Update: Scrolling through the news since early this morning, the one thing I need to add to my post here is that FBI Director Kash Patel is reportedly standing with Dan, as well. Sources say he will resign along with Bongino if Dan leaves his position. Other news items said that both Bondi and Patel would not leave their appointments regardless of any infighting between the AG and FBI leadership.

The only other thing of interest to me was the simple verification, according to another news article, was that the missing minute of Epstein’s jail cell footage at midnight had been edited by Adobe Premiere, a long standing software that has user friendly versions for home videos and professional versions for people in the entertainment industry or other businesses.

Reports say the White House said, in general, that there was nothing to this story and everything was fine between the FBI’s Director, Deputy Director and AG Pam Bondi.

Deputy FBI Director spars with Attorney General Pam Bondi

Washington, D.C. – Current Deputy Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigations, Dan Bongino, took a pass on work today taking a personal day to assumably reconsider his position there as it stands today. Differences between him and U.S. AG Pam Bondi, after her public statement about how there was nothing to see in regards to the ongoing story about how Jeffrey Epstein died in jail, made Bongino walk out as the two disagreed in terms of the conclusion.

Bongino, who for his millions of followers as a top ten podcaster, before he took the job to be the DD under Kash Patel, has always been brazenly honest about his career from his days as a New York police officer and later as a Secret Service special agent on the Presidential detail where he protected three Presidents of the United States.

Moving forward to become one of the few people asked to replace famed radio host Rush Limbaugh’s coveted time slot after his death, Bongino’s fan base grew to daily viewer numbers at over 100,000 each day. Mixing humor with insider knowledge from his work as a policeman and SS agent, his appeal reached a large audience for both of these reasons.

One of the things he used to say before taking the assignment under FBI Director Kash Patel, was that everyone listening had a real job, whereas he just talked into a camera and reported daily news, insights, and personal stories. He told all of his followers, myself included, that when President Trump called him and asked him to serve under Patel, there was no way he could say no. His fan base agreed he should go back to Washington D.C., where he was needed. Bongino and his “chatsters” hoped he would find out some answers to many of the mysteries that were successfully buried by the swamp.

This brings us back to today’s news. Bongino would not leave a position he was called to do for his country unless there was a real breach. I stand with Dan Bongino. A man of his word who is a good husband, father, loyal employee and American. Best of all, he has FY money so he is not tied to any backroom deals.

As someone who has reported on politics for almost 20 years, researching Bondi and Patel for more details during their nominations, I was surprised to read they both had ties to Qatar. Is this relevant today? I don’t know. Let the experts figure this out. Victor Davis Hanson would be someone good to ask among others. As more news breaks, we’ll learn more and I’ll follow up on this story.
