Dan Bongino on ‘Trapping Snakes’ Inside FBI (Video)

Former Deputy Director of the FBI Dan Bongino joined Sean Hannity’s podcast, Hanging Out with Me, and discussed his time at the FBI, his cancer diagnosis, the Russia hoax, UFOs, government secrets, and more.

As for his time in the FBI, Bongino noted, “We walked into a mess. You had like, level A problems, which were like…you had to fix this right away or something’s going to go boom.”

“Then you had level B and level C. D, E, and F got handled by someone else and, you know, people out in the field and up into the DAD level.  If it made it to your desk, it was like an A, B, or C problem….C is a pretty big deal.”

“But the problem is, as you’re dealing with those problems every day in the FBI, there were two FBIs trying to help you solve the A, B, and C problems, and that’s FBI 1 and FBI 2. Like, there’s two FBIs? Yes, there were two FBIs.”

“There was the FBI of like bust your ass. You know, VCAC agents, Violent Crimes Against Children, white collar agents, Violent Crime Fugitive Task Force. And some of these guys, I was just honored to be in the room. They were like, we have this TFO, Task Force Officer, down in Miami. This guy, uh, his first name’s Joe, I won’t say his last name, obviously.”

“This guy’s been on the job 38 years. You know how many violent criminals are off the street because of this guy and the agents he works with? I mean, he’s a TFO, but the agents were like that too.”

“And then you had this other FBI which were— which was populated with, to say, unfortunately, snakes is being nice.”

“And here’s the problem, Sean, it wasn’t always obvious which FBI they were in.”

“So you’re trying to solve, like, a level A problem, which has like no solution.  There’s a shitty solution and a shittier one, and I gotta tell ya, it’s almost like a coin toss because either way, someone’s gonna get hurt, okay.  And you’re trying to figure this out and you’re asking someone for advice….you’ve only been there a couple weeks…and you don’t know if that person is part of the good FBI or the bad FBI.”

“So it took Kash and I both, and even people we had relied on on the outside, who knew the FBI well, sometimes they would get it wrong too. It happened a couple times where they’d say, ‘Oh, you can trust John Smith.’ And you trust John Smith, and then a week later you’d see, like, a leak in the media and you’d be like, ‘I’m pretty sure that came from John Smith.'”

“So I would start like messing with people…I would do these things…like a report leaked out in the media one day. I knew exactly where it came from because I made it up, it was a total lie. It was just an innocuous story.”

“I set somebody up. It was about my schedule after I was going to leave where I am…I’m like ‘Yeah, I’m going out….I forget what I said….but I’m going out to Fleming Steak House tonight.'”

“I wasn’t going out to Fleming’s; I was traveling back to Florida. I knew I was the only….and I confronted him on it. I knew who it was….we had to play this little game.”

“So we walked into this total shitshow, this Biden mess, you know, illegals everywhere. The FBI focused on locking up Donald Trump and not bad guys.
