I think Dan Bongino has a very bad taste in his mouth after that charade of a press conference. [...]

If he resigns, it will be because he no longer has the stomach to lie for Trump.

I'm thinking Bongino may have been born with a bad taste in his mouth @massadvj --- with nothing to do with the President.

In March 2021, Cumulus Media signed Bongino to replace The Rush Limbaugh Show on its talk radio stations

On October 19, 2021, Bongino said that he opposed corporate vaccine mandates, although he said he was vaccinated. He called on his employer, Cumulus Media, to end their vaccine mandate, which had been announced in September. Unvaccinated employees at Cumulus had already been fired on October 11 and replaced.

"You can have me or the mandate. But you can't have both of us", Bongino said on his show. After taking nearly two weeks off, he returned to announce he was negotiating his ultimatum with Cumulus, and starting a fund for former employees of Cumulus fired because of the vaccination mandate.

On December 11, 2022, Bongino announced plans to end his Cumulus radio show at the conclusion of his contract.  Cumulus began phasing his show out of its stations' lineups in June 2023.  However, in December 2023, he reversed course, securing a multi-year contract extension with Westwood One.

On April 20, 2023, Bongino announced his departure from Fox News, citing failed contract negotiations.

BREAKING: Kash Patel reportedly also wants Pam Bondi gone, may leave if Dan Bongino leaves
This comes after reports that Bongino will resign from his post if Bondi does not leave the DOJ.

Update: Special Assistant to the President and White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Harrison Fields released a statement:

“President Trump has assembled a highly qualified and experienced law and order team dedicated to protecting Americans, holding criminals accountable, and delivering justice to victims. This work is being carried out seamlessly and with unity. Any attempt to sow division within this team is baseless and distracts from the real progress being made in restoring public safety and pursuing justice for all,” Fields said Friday evening.


Original story follows:

FBI Director Kash Patel will reportedly consider leaving his role in the FBI if Deputy Director Dan Bongino leaves his deputy position. There has been a reported clash between the FBI heads and US Attorney General Pam Bondi over the Epstein files, according to the Daily Wire's Mary Margaret Olohan.


Olohan posted to X, "Source close to DOJ says Kash Patel also wants Pam Bondi gone, and that he’d consider leaving if Bongino leaves. Also that there are more frustrations with other documents Bondi hasn’t released."
 
This comes after reports that Bongino will resign from his post if Bondi does not leave the DOJ.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you.

Was this a special report written by Joy Bahar, by any chance?   :whistle:

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The conspiracy theories just aren’t true, never have been. It’s an honor to serve the President of the United States @realDonaldTrump — and I’ll continue to do so for as long as he calls on me.

Conspiracy theories thrive in darkness. Provide some light if you want them to go away. Releasing video with a minute missing and the camera angles allegedly changing doesn't go over well.

Trump defends embattled AG Pam Bondi, says 'nobody cares about' Jeffrey Epstein

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-defends-embattled-ag-pam-bondi-nobody-cares-about-jeffrey-epstein

Quote
President Donald Trump on Saturday defended Attorney General Pam Bondi as doing a "fantastic job" after she came under fire from some Trump supporters over the Department of Justice’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

"What's going on with my ‘boys’ and, in some cases, ‘gals?' They’re all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a fantastic job," Trump wrote in a lengthy post on Truth Social on Saturday. "We’re on one team, MAGA, and I don’t like what’s happening."

EXCERPT

So there you have it.  Trump says Epstein is old news, nothing to see here, and to move along.  Previous promises to get to the bottom of it be damned.

Patel is getting slaughtered on his Twitter feed for his comment about "conspiracy theories."

Bongino hasn't said a word, which is telling.

 I wonder if Trump will give him a call or bring him over to the White House for a one-on-one to calm him down?

I'm sure Bongino is beyond frustrated.  He needs to exit and save his reputation.
