Did Bongino say the real reason why he left the FBI?

He couldn’t handle the job responsibility.

I watched the first 20 minutes or so of his show and he was essentially telling people who criticized his time with the FBI to shut the hell up, you have no idea what you're talking about.

Yes, he said the pay cut wasn't worth it.

bottom line, bongino wasn't qualified. just because you can spout off stuff on your radio show doesn't mean you can be an effective #2 at the fbi. kash isn't qualified either.

I was actually thinking about this yesterday. Some people in MAGA are justifiably upset with him. For talking about all this ish he would do if he ever got power. Yet, when he got said power. He started sounding like he was just another bureaucrat. The only way I could see him getting his credibility back is if he never wanted the job, but only took it because Trump asked him personally to take it.

He probably realized it's too far gone.

True dat.

When he popped in on the girl in January and kind of took over The show. He made a comment about his microphone Still being the same like it was famous.... and then name called Charlie as a best friend.

His ego is off the charts. He now says he's the pod father Godfather Of podcasts.

He never spoke about why he Had FBI whistle blowers on his show... applauded assisted them... and then ghosted them when he became deputy director.

Judge by ye Fruits... and his fruits stink of a Self important Sleaze with a temper.

Anyone that does ANY less than call him a Godfather podcaster gets blocked & their comments deleted.

He is screwed because he sold the narrative built an army of cognitively impaired people... that think there's a plan to trust and now he has to Tell them that he didn't HIGHTAIL when he did.

Hilarious. Atta boy, Dan! You tell those poor dumb rubes!!

He's never digging himself out of this hole with that kind of prickly attitude.

A cluster, needless to say. PLUS... he found out NO ONE is actually "in charge".

Wow. I never imagined Bongino would turn out to be an arrogant SOB.

Yeah, no way he re-coups his past cred or clout. He's going to find out the hard way. Presumably almost immediately from many of his past "peon subjects".

Dude needs a slice of humble pie in the worst way (or the whole pie). DC seems to be the epicenter of distorting and over-inflating almost every person's sense of worth & ego there. ALL Birds of a Feather who apparently live in a fantasy world of illusion.

Well, he ain’t wrong. That’s probably the case 97% of the time, amongst those who actively engage in discourse/debate/discussion on the “hottest” topics and issues. What makes it so problematic and stick out so much (badly) is the way most folks dress their statements up as “facts,” as opposed to opinions (or personal perceptions/perspectives, if you will).

Aside from that, it’s a very annoying pet peeve of mine, personally, when folks clearly aren’t grasping the concept of personal opinion versus irrefutable fact.

I saw on X he is now shifting gears and calling those that did crossfire hurricane demonic.

Also saying there is a scheme to take down MAGA. As if his turntailing didn't piss people off .

It is such a tragedy. If anyone contemplated for a minute that JE was working for everyone and our CIA. They weren't gonna leave evidence.

Patel did say he found a room of files and yet... Comey skates.
