\"A<\/p>\n

Dan Bongino, former NYPD officer turned US Secret Service Agent, turned popular podcaster, turned FBI Deputy Director, has finally resurfaced after the announcement of his stunning exit from the FBI after less than one year on the job.<\/p>\n

\"Two<\/p>\n

His time as second in command at the helm of the FBI was anything but quiet: explosive clashes with Attorney General Pam Bondi over the Jeffrey Epstein files, bold pushes to crack long-stalled cases like the January 6 pipe bomb mystery, and record-smashing takedowns of criminal empires\u2014including massive fentanyl hauls, thousands of child rescues, and gang disruptions made headlines during Bongino\u2019s short stint with the intelligence agency. While critics howled about his conservative roots and the potential chaos of choosing a media personality in such a critically important role, supporters hailed him as the people\u2019s champion, hoping her would shake up the badly bruised reputation of the FBI, which a large number of Americans consider a \u201cdeep state\u201d bureaucracy. Now free from the constraints of government service, Bongino is poised to roar back into the spotlight, teasing big announcements and a full return to his massively popular podcast, which no doubt is leaving the FBI wondering what explosive revelations might be revealed by the emotional Bongino.<\/p>\n

America has many questions, and by the tone of his first public message since his unexpected departure from the FBI as the agency\u2019s No. 2, Bongino appears to be coming out swinging with an aggressive message aimed at his critics as well as a suggestion that he plans to return to his lucrative podcast very soon.<\/p>\n

His first message was posted on \u201cX\u201d<\/a> only a few hours ago:<\/p>\n

Good to see you all. I missed you.<\/p>\n

Thanks for everything while we worked on cleaning up. Working in the administration was the experience of a lifetime. I\u2019ll have some announcements coming up, but I\u2019m taking a couple of days to spend with the family.<\/p>\n

A couple of things: -Thank you for your interest in the show and its return date. We will have something for you soon.<\/p>\n

The Trump team is not kidding around. It\u2019s an otherworldly experience from the other side. He\u2019s determined and focused. And having been around quite a few Presidents, this one broke the mold.<\/p>\n

If we blocked you, it\u2019s because we care so little about your bullshit that we deem it not worthy of even seeing. If you\u2019re bitching and whining about it, that means you can\u2019t exist without seeing and commenting on ours. You\u2019ll need to get over that. We do it because there\u2019s nothing black-pillers and anti-Trumpers want more than to create division and drama. We\u2019re about results, and we\u2019ll talk about some of it soon.<\/p>\n

Love you all, and thanks again.<\/p>\n

Bongino followed up his first message with another post on \u201cX<\/a>,\u201d which appears to be clarifying his first message:<\/p>\n

Let me add this, from the jump, so there\u2019s NO confusion. I started in this movement as a candidate during the Tea Party movement, and I began my political commentary career shortly thereafter. I helped build this movement, and I sure as hell am not going to let it get hijacked by a group of black-pillers, life-losers, grifters, and bums. We are a movement guided by truth. The essence of conservative ideology is the preservation of eternal truths. We are not the \u201clatest thing\u201d group. We are not political cannibals. I\u2019ve watched quietly from the inside while doing the job I was hired to do, but I\u2019m back now, and it\u2019s time to restore balance to the force (that one was for Gui).<\/p>\n

As we get ready to make some announcements about the future of the show, I also want to warn the haters and the zeroes \u2013 we\u2019ve been at this a long time. We live for this stuff. This isn\u2019t our first, second, or tenth rodeo. We\u2019ve seen a lot of dipshits come and go. We revel in making you angry enough to show your asses. It\u2019s glorious.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve got midterms coming up, and there\u2019s no time for bullshit. This administration is cooking, and REAL change simmers. If you\u2019re spending your entire day bitching and whining with 3\/4ths of the term still to go, then please find the exits. There\u2019s no time for it. It\u2019s not \u201cinfighting\u201d when you excise a cancer killing the host. It\u2019s \u201coutfighting\u201d because you\u2019re not part of any movement I\u2019m familiar with.<\/p>\n

Looking forward to big things ahead.<\/p>\n

Can\u2019t wait to tell you about it.<\/p>\n

-Dan<\/p>\n

Shortly after posting this message, Bongino shared an AI-created video portraying him as a badass \u201cSuperfly\u201d law enforcement officer.<\/p>\n

Bongino\u2019s new role at the FBI provided hope for Americans that together, with FBI Director Kash Patel, they would cleanse the FBI of what many believe had become a corrupt cesspool of leftist partisan hacks. Shortly after the announcement was made to appoint Dan Bongino as the FBI Deputy Director, Charlie Kirk gave his full-throated approval.<\/p>\n

What are your thoughts on Bongino\u2019s departure from the FBI and return to his podcast? Where do you think Bongino will havre the most effect?<\/p>\n
