FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino issued a startling statement on his official “X” account, claiming to have uncovered deep corruption within the federal government. Bongino, known for his outspoken views and law enforcement background, said what he has learned “shocked \[him] down to \[his] core” and warned that the way the country is currently being run is “not sustainable.” His remarks have stirred renewed concern about transparency and accountability within federal agencies.
In his post, Bongino stressed that the FBI remains committed to exposing political weaponization and public corruption. “We are going to conduct these righteous and proper investigations by the book and in accordance with the law,” he wrote. He pledged that the agency would seek “not ‘my truth,’ or ‘your truth,’ but THE TRUTH,” and assured the public of an honest effort to uncover facts in ongoing investigations.
The statement came as CIA Director John Ratcliffe announced his office is reviewing intelligence for declassification that allegedly links Hillary Clinton and senior Obama-era officials to the false Russia collusion narrative from 2016. Ratcliffe pointed to classified material referenced in the annex of the Durham report, saying it reveals how senior officials used the now-debunked Steele dossier as a basis for launching Crossfire Hurricane, the FBI’s investigation into Trump’s campaign.
According to Ratcliffe, the FBI did not merely rely on the dossier but actively accelerated its spread, amplifying what he described as a political hoax while suppressing evidence that contradicted the Clinton-linked claims. He also stated that former CIA Director John Brennan gave false testimony to Congress, a revelation that could have serious legal implications.
As Attorney General Pam Bondi reportedly assembles a new strike force within the Department of Justice, Ratcliffe emphasized the urgency of understanding how these alleged conspiracies were executed. “We understand that they did this,” he said. “But now we need to understand how they did this.” The developments suggest a widening effort to hold individuals accountable for what some are calling a coordinated campaign to mislead the American public.
