Hey Dan Bongino, Where Did This Guy Go and When Is He Coming Back?

100 Percent Fed Up
Hits: 5

I really wish I didn’t have to keep driving this home, but I feel like the Dan Bongino of 2020-2024 would want me to.

I’m not sure who this new guy is that keeps going on Fox News in that horrible grey suit, but that’s not Dan Bongino.

Sorry folks, it’s just not.

You may not like it, you may have extreme cognitive dissonance about it, you may tell me that Dan has to follow some vague and unknown “ethical rules of the FBI” that are preventing him from shooting us straight, but I’m just calling it like I see it, and the Dan Bongino who keeps going on Fox News recently with really bad takes is NOT the same as the Dan Bongino we all know and love.

Where did THIS guy go? 👇

TRANSCRIPT:

About a year and a half after that, I’m in a green room at Fox, and I’m not gonna say who — ’cause they didn’t give me permission to share it — but, well, they—

Short story, but I don’t know who they are, says,
“You know Epstein’s an intelligence asset for people in the Middle East, right?”

I’m like,
“No, I didn’t know that.”
I’m like,
“You sure of that?”

Person — let’s say — is like,
“I’m absolutely sure of that, that he’s either a witting or unwitting asset. Intelligence asset.”

Meaning his plane, and that island, the cameras—
There’s a big assumption out there that these videotapes were exclusively in the custody of Epstein.

That’s a huge mistake.
The reason they wanted this story to go away is because there’s an assumption like,
“Oh yeah, Epstein had ’em.”
No — he wasn’t the only one who had ’em, according to this source.

These assets — that’s why this blackmail story makes so much sense.
Which Middle Eastern countries they are, I don’t know.
But this person — who’s a very, very good reporter, I mean aces, right —
Swore Epstein was either a witting or unwitting intelligence asset,

And they may have had his plane wired up,
And they’re the ones who have all this stuff.

So the point is, to sum it up,
How do you know some of these countries aren’t going to some of these power players
Who are making decisions with,
“Hey, you wouldn’t want this video out there,” right?

How do you know 100%?
I mean, uh, that—
Let’s… let’s get personal.

Full screen video player with captions added here:

I like that guy!

I miss that guy!

In my mind, I imagine that guy is hidden in a closet somewhere with duct tape over his hands and mouth (figuratively of course) screaming out HELP ME!

So I’m going to keep shouting from the rooftops that yes, I’m rooting for Kash, Dan and Pam, but something is wrong.  Something is very, very wrong.  And I’m not going to zip my mouth and claim it’s all 4D chess or it “just takes time” or Kash and Dan are now bound by some weird and vague “FBI ethics” and that’s what’s causing them to look so bad.

Sorry, I don’t buy any of it.

I do understand they’ve been airdropped behind enemy lines and they face a Herculean task.  Possibly one they can’t win.  The odds are almost insurmountable and stacked against them.

I get all of that.

I get that Kash and Dan left lucrative (and easy) careers for a tough life.

I get that too.

I get that this will take time and you can’t expect everything in the first 100 days or even the first one year.

I get that too.

None of ANY of that is being called into question.

What is being called into question is their absolutely horrible body language.  The fact they both look like they’re starring in a hostage video each time they go on Fox News.

The fact that both of them are really bad liars and they’re not fooling us by pushing these narratives that we can see as plain as day on their faces that even they don’t believe.

So I don’t think it’s “unloyal” to call these things out.  Not at all.

In fact, I think the Dan Bongino that’s in that video up above is secretly standing up and applauding.

Dan (and Kash) never wanted us to blindly follow anyone, including themselves.

They wanted to teach us how to THINK on our own and call it out when things look wrong.

And that’s what I’m doing.

Honoring their legacy, even as they both currently destroy it.

Here’s actually what I think is going on:

MY TAKE: Dan Bongino and Kash Patel Are Compromised…and This Is The Deal They Made

MY TAKE: Dan Bongino and Kash Patel Are Compromised...and This Is The Deal They Made

Noah here, and I wish I didn't have to write this post, but I do.  I hope I'm wrong, but my gut is absolutely SCREAMING on this one.  Allow me to explain...

Some of you are not going to like this, but I have to say what my eyes and ears see and hear, and that is that something is very, very wrong about Dan Bongino and Kash Patel.

No, it's not because I expected them to walk into the FBI and arrest everyone Day 1.

It's not because they are slow rolling (or "no" rolling?) the Epstein files, although that doesn't help.

It's just basic common sense and body language.

These two did not do themselves any favors going on Maria Bartiromo's show on Sunday.

They appeared nervous, shifty, defensive and almost gave off vibes of a hostage video.

In short, their body language was awful!

Eyes shifting all over the place, awkward pauses, statements that sounded extremely forced, bad body posture.

You don't need to be a body language expert to see something is very, very wrong here.

Watch this clip as Dan Bongino tries (and fails) to convince people that there's nothing abnormal at all with the Trump Assassinations, nothing to see here!

To quote Dan, "there's no there there".

Watch:

Everything these two guys are saying DIRECTLY contradicts everything they both said repeatedly over the last 4 years.

Something is very wrong.

Are they compromised?

Blackmailed?

Families threatened?

I'm telling you, that is 100% the vibe I'm getting.

And yes, I fully understand that certain things need to remain confidential as the legal process plays out, but you really expect us to believe that "you've been fully briefed" and now you 100% believe there was no funny business of any kind and no Secret Service failure at all related to the Butler, PA assassination attempt?

Really Dan?

Back up for a second and pause to understand how absolutely LUDICROUS that sounds....

You were briefed?

Oh really, by who?

By the entrenched Deep State in the FBI?

And you took that at face value?

You were briefed by the entrenched Deep State FBI career employees loyal to James Comey, briefed with material that has almost certainly been doctored and corrupted, and you just bought it hook, line and sinker?

I'm sorry, but something is very wrong here.

That's why the only conclusion I can reach right now, especially based on their terrible body language, is that these are two honest guys, two smart guys, who have in some way been compromised and/or their families threatened, and they just went on Fox News to try and sell a bill of goods that neither one of them believes in.

It didn't work.

For his part, Dan has made several posts on X that demonstrate he is keenly aware of the public sentiment and essentially the fact that the community is turning on him and Kash.

Here is his latest:

I haven’t done any media interviews to this point because I want to keep the attention on the work. I don’t work for myself anymore, I work for you.
But it is important to relay to you what we’re doing, and the media can be a tool for that. That’s why we chose a long-form interview with Maria Bartiromo for our first interview. I hope you saw it. If you missed it, here are some of the questions that were asked and answered:

-Yes, we are moving FBI headquarters out of the Hoover Building. The process has already begun. Stay tuned for updates on the details and timelines.

-I was asked about some of the details surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein case. I have reviewed the case. Jeffrey Epstein killed himself. There’s no evidence in the case file indicating otherwise. I’m not asking you to believe me, or not. I’m telling you what exists, and what doesn’t. If new evidence surfaces I’m happy to reevaluate.

-I was challenged on “accountability.” It’s a fair question. I aggressively responded because the Director and I have been working tirelessly to uncover the bad actors. We cannot get into HR specifics, and this creates an information vacuum. Unfortunately bad actors looking to tell you “a story,” not THE story, want you to believe we haven’t taken harsh and decisive action against rogue employees. That’s absolutely false. And the bad actors know it.

-We were asked about FBI priorities. The Director and I told Maria that the President, the Attorney General, the Director, and I are absolutely committed to getting your FBI back to its roots. We will make your communities safer. Illegal immigration ops, child sex crimes investigations, 764 cases, and violent criminal fugitive apprehensions are all on our expanding radar. And while America is enjoying the summer we are already planning a massive operation to clean up your streets. The counter-terror and counter-intell missions are critical and will continue at our customary high-tempo too. This is what you pay us for.

God bless America, and all those who defend Her.

If I read between the lines, here's what I'm seeing....

Dan and Kash are 100% compromised.

I believe this is the deal that was reached (or perhaps more accurately said: imposed on them):

They've been told certain things are off-limits, like the Epstein List will never come out.  They've also been given a job to white-wash the Epstein suicide and also to white-wash the Butler, PA fiasco.

In exchange for those things that are off-limits, they will be allowed to do other things like shutting down the Hoover building and making a bunch of low-level arrests of drug dealers and sex predators.  They'll try to champion those things as mission accomplished, but none of the big stuff we all wanted will ever happen.

That's my take.

RELATED REPORT:

Kash Patel and Dan Bongino Trust The FBI File On Jeffrey Epstein? You Kidding Me?

Kash Patel and Dan Bongino are turning a lot of heads for many things they said on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo.

Something is definitely very off.

First, let's watch the clip where Kash Patel says Epstein clearly killed himself and Dan Bongino chimes in at the end with "He killed himself, I've seen the file."

Watch here:

Backup here if needed:

Let's just say almost NO ONE is believing them.

I sure don't.

I like(d) Kash, and I like(d) Dan, and I trust(ed) Kash and I trust(ed) Dan, but now I'm not so sure.

This is one of the best comments I saw in response:

I think that is spot on.

I also have to completely agree with this guy who points out that the "FBI file" seems like a really weird place to look for evidence about the truth:

Come on Dan, you're better than that!

Are you kidding me?

Let's just assume for a second that Epstein did NOT in fact kill himself, and he was killed by our Government....do you really think the Government file would contain the truth?

Dan, that doesn't even pass any basic logic of any kind!

If the Government killed him, they surely would have doctored the file too, but you "saw the file" and now you're convinced?

I'm just going to say this as plainly as I can:  Dan and Kash are either compromised or dumb beyond imagination, because there's no other way to square this information.

Glenn Beck agrees, saying he knows and trusts Dan and Kash, but he smells a rat here.

Watch here:

FULL TRANSCRIPT:

Kash Patel and Bongino come out and they said a couple of things.
Uh, they said that Epstein's death was suicide. Bongino came out and said,
"I fully—I mean, I've seen it. You know it when you see it. It was suicide."

Immediately I thought to myself, "I don't think so."
However, I know Dan Bongino. I've known him for years.
I think he's a credible guy. I think he loves his country.
I know Kash Patel—not as well as I know Dan Bongino,
but I know Kash Patel. I think he's an honorable guy.

I think he loves his country.
I know that they both work for Donald Trump.
I know Donald Trump. I know that he loves his country.
So wait—if I don't believe them, if I'm saying,
"I don't believe that," just like I say,
"I don't believe the prostate thing is new to the family,"
I have no evidence of that.

I have zero evidence of that. It's just what Stu said.
I've been lied to over and over and over,
especially from those people, about his health.
So I—I—I just—I don't believe any of it.

But that is—the key word is "believe."
Believe. Not know—believe.
I wanna show you—there are seven stages of an empire.
We are in the last stage,
and there's only two things that have to happen in that last stage.

When I give it to you here in a minute,
uh, I think it'll blow your mind.
We have no trust at all in anything.
If I don't believe Patel and Bongino,
then do I believe Donald Trump?

Do I believe that there's some conspiracy inside of MAGA?
You see, where does this end?
This is where critical thinking comes in.
Critical thinking is something that is no longer taught.

You have to ask yourself these questions.
Instead of saying, "I don't believe it," ask questions.
And here's the question I asked myself:
"To believe Epstein killed himself, what is it I would need to see
that could be produced?"

One: full, unredacted forensic and autopsy reports.
I'd like to see it. I'd like to hear other coroners talk about it.
I'd like to see other people—not just handpicked by the media—
but I'd—I'd like to see the evidence myself.
I'd like to hear from coroners all over.

I'd like to see the surveillance footage,
or sworn testimony from neutral parties confirming no foul play on that.
I wanna know the history of that camera.
I wanna know when it went out, exactly—and I know we do—
but I want the whole thing, including the video leading up to it going out.

I want a timeline that explains the broken cameras,
the sleeping guards, and why the most high-profile prisoner in America
was removed from suicide watch just days before.
Why did that happen?

You see, it is the string of coincidence
and the constant lies from both sides of the administration—
both Republican and Democrat.
We don't believe the Department of Justice anymore.

We don't believe our FBI.
We don't believe, apparently now, our own administration.
That doesn't lead anywhere good.
That's—let me just say the one name: Robespierre.

That's what leads to out-of-control revolution.
So instead of saying, "I don't believe it,"—which I don't.
I don't believe it.
But what would be much more helpful is—

I want to see those things.
I want to hear from Dan Bongino and say to him,
"Dan, specifically what did you see?
Because I know you. You didn't believe this either.
So what is it? And show it to me.

What did you specifically see that changed your mind?
Because I wanna be there with you. I really do.
So show it to me."

Now with the FBI agents—
the other story where they're trying to, you know, erase everybody's name that was involved—
I want concrete threats of violence against specific agents.
I don't want just general fear.

Don't tell me that there are 5,000 agents
and they may not be able to prosecute them because of statute of limitations,
and so they all just walk away and we're going to destroy their names.
That's what's being asked: destroy that list.

Why? General fear.
I'm sorry, general fear is no longer good enough.
Evidence that the list is incomplete or misused—show that to me,
and you can make a case.

Show me a legal or constitutional rationale
for why law enforcement that was involved in January 6th
should remain anonymous.
Show that to me—a legal or constitutional rationale.

Without any of that, that looks like self-pre—uh, um—preservation
instead of institutional transparency.
I have to see things.
I'm sorry, but we should all be Thomas.

Need to put my finger in the hole.

So....what do you think?

What's going on with Kash and Dan?
