Now radio host, former Secret Service agent and current FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino has weighed in, and if you’re a fan of his, you can already guess that he didn’t hold back:

As the Deputy Director of the FBI, I am charged, standing with Director Patel, with managing the most powerful law enforcement agency in the world. The Director and I are also responsible for looking at grave mistakes made by people within the FBI in the past, and ensuring they…

The Director and I are also responsible for looking at grave mistakes made by people within the FBI in the past, and ensuring they never happen again.

Hoo boy, I wouldn’t want to get Bongino on my bad side. He eviscerated the sanctimonious 6' 8" purveyor of misinformation and fervent deep-stater:

…former FBI Director James Comey brought shame to the FBI badge, yet again, this past week. The Director and I spend an inordinate amount of time cleaning up messes left behind by former Director Comey. And his latest actions are no exception.

Not only did Comey embarrass himself and possibly commit federal violations with his apparent threat against the sitting president of the United States, but he left a Grade AAA-sized mess at his former agency that others like current Director Kash Patel and Bongino now have to clean up:

As I’ve stated in the past, I cannot post openly about all the things the Director and I are doing to reform the enterprise, but I assure you, they are happening. Sadly, many of those agenda items are the result of former Director Comey’s poor decision making and atrocious leadership. And to those who doubt me, I assure you, when you see what the Director and I see from the inside, it’s even worse. I’m addressing this now, rather than on our interview with Maria Bartiromo tomorrow, because we recorded that interview earlier in the week prior to the incident with Comey.
