Trump-Era FBI Leadership Faces Down Deep State Ghosts of the Past
In a bold statement that’s turning heads across the nation, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino condemned former FBI chief James Comey, calling him a disgrace to law enforcement after a disturbing social media post raised national security concerns.
The controversy centers on an image Comey posted to Instagram — a seemingly innocent photo of seashells, arranged to spell out “86 47.” For many, the meaning was crystal clear: a coded call to “eliminate” the 47th President — Donald J. Trump.
Comey’s Message Seen as Threat Against Trump — Then Quickly Deleted
Although Comey later claimed ignorance and deleted the post, critics — including Trump himself — weren’t buying it.
“He knew exactly what he was saying,” President Trump said Friday on Fox News. “Anyone with a brain can see it — this was a veiled threat. If a former FBI director doesn’t understand what that phrase means, then he’s either lying or dangerously unqualified.”
Bongino: “This Is Exactly the Kind of Corruption We’re Fixing”
Dan Bongino, a former Secret Service agent and NYPD veteran, didn’t mince words in his post on X.
“James Comey brought shame to the FBI — again,” Bongino wrote. “Director Patel and I are left cleaning up the messes his leadership created. This latest outrage is just another reminder of the rot we’ve inherited.”
FBI Reform Under Trump-Era Leadership
Since stepping into their roles under President Trump’s renewed law-and-order agenda, Bongino and FBI Director Kash Patel have been spearheading deep internal reforms to cleanse the bureau of what many see as politicized misconduct tied to the deep state.
“We’re restoring the integrity of the FBI from the inside out,” Bongino said. “And yes, a lot of that work involves undoing Comey’s damage.”
The FBI confirmed that while they are not the primary agency to investigate threats against the president, they are fully cooperating with the U.S. Secret Service and other federal law enforcement in the matter. Comey has already been interviewed by Secret Service officials.
Comey’s Excuse Falls Flat as Public Demands Accountability
Comey responded online by claiming he “didn’t realize” the numbers had any violent connotation, adding, “It never occurred to me.”
That explanation drew swift skepticism from both officials and everyday Americans who recognize the pattern of deflection from former members of the Washington establishment.
“This is what happens when the swamp thinks it’s untouchable,” one social media user posted. “Thank God Trump put real leaders like Bongino and Patel in charge.”
A Legacy of Failure, a Future of Restoration
Bongino hinted that more revelations may come in time.
“If you saw what we see from the inside, you’d understand — it’s worse than you think,” he said. “But make no mistake, we’re handling it.”
He closed his message with a patriotic note: “God bless America, and all those who defend Her.”
