Bongino Drops Chilling Warning About ‘What’s Coming’ at FBI

Former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino is sounding the alarm about what he says could be serious personal consequences for his role in reforming the bureau—warning that political retaliation may follow if power in Washington shifts.

Speaking during an interview with Sean Hannity on his podcast, Bongino said he remains proud of his work alongside FBI Director Kash Patel, but admitted the experience has left him deeply concerned about what lies ahead.

“I will never be the same, and I’m being serious as a stroke right now. I’m scared, man. I know what I did, and I’m proud of my work, and I’m proud of what me and Kash accomplished in the past year…I know what we did, and I know what’s coming, I know what I started [and] laid out,” Bongino told Hannity.

His concern centers on the possibility of future political retribution, particularly if Democrats regain control of the presidency. Bongino drew a direct comparison to what he described as the treatment of Donald J. Trump during and after his first term.

“But don’t think for a second that I don’t think every day, and this is what’s really sad…they’re gonna come for me,” he continued. “I knew what I was getting into, but it happened to the president [Trump], and he went through…just the worst…the destruction of his civil liberties I’ve ever seen.”

Bongino emphasized that he took extensive steps to ensure all actions he undertook were legally sound, even bringing in outside legal counsel to review his decisions.

“But I say to my wife all the time – I know, Sean, I can look you in the face as a friend, tell you and your millions of viewers and listeners, I promise you, everything I did, I did with a dotted ‘i’ and a crossed ‘t,'” he said.

Still, he expressed skepticism that strict adherence to the law would be enough protection in a future political climate. “It don’t matter. They’ll rewrite the book. Just like they did for President Trump. … The presidency could change, I hope it doesn’t, in a little over two years. You don’t think on election night, if we lose, it’s not going through my head, they’re gonna send some thugs to my house.”

Reflecting on past investigations into Trump, Bongino said what troubled him most was what he described as a lack of accountability. “I was never the same after that, because after reading what I read about how many people did this [Russian collusion hoax] to President Trump…and not a single person stopped them, I’m terrified that they’re just not gonna do the right thing when they’re in charge,” he added.

Since departing the bureau in January, Bongino has relaunched his podcast, using the platform to weigh in on national security and civil liberties issues. In a recent episode, he issued a stark warning to parents about an online threat known as the “764” network—described as a group that allegedly targets minors in chat rooms.

“I want you to pay very close attention to these three numbers,” Bongino said, as a graphic read “A Deadly Serious Warning To All Parents.” “764. There is a network of people out there…this is what they call the 764 group inside the FBI…and folks, if you haven’t heard about them, look them up.”

He stressed that the issue goes beyond criminal behavior, touching on broader concerns about surveillance and constitutional protections. “It involves another critical issue, which is surveillance and civil liberties. They’re interconnected on this.”

“This group is disgusting. It is horrifying the stuff they do,” Bongino warned, referencing briefings he received during his time at the FBI involving disturbing material allegedly shared with minors online.

As political tensions remain high in Washington, Bongino’s remarks reflect a broader concern among some conservatives about the future use of federal power—and whether reforms undertaken today could lead to consequences tomorrow.
