FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino strongly condemned former Director James Comey for his ’86 47′ Instagram post, labeling it yet another blemish on the bureau’s reputation.
Bongino asserted that Comey’s behavior exemplifies a failure in leadership that the current administration is striving to rectify.
The message, broadly perceived as a demand for the ousting of the 47th president, was subsequently removed by Comey, who asserted that it had been misinterpreted. Trump and others regarded it as incitement.
Bongino reiterated the FBI’s commitment to aiding investigations into threats against public officials and highlighted the continuous reforms in progress. The Secret Service conducted an interview with Comey, and Director Patel suggested that significant accountability measures could be revealed in the coming weeks.
