FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino slammed former FBI Director James Comey over a controversial social media post that sparked outrage among conservatives. Bongino accused Comey of repeatedly embarrassing the FBI and undermining America’s trust in law enforcement. The fiery rebuke came after Comey shared a beach photo showing shells arranged as “86 47” – interpreted by many as a violent threat against President Trump, the 47th commander-in-chief.
Bongino didn’t hold back, calling Comey’s actions part of a long pattern of poor judgment and political bias. He revealed that Comey’s toxic legacy forced current FBI leaders to clean up systemic corruption left behind. While Bongino couldn’t disclose specifics, he assured Americans that sweeping reforms are underway to restore the bureau’s honor.
Comey claimed the post was an innocent mistake, deleting it while denying any violent intent. But conservatives weren’t buying it. Lawmakers demanded investigations, with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem calling it an assassination threat. Critics pointed out Comey’s history of anti-Trump actions, including his handling of the Hillary Clinton email scandal.
The backlash highlights growing frustration with Washington elites who conservatives say weaponize federal agencies against patriots. Bongino – a former NYPD officer and Secret Service agent – positioned himself as a streetwise reformer battling the swamp. His alliance with FBI Director Kash Patel signals a Trump-era push to drain corruption from the deep state.
President Trump’s supporters praised Bongino for speaking hard truths they say the mainstream media ignores. They see Comey’s post as proof that anti-Trump radicals will stop at nothing to attack their leader. Many called for Comey’s arrest, arguing double standards protect liberals who threaten conservatives.
The FBI hasn’t commented further, but sources confirm internal reviews of Comey’s conduct are ongoing. Bongino vowed accountability while urging patience, noting institutional rot takes time to fix. His Sunday interview promises more bombshells about the FBI’s cleanup efforts under its new leadership.
This clash isn’t just about two men – it’s a culture war between America-first reformers and the old guard accused of putting politics over justice. Bongino’s blunt style resonates with working-class voters tired of bureaucratic excuses. His message is clear: the days of unchecked deep state power are over.
As tensions rise, one thing unites conservatives – support for law enforcement that protects citizens, not crooked politicians. Bongino closed with a rallying cry: “God bless America, and all those who defend Her.” For millions, it’s a battle cry in the fight to save the country they love.
