On Sunday night, President Donald Trump revealed that conservative talk show host and former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino will be taking on the role of the new deputy director of the FBI. This decision has stirred up controversy among current and former agency officials and deep state journalists, as Bongino lacks the typical background as an active Special Agent. Despite this, Bongino, alongside newly appointed FBI Director Kash Patel, is set to lead the agency. The FBI Agents Association expressed their disapproval of Bongino’s selection, emphasizing the importance of having an active Special Agent in the role. This move has unsettled many within the FBI, as it deviates from the usual practice of appointing someone with bureau experience. However, supporters of Bongino believe that his perspective on the Russiagate issue will bring a fresh and insightful approach to the FBI’s operations. The appointment of Bongino and Patel signals a significant shift within the FBI, causing concern among those who are accustomed to the traditional ways of the agency.
