Update: Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino has told people he is considering resigning amid a major clash between the FBI and Justice Department over the continued fallout from the release of the Jeffrey Epstein memo, several sources familiar with the matter told CNN.
According to a far-left Axios scoop, Dan Bongino took the day off today after a clash with Pam Blondi over the handling of the Epstein tapes. The dispute erupted Wednesday amid the fallout on the administration walking back its claims about Epstein. They said there was no client list and he committed suicide.
He reportedly didn’t quit but the tension is still there
Conspiracies or Bad Handling
The ten-hour video had a missing minute due to an old taping system. Blondi said she would release video showing that this happens to all the tapes. Axios claims it led to dissension with Kash Patel and Dan Bongino.
Axios called Bongino and Patel conspiracy theorists which is infuriating since it is very understandable that people are second-guessing every aspect of this. There is a lot of secretiveness by officials which has led many to believe it’s a cover-up. Epstein had many famous, lecherous people on his island. While some of the accusing women like Virginia Guthrie were caught lying, it’s easy to imagine these men sleeping with young girls or barely legal women.
Then there is the misinformation spread by Blondi that she only recently explained – in part. Originally, she said she had the client list and names and would publish it. She set up MAGA influencers with fake binders, and it looks like it was deliberate to hurt MAGA.
Alan Dershowitz, a very left-wing guy, claims he saw the client list. It makes one wonder.
Two Axios sources familiar with Bongino’s position say he was increasingly displeased with Bondi’s handling of the Epstein case because she had publicly overpromised and underdelivered disclosures about an Epstein “client list” that apparently never existed.
That’s the truth.
Laura Loomer, an anti-Blondi fan, wrote Friday on X that Bongino and Patel were “furious” with the way Bondi had handled the case.
I wouldn’t blame them. She screwed it up and hurt their reputations.
Allegedly, during a recent meeting about the issue, Bongino was confronted about a NewsNation article that said he and Patel wanted more information released about Epstein earlier, but were held back. Bongino denied leaking that information.
The argument at the meeting in question was heated and Bongino left angry – allegedly.
A senior administration official told Axios that Bongino was leaking online, but only became angry when it affected him. However, Bongino denies leaking.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche weighed in Friday morning on X, saying that he “worked closely with @FBIDirectorKash and @FBIDDBongino on the joint FBI and DOJ memo regarding the Epstein Files. All of us signed off on the contents of the memo and the conclusions stated in the memo.”
He said there is no daylight between the FBI and DoJ. No daylight maybe, but they probably had different ideas on how to handle it.
The key to understanding this report: “According to a far-left Axios scoop…
The left want to sow as much discord as they can on MAGA fields.
Bible “But while people were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away.” Some who comment here are doing the same
I could be wrong, but I think Bongino is angry that he is not allowed to do his job with honesty and integrity. He is forced to tell lies, such as ” Epstein did kill himself “, and he hates having to lie to protect important people ” too big to fail” . That could be why he may quit.… Read more »
This adds validity to the growing idea that Bondi is the problem. I knew it since the day she ignored Noem’s referrals on ICE raid leakers. Trump did not tell her to ignore that. She did that all by herself. This is consistent with her Florida record of weakness, and her obviously insincere mannerisms. Kash and Bongino were made to… Read more »
The real problem is the RINOs in the Senate, who poisoned Matt Gaetz, just as they refused to confirm Matt Whitaker or any other conservative AG candidate during Trump’s first term. Senate RINOs are why we are stuck with three limp-wristed SCOTUS Justices instead the Antonin Scalia or Clarence Thomas-style conservatives. The RINOs, which make up at least half of… Read more »
RINO motto: cooperate with the left and get re-elected.
Blondi and Patel are finding themselves over-matched when attempting to confront the Deep State, which is like trying to take on the Capone mafia in the 1920’s. Where is Elliot Ness when we need him?
Elliot Ness may be Bongino — if we can keep him and ALLOW him to do his job.
Saltherring – A reasonable analysis. The justice department has been totally corrupt for perhaps 15 years and people expect Bondi to fix the department, answer all the lawsuits, and bring charges against all the people MAGA’s want indicted and all in 5 months.
Would a man take that long, whole 5 months? Show the damn list, was Elon right about Trump’s name on list??
Patel and Bongino should resign and Bondi fired…
And who do you suggest can do a better job. People who just complain are a noisy gong or a clashing symbol. People who point out a need to correct and offer a sound solution are considered VALUABLE!
the more smoke they can make to make you point fingers at the leaders, INSTEAD of the true evil of this, the intel community, who RAN the whole thing,the better their psyop is working. they want you to think there is a list blabla, because it distracts you from finally understanding that this pedo ring was ran by intel, and… Read more »
Your post shows wisdom.
Gislaine Maxwell was convicted on absolutely zero evidence and Jeffery Epstein was held on absolutely zero evidence, he even killed himself when (if there is no evidence) he would have been acquitted. Do they expect us to believe this bullspit?
That is a good way to explain it.
If you are saying there is no evidence, you seems to be saying Bondi-Patel-Dan are telling us the truth
