yesterday i had read of bongino being appointed to this position but didn't realize it was kash who had chosen him;

FBI Director Kash Patel has selected Dan Bongino to be the Deputy FBI Director.  The position does not need senate confirmation.

President Trump praised the selection on his Truth Social account [SEE HERE] and it will be a selection very well received by the conservative base of support.

President Trump: “Great news for Law Enforcement and American Justice! Dan Bongino, a man of incredible love and passion for our Country, has just been named the next DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF THE FBI, by the man who will be the best ever Director, Kash Patel. Dan has a Masters Degree in Psychology from C.U.N.Y., and an MBA from Penn State. He was a member of the New York Police Department (New York’s Finest!), a highly respected Special Agent with the United States Secret Service, and is now one of the most successful Podcasters in the Country, something he is willing and prepared to give up in order to serve. Working with our great new United States Attorney General, Pam Bondi, and Director Patel, Fairness, Justice, Law and Order will be brought back to America, and quickly. Congratulations Dan!”......more........
