He would have restored credibility if he would have at least addressed WHY he seemed dodgy with Epstein and the Pipe Bomber


I imagine he is probably very restricted in what he can say about the above.

Agreed, but he could at least acknowledge the departures and explain why they never released what they promised about the Epstein jail video.

By many accounts. I have just never seen where he lied.

Gaetz would have been the real deal as attorney General. Better than bongino at fbi.

Bongino is everything MAGA should be against. This guy made his podcast career by talking about how the Deep State needed to be eradicated and then, when he was given the opportunity to do something about it, did frick all. Gaetz is an a-hole, but he's based AF and doesn't give a damn what anyone thinks or says about him.

Bongino blew his wad with all his "his cutesy time is over" and tough talk. He embarrassed himself with the Epstein suicide remarks. His failure to make a difference and short tenure at the FBI will haunt him.

Gaetz was probably the most "solid" Trump supporter in congress. Gaetz not getting the AD job proves he's not deep state.

Bongino coming out and attacking Gaetz seems dramatic and desperate.

Dan is a fraud

He talked a big game on radio, then got the chance in the biggest position for it, and tucked his tail and ran home.

That's like asking a group of con artists who is the grifter with the most credibility in non grifting circles

I certainly respected Bongino more than Gaetz prior to Bongino's FBI stint, but I think Bongino's credibility is shot.


If his credibility is shot, why even worry about him? Gaetz pretty much left Congress when threatened that he’d be exposed.

Gaetz. No. Seriously what did he ever do in congress besides put on a dog and pony show in congressional bearings?

I don't have a dog in the hunt. I hope Bongino has a strong showing with his podcast to bring in young voters to vote Republican. Gaetz absolutely left Congress to keep from being exposed.

Since neither of them will be in public service again, I was curious what people thought about their credibility since they are both "just" podcasters now.

Like so many conservatives, I was a big Dan Bongino fan, until he bailed out. I had so much hope in this guy.

In my house, Dan Bongino has lost all credibility.

Dude, what made you think this Asst.FBI Director gig was going to be a cake walk.

When the going gets tough.......the tough get going. All that machismo image you painted on your daily radio show...........all fake.

Okay so, can you please just go quietly into the night.
