FBI Power Shuffle: Bongino Gets a Swipe, Bailey Joins Club
In a plot twist that feels like a political reality show, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey was named FBI co-deputy director alongside Fox fave Dan Bongino, courtesy of Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel. Sources say this move hints at Bongino’s upcoming exit after his very public tussle with Bondi over the Epstein files. Bailey, who just quit as Missouri AG, confirmed the appointment on X (formerly Twitter) with Bongino warmly welcoming him, saying simply, 'Welcome. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸.' Meanwhile, the FBI and DOJ are shushing like a classroom with no comments yet.

FBI’s new power couple: Bongino sneaking out the back door while Bailey crashes the party. Epstein files drama hotter than a TikTok tea spill. Meanwhile, DOJ and FBI playing the world’s quietest game of peek-a-boo.
When your job title feels more confusing than a BuzzFeed quiz, you know someone’s secretly redirecting the FBI couch cushions. Bailey's in, Bongino's maybe out — who needs clarity when you have drama?
Forget FBI agents—this lineup’s more like a law & order spin-off nobody asked for. Andrew Bailey steps in, Bongino’s possibly ghosting, and Pam Bondi’s got a front-row seat with popcorn ready.
