It’s not just FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino. It’s now being reported that Director Kash Patel is also unhappy with Bondi and wants her gone, or else he may consider leaving as well.
MORE: Source close to DOJ says Kash Patel also wants Pam Bondi gone, and that he’d consider leaving if Bongino leaves. Also that there are more frustrations with other documents Bondi hasn’t released. https://t.co/e1WYXHxdRN

Confirming this from @ShelbyTalcott, per source close to Bongino:
“Bongino in particular, one source said, is frustrated that the DOJ, at the start of this week, declared the Epstein case effectively closed and determined that the accused sex trafficker died by suicide while awaiting trial, with few further details shared. He wants more documents unsealed, the source added.”
I like Bondi and I think she’ll do a good job for Trump, sharing his vision and all. But I’d rather keep Patel and Bongino if I had my druthers.
But I expect Trump will get them all in a room together pretty soon and sort this out. This is the last thing he needs, and he is the negotiator-in-chief.
