brace yourselves for whatever bullshit is about to come. This after saying there was nothing to see. Which prompted the firestorm. Now he's shocked to his core.
Buckle up.


FBI Deputy Director Bongino vows to reveal 'truth' in cryptic social media post
'I’ll never be the same after learning what I’ve learned'

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino posted a lengthy message on his official X account in which he vowed to bring the American people "the truth" after saying that he had learned things that "shocked" him.

"During my tenure here as the Deputy Director of the FBI, I have repeatedly relayed to you that things are happening that might not be immediately visible, but they are happening," Bongino wrote. "What I have learned in the course of our properly predicated and necessary investigations into these aforementioned matters, has shocked me down to my core. We cannot run a Republic like this. I’ll never be the same after learning what I’ve learned."

It is unclear what exactly Bongino was referring to in his post.

"10 things that shocked me to my very core...and you won't believe Number 6".

I've listened to Bongino's Hate Radio show. It's full of overblown bullshit that is going to "destroy our country" about twenty times per show.

He's just like Trump with his crap. "If you don't fight today, you won't have a country anymore!" "Corruption like nobody has ever seen before!"

he doesn't get the context or has created a context that fits his world view.

It's just him assuring magas that he and Kash are totally on it - it being some nebulous scandal which is big deal, I swear to god, you guys.

6. OK. Maybe its nothing. But after the Maxwell meetings, won't be surprised if they announce all kinds of investigations

He looked awfully sad when he made the announcement to MAGA that there was nothing to see.

7. I agree. They will do their best to manipulate things to their advantage.

I'm just saying that tweet was more bark than bite. They're probably still washing the data because, no matter how much soap they use they still can't get the Trump stains out of the Epstein files.

8. They are bending into pretzel shapes trying to explain the Trump-Epstein link.

Apparently, some are trying to claim Trump was working under cover. M@G@ would "believe" it, because M@G@ will "believe" anything.

9. The best thing Bongino can do to save his career...

is to quit the FBI immediately and expose everything possible on his podcast. This could be a turning point for Trump's base to turn against Trump and the true "Deep State" he helped create. One can dream...
