Formerly conservative heavyweights, FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino are rapidly losing the confidence of the MAGA movement, with watchdog group Judicial Watch becoming the latest to blast their failure to deliver transparency this week.

In an investigative bulletin from the organization, Judicial Watch reporters highlighted their prior support for the pair, but lamented that the pair appeared to have been swept up by bureau norms.

"These days, as well, conservative insiders are alarmed by mounting signs that Patel and Bongino have been taken hostage by the Deep State consensus and are failing to bring meaningful change to the FBI," they wrote.

Judicial Watch specifically took issue with Patel's appointment of Steven Jensen, a leader of the Jan. 6 investigations, to lead the Washington Field Office.

They also fumed at the lack of transparency on the Epstein files, despite promises to release the documents.

"Conservatives still wish them well, but time is running out. And the president who promised to 'demolish the Deep State' is watching from the White House. They will not be forgiven for bungling a historic opportunity," they warned.
