“Actions that Aren’t Immediately Visible Do Not Equate to Inaction” — FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino Breaks Silence Amid Mounting Conservative Scrutiny of Bureau Leadership
Dan Bongino, the FBI Deputy Director, took to social media with a carefully worded update in what appears to be a subtle attempt to restore the trust between the bureau’s current leadership and conservatives.
This message from the Deputy Director comes at a time when conservatives are growing increasingly impatient and vocal about the lack of accountability.
High-profile voices like Rudy Giuliani, General Mike Flynn, and Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton have all publicly called out the DOJ and FBI’s leadership for what they see as a lack of action, transparency, and willingness to right past wrongs.
Bongino, who was appointed to help clean house at a deeply compromised FBI, offered a candid look into his fifth week on the job:
Week 5 Updates:
-Thank you for following this account. I’m traveling this week to some of your FBI field offices to gather information on necessary reforms, and to hear from the workforce. The Director and I have prioritized reforms while also making sure the work being done to ensure the safety of the Homeland, continues.
-I posted this last week but I want to reiterate it. The Director and I are working on a number of significant initiatives to ensure that the mistakes of the past are never repeated, and that many of your open questions are answered. We fully understand that some of the actions and initiatives we’ve taken may not immediately appear to fit into the puzzle. And that leaves a vacuum at times, filled by others. But accountability requires information, and people WITH information. I’ll say again, I’m NOT asking you to “trust me,” because I’m not in the “trust me” business. I’m in the “show me results” business.
-Actions that aren’t immediately visible do not equate to inaction. And I’ll be candid here, it’s tough not being able to respond to critical or laudatory comments. But, that’s what I signed up for as an employee of the tax payer. I need to let the results speak for themselves on many of these matters because that’s what you’re paying me to do. I know you’ve been let down in the past. You’re owed better. And we’re going to produce it.
God bless America, and all those who defend Her.
-Dan
