In a fiery episode of his show aired just before being confirmed as the FBI’s new Deputy Director, Dan Bongino issued a direct challenge to Senator Adam Schiff. The outspoken Republican and former Secret Service agent warned that Schiff, long associated with the discredited Russiagate saga, should be prepared to face consequences for his actions.
Bongino’s comments quickly gained traction online, with viewers on social media cheering what many saw as long-overdue accountability for Schiff, a central figure in the Trump-Russia collusion narrative that dominated the early years of the Trump presidency.
During his remarks, Bongino accused Schiff of leading a concerted effort to undermine President Trump and the democratic process. “Schiff has a perfect record of failure,” he said. “Why is he so nervous? Take another look at the hoax they pushed about Trump and Russia.”
He didn’t hold back in naming the institutions and individuals involved in promoting what he called a fabricated story. Bongino pointed fingers at the FBI, Department of Justice, certain members of Congress, and even international intelligence agencies, saying they helped spread a lie that risked damaging U.S. relations with a nuclear-armed nation.
“I know some people would rather move on from this,” Bongino said. “But I’m not one of them. What happened wasn’t just politics—it was a coordinated campaign to manipulate public perception and weaponize our institutions.”
Bongino, a former Fox News personality and fierce critic of the political establishment, made it clear that holding Schiff accountable is one of his priorities. “This is far from over,” he warned. “This isn’t about party lines—it’s about the truth. We can’t allow this kind of deception to happen again, no matter who’s in power.”
He ended with a sharp rebuke: “You don’t get to hijack the justice system and sell fiction as fact. And yes—Adam Schiff is at the center of it. I won’t let this be swept under the rug.”
The segment, posted on X (formerly Twitter) on February 24, 2025, stirred a strong reaction online. One commenter noted, “Just realized Bongino is now Deputy Director of the FBI. He doesn’t forget. Bad news for Schiff and Clinton.”
Others expressed optimism that Bongino’s leadership might help rebuild public confidence in the FBI. “This is a rare chance for real accountability,” another user wrote. “Someone who knows the system—and isn’t afraid to take on corruption—is finally in a position to do something about it.”
The episode marks a bold entry into his new role for Bongino—and a sign that he intends to make waves.
