Grifty Grifters Who Grift

He's back to easy street.

Fresh off of finding out that having a real job is actual work, Dan Bongino is back to being a grifty cable news type:

Here’s the full quote from the Tweet:

@dbongino says details he uncovered at the FBI of the Russia collusion hoax are shocking, warning the abuse of power against President Trump shows a total systematic breakdown: “I was reading through some stuff that you could only read in the office, and it basically involved the collusion hoax, Crossfire Hurricane as it went by, and the various other spinoffs. And when you read it from the inside, when you see the details of what these absolute animals did to President Trump—I mean, I’m not shocked often, Sean—just reading through it and seeing it in detail for the first time, all put together. You can’t run a republic like this. You can’t—you absolutely cannot. It’s just stunning how all these guardrails broke down at the exact same time. It’s frightening how nobody thought to speak up and say, ‘Hey man, not only is this wrong, this is demonic—this is evil stuff.’”

All I want to know is if that is true, then where are the investigations? The arrests? The indictments? The convictions?

Sadly, I know where Bongino’s ethics are, as well as what level of gullibility Hannity’s viewers have to possess to believe any of this.

It is amazing, even if not surprising, that he has so quickly returned to form.

A reminder of what he said before he quit his gig as Deputy Director of the FBI.

“I was paid in the past for my opinions,” Bongino said in a Fox News interview. “One day I will be back in that space but that’s not what I’m paid for now. I’m paid to be your deputy director and we base investigations on facts.”

Back to being paid and not longer feeling bound by facts!

    That would be my question as well: Why didn’t you take any action, Dan?
