Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino is considering leaving his job after a heated confrontation with Attorney General Pam Bondi over his frustration with how the Justice Department has handled the Jeffrey Epstein files, according to a person who has spoken with Bongino and a source familiar with the interactions that Bongino and FBI Director Kash Patel have had with Bondi.

“Bongino is out of control furious,” the person who has spoken with the deputy FBI director said. “This destroyed his career. He’s threatening to quit and torch Pam unless she’s fired.”

Bongino did not report to work Friday amid speculation about his whereabouts, said a source familiar with the perspectives of DOJ leaders who also believes that Bongino is considering leaving.

    I bet my bottom dollar, he doesn’t like working a job that requires long hours. The standard 9-5, or even longer at the fbi, is not what he signed up for. He wants to go back to making bank$$$ doing occasional sound bites for fox news and YouTube podcasts.

    This fucker is nothing but a grifter. He didn’t sign up for a real job with real consequences. He wants to go back to his easy payout gig. I take this to the grave. Charlatan and grifter, nothing more.

      Didn’t he go on fox news and whine about how he and Patel have to work all day and they miss their families?

      Same as Al Queda Taliban operatives taking desk jobs in Afghanistan and hating their lives.

      Be careful tearing down a system, you might need to live through the results of your actions.
