Trump Names Dan Bongino as Deputy FBI Director

[Yttrium]

Yeah, his time as a police officer and a secret service agent mean nothing because he had a radio show

They do mean something, and he'll be a great fit for the Trump administration. He'll be very helpful in rooting out agents who are critical of the president, and especially those who participated in investigating Trump in the past.

They aren't getting rid of them. They're moving them out of DC and putting them in the field.
We're getting something like 400 in Alabama

They're moving agents who are critical of Trump to Alabama?

That would be a clever punishment...

They're trying to make them do their jobs instead of being political hacks engaging in lawfare

Deputy director is a fairly high level administrator. “Police officer”, “secret service agent”, and “podcaster” are not.

He was a LOT more than just another Secret Service agent when he served there.

Did Democrats? Other than checking a box

He seems pretty qualified. I think peoples complaints are political, not practical.

A former police officer and Secret Service agent
Bongino started his career as a cadet then officer with the New York City Police Department from 1995 to 1999, according to a previous campaign website. He joined the Secret Service in 1999 as a special agent, starting in the New York Field Office and assigned with investigating federal crimes such as “protective intelligence, computer crimes, bank fraud, credit card fraud and counterfeiting.” Bongino left the field office in 2002 to become an instructor at the Secret Service Training Academy in Beltsville, Md.

In 2006, Bongino joined the Presidential Protective Division, serving during the presidencies of George W. Bush and Barack Obama. Bongino then transferred to the Baltimore Field Office in 2010, before leaving in May 2011 to run for office.

He has published multiple books on his time with the agency, including Life Inside the Bubble: Why a Top-Ranked Secret Service Agent Walked Away from It All (2013) and The Fight: A Secret Service Agent’s Inside Account of Security Failings and the Political Machine (2016).

The great part about hiring entertainers is they’re entertaining.

We need Cheech & Chong as Drug Czars.

I ain't never heard of Gregg Nunziata, and I am glad that he has little to no influence amongst conservatives.

If it’s okay to have religion in the government, they could necromance* Timothy Leary as Director, and not pay his spirit any salary.

That was Rubio’s former adviser. Rubio is one of those (former) senators failing to draw a line.
