Representative Thomas Massie is one of the primary Alligator Emoji antagonists. His intended mission is always to undermine efforts by any MAGA policy or objective, and to sow division in order to maintain his purpose on behalf of people who do not have America’s interests in mind.
Thomas Massie has been bad news for a long time and is ABSOLUTELY, UNDENIABLY a walking visible representation of the attitude, disposition and intents of the narrow-minded tribe that travels under the DeSantis banner.
Yesterday, in his latest operation to divide the MAGA base, which is his primary mission – and has been for a long time, Thomas Massie used the background sentiment of distrust in the FBI, which is valid – but in this example also serves his purpose, to claim the FBI was targeting ‘whistleblowers’ who have grifted themselves into optimal financial position around the issue of the J6 pipe bomber.
[SOURCE]
At a certain point, everyone eventually gets sick of the Massie operation. FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino has reached that point.
[BONGINO – X] “Congressman Massie, When Director Patel and I entered on duty in our leadership positions in the FBI we had our hands full, but we were happy to be part of the President’s team, and we still are.
Despite the multitude of challenges we faced, one of our first initiatives was to aggressively pursue a new strategy to investigate the January 6 pipe bomb, terror attack. We brought in new personnel to take a look at the case, we flew in police officers and detectives working as TFOs (task force officers) to review FBI work, we conducted multiple internal reviews, held countless in person and SVTC meetings with investigative team members, we dramatically increased investigative resources, and we increased the public award for information in the case to utilize crowd-sourcing leads.”
“This is only a small sample of the work the FBI personnel and leadership team have put into this critical investigation.
When I spoke with you yesterday a little after 8am ET (screenshots attached), I offered you an in-person brief on our work. We spoke for ten minutes.
I called you back a bit after 7:30pm ET to again make that offer. You didn’t answer and have yet to call me back.
Despite this, you continue to imply that the Director and I are targeting investigators in the case. This is disgusting, even by the low standards many have for politicians. You know my number, and you’re free to call me anytime. But it’s easier to tweet and throw BS bombs.
Yes, our leadership team will be meeting with FBI team members today, and we will avail them of all the whistleblower resources they need to disclose ANY evidence of malfeasance in the prior administration. And we will ask about threads that may have gone un-pulled under prior leadership, because we are passionate about solving this case.
But a week of near 24-hour work on RECENT open-source leads in the case has yet to produce a breakthrough, and some of the media reporting regarding prior persons of interest is grossly inaccurate and serves only to mislead the public.
I proudly serve in this administration, and I proudly work with Director Patel to reform and advance the crime fighting and national security missions of the FBI. We would love to have you as a partner in this mission, rather than a dog barking behind a fence.” {SOURCE}
While I have my differences with positions and actions of the FBI for a long time, what Massie is trying to do with this pre-existing, background sentiment deserves the full pushback he is receiving from Deputy Director Dan Bongino.
Massie has been playing a game for a long time. It is a toxic and divisive game, and he deserves full dispatch.
Thomas “dog barking behind the fence” Massie.
It fits.
That’s his Indian name, lol!
<Thomas “dog barking behind the fence” Massie.>
Massie’s below that…
He’s a sub woofer 🙂
Oh man 🤦🏼♀️
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Insulting to dogs.
LOL!
Massie sent out his “bombshell” on X (formerly Twitter.) That would make him a Tweeter. Although he is not as “bright” as a tweeter should be.
Massie is the perfect example why the howling baby libertarians can’t elect anyone, even to be “dog-catcher” anywhere in the world!
More accurately, a “pit yorkie” yipping behind the fence (with a hat tip to the Great One, Rush Limbaugh).
Or, a yipping chihuahua on a leash.
Massie.This proves Thomas Massie is disingenuous.
And this type of behavior pattern establishes that he is likely maliciously disingenuous on other matters also.
Just sayin’.
I was on the fence about Massie but this issue here just shows hes not serious about solving anything that he says he is. You dont have to like Bongino , Kash or even Trump .. irrelevant here since the veil has been lifted on what hes really about.
I can’t stand Massie. Having said that, there are fib agents involved in the fake pipe bombs, and the fib knows all about it. Current fib leadership might not know, but the fib knows.
Massie is from MIT, which shouldn’t stand for Marxists In Training, but it does.
I have only met one man from MIT in my life and yes he is a Marixist. Jewish and ashamed of being Jewish but a Marxist first.
Tangled with a Bolshevik philosophy professor at MIT. Apparently, it’s illegal to criticize socialism–who knew?
IMO: He has talked MTG into doing the same thing. They are BFFs now. This is the saddest thing to see.
And the president has called her out about it and she doesn’t like it!
IMO: He has talked MTG into doing the same thing. They are BFFs now. This is the saddest thing to see.
Marjorie seems to have lost her mind some time ago.
Remember when she was all smoochie-squeazy with Kevin McCarthy?
Back when he was trying to get in as Speaker of the House?
He’s that Brill Cream guy who looks and acts like Jeff Flake.
Kevin with the Frank Luntz roommate?
Dude was married and by all accounts still is.
So, anyway, Marje has been mad at President Trump since he got back into office.
She seems to be really angry with him.
Not sure why though.
Her chumming around with Massie proves she’s up to no good.
Again.

Good intentions always get ruined after a few years in the sewer. Term limits!
Fine.
But … Dan Bongino’s vociferous repudiation looks very much like the histrionics at Fox News. The outrage industry raises money, but it falls very short of accomplishments.
Hope to be wrong on this; but we see a lot of arm waving and division.
Wearily, patiently awaiting more results.
Or, to put your post into simpler terms: Kabuki Theater.

But … Dan Bongino’s vociferous repudiation looks very much like the histrionics at Fox News. The outrage industry raises money, but it falls very short of accomplishments.
Understood. But to be fair, the audiences of said media also share in the blame game here. Ever heard of “audience capture?” Look it up. It’s what happened to Mr. Bongino during his highly successful podcast years…and it’s a very real and often harsh dynamic in media spheres.
Having recovered from the initial shellshock of the real-world consequences of that dynamic (i.e. looking like a deer in the headlights during a televised interview as you try to reconcile your audiences’ biases w/ actual realities), it appears that Mr. Bongino is doing just fine.
IMHO
“The outrage industry raises money, but it falls very short of accomplishments.”
The outrage industry isn’t falling short of it’s accomplishments. It deliberately grinds to an immediate halt just before it could be held accountable for its actions.
Massie appears to be playing a game, and yet Dan’s response does not even address whether they are, in fact, targeting whistleblowers other than to say “boy howdy thats a rude accusation”… followed by lots of hand waving about how hard he is working – and then throwing the whistleblowers under the bus. working so hard, in fact, that we can’t see or know about any of it unless someone calls them out.
so i am supposed to be enraged at massie as a way to unify the GOP base?
FIRE ALL THESE EFFING CLOWNS.
The endgame is to fracture MAGA. They have their message out already: “MAGA is dead.”
And many here seem happy to be playing their game.
Bongino posted his letter on X.
The pushback is hilarious. 🤣🤣
Not everyone is buying the BS….
and theatrics.
Dan Bongino (@FBIDDBongino): “Congressman Massie,
its clear that he has a chip on his shoulder after the president called him out by name, sad really
He’s had a chip on his shoulder for quite some time now, which lead to the President calling him out by name.
AIPAC put a target on his back, and trump has thus far played right into it, so i do not require any lectures about who is dividing the GOP base.
None of the pronouns (his/him/he) in several of these comments are defined. I’m not stupid and my reading comprehension is fairly decent, but half the time it is not clear who the commenters are talking about when they can’t be bothered to insert an actual name somewhere in connection with the pronoun.
This is sure to upset his fanbase on the Treehouse. Should be interesting.
Massie has fans here?
Go read back through todays presidential thread. They are defending him.
The trolls?
Mostly. But there are some regulars from here that like him.
I think it’s ok if someone (from here) likes or dislikes someone or something .
“If two people agree on everything, one of them isn’t necessary”- Dr. Ben Carson
I have never really liked him. I like any CR less. Especially a total ripoff of a dirty CR. I was defending Massie from criticism from not voting for it. What cannot be defended is this FBI as situated and its lackeys.
Yes
No
🤣
would anyone who asks why we are supposed to hate him be a “fan” in this scenario?
because what i see is most all think he is a pompous idiot, like the overwhelming majority of congress. so far, my tally of why i am supposed to hate him, MTG, tucker, rand paul, etc, includes:
—still wanting to get the truth about epstein
—refusing to support CR’s that kick the economic can down the road and allow congress to worm their way into things without being on record, like we just saw YET AGAIN
—asking why we are giving so much support to israel
and now:
—calling the FBI out for not accomplishing anything.
so i guess i am left wondering which of those is so bad. if i am missing some, i am very open to additions.
I read an interesting comment…not here..🤣
Makes sense and food for thought.🤔🤔
The person said they don’t engage in “attacks “
on other Republicans.
There are plenty of Democrats who deserve to be
called out ….
Why expend energy on attacking our own?
And you know….he does have a point.
Republicans seem to just devour their own…..
instead of working with each other 🤷♀️🤷♀️
Not too many Democrats fight against others
in their party…at least not that is made public🤷♀️🤷♀️
“Republicans seem to just devour their own…..”
They are known on occasion to have this need to stand on principle.
“Not too many Democrats fight against others”
Not to many democrats have ever had any principle to stand on.
I respect and think highly of Lawyer Robert Barnes. Almost weekly I set aside time to view discussions he has with several hosts via Rumble. He is pro-Massie on many issues. And I usually understand his points and agree. I plan to wait this one out before I judge Massie’s tweet.
In my opinion Robert Barnes is in the same league as Sundance. They are the only people I believe or trust anymore.
Intense – I walk your exact same path.
Bongino’s description begs for a meme to be displayed on anything Massie posts online.
Massie is Rand Paul’s doppelgänger or perhaps they are each other’s doppelgänger. Both learned their lessons well from Uncle Mitch McConnell.
What does the unholy trinity have in common? All from Kentucky. Wake up, Bluegrass State. You can do so much better.
Massie is the worst kind of anti Trump anti-MAGA RINO obstructionist.
There is absolutely nothing redeeming about what Massey has been doing. He is totally working against the peoples choice and trying to break up the Trump MAGA voter base.
A pox on his house and everything in it
Throw Rand Paul and others into that camp so they can all smell their own stink.
Gotta be honest, I view Massie and Rand Paul as two very different things. Rand is an ideological purist and I think tries to keep Trump on the straight and narrow- not realizing that real world politics sometimes force one to modify a position. He will throw up road blocks but when we REALLY need him…..he will do what needs to be done. He may piss off Trump, but he also pisses off the left. He’s sort of an equal opportunity troll.
Massie, to me, is an altogether different kettle of fish. He actively provides aid-and-comfort to the most radical leftists in the House on a consistent basis. He almost never upsets them and aims all his fire inside the tent.
Rand aims his fire at everyone. And that is the difference.
☝🏼☝🏼☝🏼
Being a ’88, ’08, ’12 RonPauler, Rand can frustrate me, but, your take on the differences between Rand and Massie is a good one.
Anyone supporting Gov. DisHonest is suspect.
Excellent, Dan! Who is paying Massie and/or what’s he been promised?
He gets re-elected and given some decent committee assignments. Along with all the perks and money that goes with it.
I have been told McConnell people control the KY RNC the way McCain people control the AZ RNC.
Stray to far and get primaried like they did to Rand Paul. Sen. Paul’s been endorsing McConnell and pretty much toeing the company line ever since.

Darn Grandma’s rules…there is so much I would like to say about Massie, but I will just say that I am thrilled that Bongino called him out and leave it at that!
Yup!

Hopefully primaried out of existence.
Kentucky seems riddled with such Losers.
After the GOP put their payout in the bill to reopen , let’s just say anyone who voted for that is a loser
That’s the Bonjino I often listened to in the past. Are these people never going to leave? McConnell, Massie. I thought they had left and yet they devil along.
Funny thing. I’ve been reading CTH since 2013. The very first time I heard the name Thomas Massie was HERE in these comments, where someone posted a link to something about him and remarked, “He is the smartest man in Congress.” For a few years after that, I liked Massie too. But then…
And one of only a handful of Congressmen who does NOT take AIPAC $$. And Trump’s
handlerdonor Miriam Adelson has pledged millions to try and unseat him. Interesting.Doesn’t take money from AIPAC, but still takes money from Jewish billionaires.
I don’t care about either.

stickin w Massie for variety of reasons but have you seen Bongino/Patel/Bondi make headway on arresting?
You’re way OT. Can’t you comprehend what headway Bongino referenced?
Not a Bongino (or FBI) fan by any stretch, but I’m glad to see him call Massie out on this continuous BS.
same here. its one of those moments where i wish they could BOTH LOSE. 😉
Honest curiosity – Any Kentucky Treepers here that could explain why they keep sending representatives to Congress that represent their secret and personal interests and agendas instead of the citizens of Kentucky, thinking Mitch McConnell, Rand Paul and Thomas Massie.
From Nevada I can understand if they were Democrat congressmen given our State, with just over 3 million resident of which about +/- 2.5 million live in the Democrat stronghold of Las Vegas’ Clark county, which holds the rest of the Sagebrush rebellion State hostage except for one lone Republican congressman – are there any actual MAGA republican candidates that could give those three Kentucky representatives a run for their money?
Most of the state comgess critters are GOPe.
I know our Senators and Congessmen are suspect, but honestly, how many GOP anywhere are MAGA?
Maybe 25%
yeah. voter fraud.
uniparty gonna uniparty.
I feel ya.
I’ve got Cruz and Corn pop.
I mean cornen.
Corn pop was a bad dude!
I think with Rand, Massie, and Mitch this is personal. They must have convinced themselves the people of this Country would prefer DeSantis?
Bingo
Sounds to me like Bongino is doing a lot of public whining. I called you, you didn’t call me back, etc. I used to trust what he said, but now he seems to have forgotten much of what he knew to be true before he became the FBI Assistant Director.
The FBI has traditionally gone after whistleblowers in it’s organization. It would not be too much of a stretch to believe they’re doing the same thing with this current whistleblower. This is just my opinion. I don’t know. And no one on this site can say they know either. We’re all just speculating based on what we’ve read or seen. I’m waiting for some action on this matter, not more talk. As the Burger King lady used to say, “Where’s the beef?”.
Typical of such as you. Telling the truth is whining. Not speaking about what’s going on is “nothing has been done, will evrr be done” spiel. Ever popular narratives.
Your ‘reasoning’ based on your projected narrative holds no foundational receipt based on Bongino’s loss of memory. You are entitled to your own opinion based on your admittance that you don’t know. Lumping “no one on this site knows either” with your admission does not make it true; as you would say “too much of a stretch to believe”. Dumping the “We’re all just speculating ..’ does not make for truth, your belief that “they are doing the same thing with the current whistleblower”.
FBI’s tradition. The former – mistrust of the past, of what used to be, and past associations coloring one’s personal current perception and reaction to what is now.
“FBI’s tradition. The former – mistrust of the past, of what used to be, and past associations coloring one’s personal current perception and reaction to what is now.”
a couple of questionable new “leaders” does not institutional change make.
for example, trump is the most consequential, important president of my lifetime, and our last and only hope to slow down the demise of the republic. but him being at the head of the class doesn’t change a thing about what i think of the federal government. i cannot even publicly say most of the things i’d like to see happen to the lot of em.
New “leaders” does not institutional change make: except they do – know thy enemy. Mamdami for one: until people wake up – albeit most of the time, a little too late. The cycle goes on. We all have our own experiences by which we gauge the federal government : true or mistaken, regardless. It’s only because of Trump brand of “leadership” that Americans and, in fact, other global citizens have also been awoken to what their government had been about. Most still do envy us; think we’re blessed to have PDJT; and, because we have the freedom to fight in any position with whatever capacity we have.
As far as “new” in whatever designation : in many cases, the deeper and longer the corruption and deception, people are grateful for those who can unravel and purge the filth in any way that moves forward, one step at a time despite more obstacles. Rome wasn’t built in a day. Minds-alike and akin spirits encourage and bolster one another; leaving no aspect to fracture – mind, body and soul. That is true in every war, regardless of the type, size or might. War histories spanning the globe over time have precedents on this truth. Hope keeps the fighting spirit alive.
So, as an FBI special agent, perhaps you can tell us exactly what is going on at your agency.
Oh, you don’t work for the FBI?
It must be hard for you, knowing everything.
You would make a special kind of FBI special agent, won’t you? Buckle under more pressure to spill the beans when accused of hiding something chump. I see buckling to save your own backside when the FBI wants to know if your brother/sister has the goods on someone (they) want to protect. Family be damned
No, he’s doing what Trump does–calling people who LIE A LOT out!!
It was the “Wendy’s” lady, but…anyway…
Clara Peller did the commercials for Wendy’s.
Obama and Biden along with Comey and Wray intentionally targeted whistleblowers all day every day and Massie didn’t make a peep !!!!
What a monumental A hole .
What was the “protected disclosure” that some supposed FBI whistleblower made? The letter says the disclosure was just made this week, on Tuesday, Nov 11, 2025, so one could assume it may be alleging some wrongdoing by Bongino or someone under his direction.
But, it could also be that one of the previous administration’s holdovers is not happy about Bongino trying to find out what the previous administration, possibly including the supposed whistleblower himself, did that was improper or illegal concerning J6 and the aftermath? If I am not mistaken, the whistleblower statute does not protect the supposed whistleblower from his or her own misconduct. You cannot hide your own misconduct behind a whistleblower disclosure. And in any event, it does not prevent the current administration from doing their own research to find whether the contents of the disclosure are correct and accurate.
“protected disclosure” applies to protect the whistleblower; if the contents of the disclosure are verifiably found to be correct and accurate. The previous administration would naturally convict the whistleblower of improper, illegal wrong-doing; even ginning up entrapments, or the famous phrase “suicided” to convict the messenger; particularly when previous administration entity/entities are guilty themselves of serious offenses.
Bongino has brought in Detectives from normal PDs across the country. That is a huge deal in Fed circles. Fresh non- FBI blood. Will it bear fruit?
Hopefully Massie will be defeated by a person who is MAGA in his primary. He can spend a lot more time with his new wife who he married a year after his first wife died. I truly believe Massie is an unprincipled man like MOST politicians! 💁🏻♀️
Was her cause of death ever disclosed?
I wonder if this applies to Rand Paul as well. Seems like he’s always playing the principled one, while refusing to go along with the votes that matter the most. Just like Massie.
Rand Paul is owned by MarijuanaIndustrialComplex….Big Cannabis industry grows alot of weed in KY…more than tobacco so he’s basically a lobbyiest.
He said he wouldn’t vote for a clean CR unless it protected them from any regulation or rules
Massie isn’t the only one to sow division.
True
Unfortunately, since no mass purging has happened at any government agency during Trumps second term I’m not surprised at all that bogus whistleblowers may become a thing .
And yes, I mean “bogus” because I don’t believe for a minute that legit real whistleblowers are a thing with Kash and Dan , they’re surrounded by enemy combatants .
Way to go Dan B!!
Massie is an operative.
He got married last month to some mystery woman from Pennsylvania (maybe) who is a close associate of Rand Paul. Details on her background including family, education, and work history are sketchy at best.
He’s kinda sorta known her for about a decade. < 0.o
Massie hasn’t done anything but cause trouble.
He has all the markings of a deep state plant.
Speaking of mysteries, what ever happened to Massie’s first wife or is all that still on the down-low?
Marjorie Taylor and Thomas Massie are two rotten peas in a pod.
Bleh.

Massie doesn’t even seem like a RINO, but rather as a straight-up Democrat who just posed as a Republican when running for office. One of the many that local and state GOP organizations are so consistently lousy at ferreting out.
The local and state GOP organizations don’t ferret out people like Massie.
They find and then finance them.

She died of cancer, supposedly. Not that it matters, “where’s the beef” was a Wendy’s commercial. Ha. I seem to see everything through horse/owner prism. Thx Sundance. Who is Massie’s owner? (Anti MAGA Sea Island crowd?) He’s obviously the horse. For that matter; Kash, Dan, fib is owned and run by whom? Massie is a gadfly but sorely disappointed in Patel & Bondi. It’s almost a rerun of President Trump’s first term. The bad cops & corrupt lawfare silk suited woosies need a 3:00 am visit & a perp walk! And we get a letter to a meanie Congress critter. Trying to live the good life in peace. It’s just hard.
Try to keep the issues separate: Massie is a selfish bastard.

There is no evidence she died of cancer.

CheneyMassie….got to go
We haven’t seen any action on exposing the J6 op (pipe bomber, agent provocateurs (Ray Epps)).
What is the hold up?
Why hasn’t the FBI been cleaned up? Only a handful of bad actors have left.
The MAGA base has been divided by the positions of the Trump administration on Epstein and Israel. And now you’re adding to the division.
Seems to me that these attacks on Massie may have to do with his refusal to be bought by AIPAC and other pro-Israel lobbying groups.
No. Not at all. Massie has been a frustration to Trump for a while. Trump finally had it. That is what started the “primary Massie” stuff.
The MAGA base has been divided by the positions of the Trump administration on Epstein and Israel.
Any division in the MAGA base is mostly imaginary.
Promoting the trope that there is some substantial fracture is dishonest and a ridiculous waste of time.
There’s nothing going on with President Trump and that Epstein garbage; if there was anything at all to it the wokey-leftards and RINOs would have used it against President Trump long before now.
The pro/con-Israel ploy is part of an ongoing color revolution-type operation that you are obviously here to stoke.
And now you’re adding to the division.
To whom is that accusation being hurled against?
Sundance?
Seems to me that these attacks on Massie may have to do with his refusal to be bought by AIPAC and other pro-Israel lobbying groups.
Massie is a no-account operative who has never supported President Trump.
If Massie wants to try to virtue signal by gloating with regard to not taking AIPAC money, he can have at it.
Massie has always been a loser and always will be.

I’m not sure I’ve soured on a guy more than Massie in the last 3-4 years. He’s a fake in that his “libertarian” leanings always seem to perpetuate what the leftists desire. Unlike most here I didn’t actually have a problem with him backing DeSantis in as much as I viewed it more as a personal dislike for Trump rather than a policy extention of DeSantis (I thought it was petty, but not dangerous). Be that as it may, I just think the GOP (MAGA or otherwise), just needs to have no use for this clown and while I don’t know if a primary challenge would work, I think total isolation would be just fine. Let him exist in a bubble where nobody acknowledges he exists.
Massie has a big ego even while he pretends to be a humble farmer from Eastern Kentucky? North Eastern Kentucky county that is almost West Virginia and closer to DC than one might imagine.
Wasn’t Massie friends with Chip Roy who is now trying to replace Ken Paxton for AG? Paxton has not endorsed him, possibly because RINO Roy tried to impeach him. Birds of a feather flock together.
Bongio? The guy who did the hostage video telling us Epstein definitely killed himself? With paper sheets? I liked him – still do, I suppose – but I think he’s controlled to some degree now. I make no apologies for saying I trust Massie at least as much as I trust Trump. And while I love TCH’s reporting on a lot of topics, I sense that the angst against Massie stems from his willingness to butt heads with Trump – and he’s been absolutely right on things like the budget, where now even the MAGA position is we should cheer as we rubber-stamp the ludicrous spending Biden/Pelosi schemed up (which tripled down on the outrageous Covid “relief” that doubled down on guaranteed bankruptcy-level spending already taking place).
You keep telling me Massie is part of some big-money cabal out to destroy Trump, but what I keep seeing is someone willing to speak his mind and make a stand even when it costs him. And yes, he says and does things I disagree with. Occasionally. If a politician always does everything you think they should, then take another look at your sources and your principles, because you’re drinking someone’s Cool-Aid.
Hang around a one-legged tribe long enough, and eventually you are gonna start limping.
“Despite the multitude of challenges we faced, one of our first initiatives was to aggressively pursue a new strategy to investigate the January 6 pipe bomb, terror attack. We brought in new personnel to take a look at the case, we flew in police officers and detectives working as TFOs (task force officers) to review FBI work, we conducted multiple internal reviews, held countless in person and SVTC meetings with investigative team members, we dramatically increased investigative resources, and we increased the public award for information in the case to utilize crowd-sourcing leads.”
OK Dan, that’s a lot of time and money spent. Who’s the pipe bomber?
Still awaiting arrests and convictions from countless crimes from Obongo and associates Dan. Who is the dog barking behind the fence?
“Come at me, Bro! I’m your Kryptonite“
Patel and Bongino have done little to nothing . Why is calling them out such an egregious act? Patel is actually worse than useless.
Massie….what a disappointment.
In times like this it’s important to me to focus on the signal to noise ratios. Lots of noise right now.
Massie has all the credentials to be McConnell’s illegitimate son. McConnell is the biggest loser and counterfeit in Washington but this bnut this heap of garbage is narrowing the gap.
Massie is comparable to AOC and the rest of the squad. Who’s payroll is on?

Who the blazes is Bongino speaking of when he says this ? :
“..and some of the media reporting regarding prior persons of interest is grossly inaccurate and serves only to mislead the public…”
Steve Baker is reporting for “The Blaze” that a female Capitol Hill police officer is responsible for the pipe bomb. She now works for CIA. Former FBI whistle blower Kyle Sarafan (?) agrees.
I heard that/know about that one.
The way it was worded made me think there were unknown suspects earlier..
Baker and others are alleging Kerkhoff was the one in the J5 videos and that the coincidences stack up implicating her in being involved (metro ticket from next door, etc). However, many wonder if the bombs were actually planted on J6 shortly before “discovery” (most can’t buy that they sat unnoticed for 17 hours). Let’s not throw Baker totally under the bus until we are completely sure Kerkhoff isn’t involved in the pipe bomb plot at large.
We all wanted to believe the principled libertarian Constitutionalist-schtick.
But Massie is just another playah. The only time he stands on principle is when it kneecaps MAGA. Which is why we and PDT oppose him. It has nothing to do with AIPAC.
It only proves that UNI-PARTY comes in all flavors.
Massie is a slime ball.
Patel and Bongino can’t find the J6 fake pipe bomber?!?
Sorry not buying it.
Who has been arrested for putting innocent J6 and pro-life activist Americans in prison?
Also, Bondi, Patel and Bongino are doing nothing to arrest Shitifa.
Innocent Americans were murdered. J6er’s, President Trump was nearly assassinated and Charlie kirk was assassinated.
Dan Bongino is overworked and pretends not to know things.
Same BS excuses.
You want perfection out of 2 people in an agency where you can bet it takes a long while to distinguish friend from foe.
WTH is Massey doing? It’s not advancing his career, unless he is planning to turn Democrat. Didn’t this clown pretend to be MAGA when it was convenient?
One of his first infamous acts was voting to overturn President Trump’s National Emergency Declaration on the border on 2/26/2019.
I love President Trump, but he needs to talk more about economics and explain in detail how he’s fixing the 4 years of damage under the installed Biden regime caused.
There will be NO justice. The swamp protects themselves.
That starts next week.
