Former Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino issued a chilling warning, saying he lives in fear of "thugs" being sent to his home as retribution for his efforts to reform the FBI.

Speaking on an episode of the "Hang Out with Sean Hannity" podcast, Bongino said what he witnessed during his tenure inside the Bureau shocked him to the core and left him "terrified."

"I'm scared, man," Bongino told Hannity. "I know what I did. And I'm proud of my work. And I am proud of what me and Kash [Patel] accomplished in the past year." He added that he thinks every day "they’re going to come for me."

Bongino joined the FBI in March 2025 and left nearly a year later in January 2026. At the time of his appointment, he said his goal was to restore an agency that was "transparent, accountable, and committed to the rule of law." He now says his service has made him a target.

The former deputy director said he faced internal resistance, including what he described as "snakes" leaking sensitive information to the media. He said he uncovered what he described as a "mother lode" of "Russiagate" files, which he claims were found in FBI burn bags.

I guessed right.  Bongino didn't leave on his own accord, he was in essence forced out.  He 'clashed' with Blondi who I believe became compromised.  Trump sent Bondi on her way to a job in the private sector.  Has anyone heard as to where that 'much needed' placement is?  She is set to testify on the Epstein files soon.

There have been three assassination attempts on Trump and each time his SS team has been very incompetent. That incompetency I believe Bongino was well aware of and he was very critical of the security failures he saw at Butler. 

I believe him that he is being silenced and fears for his life.

Bongino is not new to the SS, he joined the United States Secret Service in 1999 as a special agent. In 2002 he left the New York Field Office to become an instructor at the Secret Service Training Academy in Beltsville, Maryland. In 2006, he was assigned to the Presidential Protection Division during George W. Bush's second term. He remained on protective duty after Barack Obama became president, leaving in May 2011.
