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 Bonginoās 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. šŗšøšŗšøšŗšø.' Meanwhile, the FBI and DOJ are shushing like a classroom with no comments yet.
