Former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe had a difficult time coping with the news that conservative commentator Dan Bongino landed the role he had previously occupied.
McCabe, who was fired by the Justice Department in 2018 for leaking sensitive materials to the media, told CNN on Monday that President Donald Trump’s appointment of Bongino, a former Secret Service agent, as FBI Deputy Director was “stunning and dangerous.”
“Well I’m stunned. I think, Brianna, in the same way that I would expect most FBI people, current and former are — are really shocked,” McCabe told host Brianna Keilar.

“I’ve heard from many of them in the last 24 hours and — and this, this departure from 117 years of — of history and tradition is really remarkable, not because it’s historic and that’s a reason for continuing, but because the demands of the job are so unique. They are so, so broad of such immense scope and responsibility that it takes people an entire career — 15, 16, 17, 18 years before, typically, they’re ready to fill this role.”
“So, a deep understanding of the FBI, its mission, how it accomplishes that mission, the different tools that are to that to be used, the capabilities of the workforce, all those things go into it,” he continued.
“So, to bring in someone who has no connection to that whatsoever is really stunning and dangerous, I would add.”
Bongino will give up his podcast gig to serve as the bureau’s number 2 position at the pleasure of the president.
“Working with our great Attorney General, Pam Bondi, and Director [Kash] Patel, Fairness, Justice, Law and Order will be brought back to America, and quickly!” Trump said in a statement Sunday.
Thank you Mr. President, Attorney General Bondi, and Director Patel. pic.twitter.com/bJqIDbWLEE

Bongino represents a major threat to Deep Staters like McCabe because not only is he intimately aware of the details surrounding the Russia collusion hoax, of which McCabe was involved, but also the January 6 “Fedsurrection” and the coverup of the attempted assassination of President Trump.
He was also the target of Big Tech censorship for his outspoken criticism of the Biden administration.
Additionally, Bongino in 2024 revealed that he and over 26 other prominent conservatives — including Infowars founder Alex Jones — were targets of illegal spying by the CIA and FBI under the Obama administration.
Unbelievable. Former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino drops the list of individuals including Alex Jones that were illegally spied upon by the alphabet soup (FBI and CIA).
