'HE IS A CHILD!': FBI Deputy Director Bongino Calls James Comey a 'Disgrace to the Badge' [WATCH]

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino slammed former Director James Comey on Thursday, accusing him of forcing the agency to “waste resources” investigating 8,647 threats against President Donald Trump—threats he says were sparked by Comey’s now-deleted Instagram post.

After Comey posted a photo of seashells arranged as “8647,” FBI Director Kash Patel said Wednesday the image triggered a wave of copycat threats and pulled agents away from real national security concerns.

On Fox & Friends, Deputy Director Dan Bongino called Comey a “disgrace” to the country and accused him of cashing in on his self-made victim narrative.

“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.”

Bongino also talks Trump assassination attempts, Jeffrey Epstein, and more.

Earlier this week, FBI Director Kash Patel also blasted Comey, telling Fox News’ Bret Baier that agents have had to hold off their investigations into child sex predators, terrorists, and drug traffickers in order to investigate copycats of Comey’s IG post.
