FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino vowed on Saturday to uncover the “truth” in a cryptic post on the social platform X, proclaiming that “we cannot run a Republic like this.”
Bongino said that he and FBI Director Kash Patel 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,” the deputy director wrote. It is unclear what Bongino was referring to. The Hill has reached out to the FBI for additional comment.
Bongino, a former Secret Service agent and podcaster, was at the center of the debate over the files related to disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein earlier this month.

it's very likely to be the opposite. I think Bongino and Patel are complicit and enabling the corruption around the Epstein files. They'll claim they're just following orders or some weak nonsense like that. That defense was not accepted during the Nuremburg trials after the holocaust.
Weird to claim there is so much cryptic corruption when he's in charge. What is he doing about it? 
and his whining - are distasteful.
Put up or shut up, you republicon rumor rat, you.
Start with Patel ... then we'll see.
That's what one gets when the only qualification to be in this cabinet is how well the kiss Dear Leader's oversized ass.
