quote:

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. 

The Director and I are committed to stamping out public corruption and the political weaponization of both law enforcement and intelligence operations. It is a priority for us. But 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. 

We are going to conduct these righteous and proper investigations by the book and in accordance with the law. We are going to get the answers WE ALL DESERVE. As with any investigation, I cannot predict where it will land, but I can promise you an honest and dignified effort at truth. Not “my truth,” or “your truth,” but THE TRUTH. 

God bless America, and all those who defend Her.
Respectfully,
Dan

So he is basically confirming what he (and we) already knew, only it's much worse than we all imagined after being able to see all the classified crap.

I don’t like the term “righteous” but other than that I honestly don’t know what he expected. He lived in NoVa and worked for the SS so he should have been used to it

I would imagine his scope and purview changed dramatically from SS to Deputy Director of the FBI. The amount of information and resources at his fingertips is probably one hundred times larger than before.

Predictions are not required. Just deliver on the above.

His job with the SS probably kept him pretty compartmentalized as far as seeing into all the corruption behind the scenes. Sure, he had to figure a lot of it was going on, but I would imagine being on Presidential security details was pretty specialized and focused on those specifics with not much time to go poking around looking for other things. ETA: Plus, it wasn't part of his job description to go digging into all that crap.

Being DD of the FBI opens up the whole big can of worms and now makes it his job to dig into all of it.

Regardless of what’s put out there, Dems like SFP will shrug their shoulders and deny any real crimes were committed. That’s sadly where we are as a society

It's up in the air, but if some were, they're almost assuredly not able to be prosecuted, and prosecuting them now has insane risks that would be terrible for Trump/MAGA

They're setting up the "aw shucks we can't do anything, but that just shows you the deception and terribleness of [insert out group symbolic leader] is" political rhetoric

I love this post from Bongino, but this is where I am.

Unless we see some major figures in cuffs, this rhetoric is the same it has always been. We will see.

More talk from a guy working for us, teasing us with tweets and will never show us the stuff that's 'shocking' him to his 'core'.

The elite class in Washington, period, destroyed the USA. This wasn't one party. This was a group of people on the same team, or with converging interests, who played politics in front of the camera while the smooth brains of the country seal clapped to their own demise.

He should have made you campaign manager. You see everything through static eyes. You are unable to see that leaders shift views.

This is babble that literally has nothing to do with what I said.

Trying to prosecute political enemies and losing is devastating for the side trying the maneuver.

This.

And to think, there are still a few people here who scoff at idea that America's #1 enemy is our corrupt Political Establishment.
