Dan Bongino: We're Discovering Lots of Evidence Deliberately Hidden by James Comey
Updated

Bongino says the FBI is "closing in" on at least one of the criminals who committed one of three deliberately-unsolved crimes: who planted the DNC/RNC "pipe bombs," who leaked the Dodds decision, and who smuggled Hunter Biden's cocaine into the White House.

The FBI is ramping up its investigation into pipe bombs planted in Washington, D.C. on the eve of the Jan. 6 Capitol riots in 2021.

One top official is now suggesting that after four years, the bureau is getting close to a major break in the case.

"I want answers on this, and I'm pretty confident that we're closing in on some suspects," FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino told "Fox & Friends" Thursday, noting the case is a top priority.

The FBI renewed its focus on the unsolved case earlier this year. In January, investigators released new video footage showing the person who planted the bombs outside the headquarters of both the Democratic National Committee and the Republican National Committee in Washington, D.C.

Bongino criticized what he described as a lack of attention to the case during the Biden administration, despite the broader focus on the Jan. 6 Capitol breach, for which over 1,000 people were arrested and convicted.

"We were told by partisan actors out there, this was the insurrection, the world was [going to] fall apart, and no one seemed to show any interest in this case," he argued, adding that he and FBI Director Kash Patel have made the pipe bomb investigation a priority for their department.

Besides the video footage, in January the FBI also released more details about the suspect's physical characteristics. They believe the individual to be about 5-foot, 7-inches and to have worn a grey hoodie, face mask, black gloves and Nike Air Max Speed Turf shoes.

Investigators claim they've followed hundreds of leads, reviewed thousands of video files, and conducted over 1,000 interviews in the case. Bongino emphasized the importance of public involvement and said social media is a vital tool for generating new case leads.

"Every time I put a tweet out, we get tips. We got a fascinating tip on one of these cases. One of the three," Bongino said, referring to three high-profile cases: the 2021 pipe bombs, the 2022 leak of the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision on abortion and the cocaine discovered in the White House in 2023.

"I don't [want to] say which one, but I'm pretty confident that we're going to close out one of them, hopefully, soon."

Fox says he's saying that he'll close the pipe bomb case, but as I see it, he's saying he's about to close "one of the three," either the pipe bomb case, the Dodds decision leak, and Who Placed Hunter Biden's Cocaine in the White House?

Bongino also says that Comey has forced the FBI to track down dozens of copycat "8647" death-threat makers. "He's a child," Bongino says.

"I've got to tell you, of all the things that have surprised me in the close to now three months I've been here is the depravity of Jim Comey," Bongino said. "This man is a disgrace to the badge, the FBI and the country. What he's doing right now, one, going out and taking mean shots at Kash [by saying he] doesn't belong. Kash was the chief of staff, Kash is a patriot. Kash has served in numerous high-level roles. Taking personal shots while you're on the beach implying a threat towards the president and you're blaming your wife about it."

"And let me just add about James Comey, the same Comey who walks around demoralizing to everyone about what a wonderful human being he is. What you said is absolutely accurate," Bongino continued. "We have wasted countless man hours now running out tips to our tip line about people putting '8647' because of Jim Comey, because he cannot control himself and his emotions. He is a child. He is a big child."

He also says that as they're investigating the "bad actors" of the last regime, they're finding a lot of evidence "lost" or deliberately hidden by Comey and Wray:

What kind of hidden evidence are they finding?

If you remember Nellie Ohr -- she was a key FusionGPS employee and part of the RussiaGate hoax. It just so happens to turn out that her husband was a leftwing employee of the Department of Justice who pushed FusionGPS's lies to the DOJ.

Evidence proving she lied to Congress just happened to be hidden in an unsearchable file, this guy says:

Update: The NY Post reports:

The wife of a former Justice Department official gave "demonstrably false" testimony to Congress about her involvement in drafting and disseminating since-debunked dossiers about Donald Trump's purported collusion with Russia in 2016, according to a bombshell trove of internal FBI records released Wednesday by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa).

Nellie Ohr worked for research firm Fusion GPS when it was hired in the lead-up to the 2016 election to dig up dirt on the Trump campaign's alleged links to Russian organized crime -- but later told a House panel she did not know about the DOJ's parallel investigation into the matter.

The Fusion GPS research repeated errors or included information similar to that discovered later in the Steele dossier.

Ohr also sent emails -- some of which she later deleted -- directly to DOJ prosecutors, not all of whom she admitted to interacting with in subsequent congressional testimony.

Ohr's husband Bruce, then a deputy associate attorney general, received more emails as well as a thumb drive from Nellie containing Fusion GPS research that was passed on to the FBI.

The couple personally met Steele at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington on July 30, 2016, and discussed allegations -- later relayed to the bureau -- that Trump campaign aide Carter Page had met with Russian officials and that Kremlin intelligence had the Republican candidate "over a barrel."

While the Ohrs invoked spousal privilege before Congress on the question of whether they discussed the Trump-Russia probe, the declassified FBI files put out by Grassley reveal the bureau determined there was "little distinction" between the couple's professional and personal lives.

"There is probable cause to believe that Bruce and Nellie did communicate with each other about their respective activity in furtherance of the Russia-collusion investigations and/or narrative," the 43-page FBI document written in September of 2019 states.

The records were compiled in response to a criminal referral made that year by then-Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) that claimed Nellie Ohr knowingly gave false testimony about her involvement with the collusion investigation to the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees in October 2018.

The Justice Department never prosecuted Ohr. In November 2019, the department did secure the conviction of Trump ally Roger Stone for lying to congressional investigators amid their probe.

"Ohr never suffered consequences for advancing the phony Trump-Russia narrative and attempting to cover up her involvement in the hoax," Grassley said in a statement. "Yet time and again, the American justice system has been weaponized against President Trump and his associates with reckless abandon."
