The Bongino situation is wild. He's back retweeting Catturd and Mark Levin, saying how much he's missed this. Dave Smith criticized him and Dan went into a full meltdown in a series of back-and-forths. He is responding with threats not facts. Unhinged is how it comes off, the tough guy act isn't working.
He could have done much to salvage his reputation by calming responding to criticisms with facts and data. Not doing so makes everyone assume the facts and data are not on his side.
On Hayley Caronia's show (rumble.com) he claimed it was "always the plan to leave after one year". Bro! You didn't even make it a year. Was there any statement of this prior to him entering the position? If not, and I don't recall seeing one, it sounds like major cope.
All that said, I rather enjoyed Dan's podcast prior to him joining the FBI. I was well aware then, as I am now, that he is a GenX who acts like an Israel first boomer. What can I say, the guy is entertaining. I was reserving judgement on the current situation until Dan had a chance to air his side of the story. Well, his side of the story sounds like absolute bullshit. I'm curious to how I'll respond to his content now. There is a level of disgust I might not be able to get past.
