Dan Bongino Is Cracking Under The Pressure Of His FBI Job

Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino is not doing well in his new role. In the last few months, he has gone on Fox News several times to whine about how hard the job is and how it has alienated him from his friends and family, and at one point he looked like he was about to burst into tears. And just a few days ago, he shared a post on Twitter saying that what he has learned while on the job has “shocked me to my core” and he’ll “never be the same again.” This man was not ready for a government job, and his tough guy persona has been completely shattered. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what’s happening.

Dan Bonino, the deputy director of the FBI, right under Cash Patel, uh, spent his career kind of hyping himself up as this big bad dude. I'm a manly man. He loved to show off that he works out and all that crap. And, you know, he, uh, used to be a Secret Service agent. So, you know, pretty, pretty tough dude. Not somebody you want to trifle with. Yet, ever since becoming the deputy director of the FBI, Bonino has done nothing except for whine like a little baby girl. And that actually includes one time when he almost burst into tears a couple weeks ago on Fox News, talking about how hard the job is. And he didn't know it was gonna be this hard folks, you know, he, he, he kind of thought he was gonna have some fun with his buddy cash, and instead it's a lot of work and people are mean to him. And he's, he's been separated from his wife due to distance, I think. Not necessarily a marital separation, but he said he is lost his friends. He is now outta touch with his family. And the guy almost burst into tears while talking about this. It was truly a sight to behold for this big, tough, macho guy.

And then this past weekend, Bonino got even worse because Bonino basically admitted he's not cut out for this job. He can't handle the things that he has learned. So here's what happened. Dan Bonino, I seemingly unprompted, unless he was doing something that just made him realize, I gotta put this on social media right now, but he got on Twitter and he said this, during my tenure here as the Deputy Director of the FBI, I have repeatedly relayed to you that things are happening that might not be immediately visible, but they are happening. The director and I 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 can not run a republic like this. I'll never be the same after learning what I've learned. Calm,

Calm down, bud. Um, I, I, I don't know if you need to be on more medications. I don't know if you need to be on fewer medications. 'cause I don't know what you're currently on, if anything, but I can go ahead and tell you. You're not on the right amount of medication, and you're certainly probably not on the right medications either. But this is a cry for help. This is a man who is in over his head, realizes that he is completely incompetent and has no idea what he is doing. And he is like, oh my

God, I just learned a terrible secret and I can't even tell you, but oh my God, I'm never gonna be the same. It's ruined my life.

But then it gets even funnier because then after that, Bongino quote tweeted his own tweet saying he's never gonna be the same again. And he posted a link to an article from a website called Just the News. And that article suggested that actually in the two, uh, 2016 election, uh, Russia preferred the Democrats over the Republicans. That that's it, that's the grand revelation. That is what according to Bonino shocked him to his core and he'll never be the same. Russia actually liked the Democrats slightly better than they liked Republicans according to this one report, which by the way, Dan, you have access to the actual intelligence. But instead of, instead of doing that, you're like, I just read an article that shocked me to my core. Somebody get this man his bottle, somebody get this man down for his nap.
