Bongino AWOL at FBI. Is he walking out?

 

July 11, 2025 (172/1461)

Well one of the first high level appointees might be about to walk. Apparently people got suspicious when Dep Dir Bongino didn’t show up to work today. “Tensions within the Trump administration escalated after a heated exchange earlier in the week between Bongino and Bondi regarding management of the case, CNN's Kaitlan Collins reported Friday. Multiple sources told the outlet that Bongino did not turn up to work on Friday, increasing speculation that he is eyeing an exit.

Following the exchange, Bongino told people he has considered resigning, with the infighting over the case and claims that he and FBI Director Kash Patel were behind a story that the FBI wanted more information released but were undermined by the DOJ. In response to Blanche's post, far-right political activist Laura Loomer wrote on X, in part: "How come nobody signed their name to the memo? [Todd Blanche]. My sources tell me that the FBI wanted to release more information about Jeffrey Epstein, and Pam Blondi and her DOJ said NO. This has caused tension between Blondi, Kash, and Bongino. Asking for transparency isn't difficult."

Canada is now back on the sh$$list and at 35% tariffs. Today. Or this hour. “President Trump announced Thursday his administration would impose a 35 percent tariff on all Canadian goods beginning next month.” We do all recognize that this is psychotic, unstable behavior. Right? This sort of crazy, manipulative, bullying behavior shows classic narcissistic traits. Lashing out and seeking attention.

Rubio kicked 1300 people to the curb today. “The department has begun sending layoff notices to 1,107 civil servants and 246 foreign service officers with assignments in the United States, according to a senior department official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss personnel matters.

Staff began to receive notices shortly after 10 a.m. Friday saying their positions were being “abolished” and that they would be losing access to the department’s headquarters in Washington as well as their email and share drives by 5 p.m., according to a copy of one of the notices obtained by The Associated Press.”

And as could’ve been predicted Alligator Alcatraz is a nightmare. Unsanitary, dangerous, and medically unsafe. “Worms in the food. Toilets that don’t flush, flooding floors with fecal waste. Days without a shower or prescription medicine. Mosquitoes and insects everywhere. Lights on all night. Air conditioners that suddenly shut off in the tropical heat. Detainees forced to use recorded phone lines to speak with their lawyers and loved ones.” What would one expect for a facility built in two weeks? “Immigration attorney Katie Blankenship described a concerning lack of medical care at the facility, relaying an account from a 35-year-old Cuban client who told his wife that detainees go days without a shower. The toilets are in the same space as the bunkbeds and can’t handle their needs, she said.”

Another total TOM sh$$storm. Literally.
