Former FBI Director James Comey thought he had covered his tracks.
But the new FBI leadership just discovered something that changes everything.
And Dan Bongino broke one jaw-dropping bombshell that could land James Comey behind bars.
Bongino reveals explosive discovery at FBI headquarters
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino sent shockwaves through Washington, D.C. when he appeared on Fox & Friends Thursday morning with an announcement that nobody saw coming.
The conservative firebrand turned FBI official revealed that investigators discovered an entire room filled with mishandled and hidden evidence from the James Comey era.
Bongino didn’t mince words about the gravity of what they found.
“Wait ’til you read this stuff that’s coming out,” Bongino told Fox & Friends host Lawrence Jones.
The discovery came just weeks after the new FBI leadership took over the bureau, suggesting the evidence had been deliberately concealed from incoming officials.
When Jones asked if Comey still had loyalists in the building who might be hiding evidence, Bongino’s response painted a picture of an FBI divided between those horrified by past corruption and those who enabled it.
“We were there a couple of weeks, and luckily, there were people up there who grabbed us by the arm and said, ‘Thank you for being here,'” Bongino explained. “There are people there who are really horrified at what happened.”
A secret room filled with Comey-era evidence
The details of Bongino’s discovery sound like something out of a political thriller.
But this is real life, and the implications could be devastating for the former FBI Director.
“There was a room and we found a lot of stuff. A hidden room. I wouldn’t call it hidden, but hidden from us, at least, and not mentioned to us,” Bongino revealed. “We found stuff in there, and a lot of it’s from the Comey era.”
The fact that veteran FBI agents felt compelled to physically grab Bongino and thank him for being there speaks volumes about the culture of fear and corruption that apparently existed under Comey’s leadership.
These agents knew about problems but apparently felt powerless to address them until new leadership arrived.
Bongino promised that the FBI is working to declassify the documents as quickly as possible.
“A lot of stuff is from the Comey era, and we are working our damndest to declassify… Once that gets done, and you read some of the stuff we found, you’re going to be stunned,” he said.
The timing couldn’t be worse for Comey
This revelation comes at a particularly bad time for James Comey, who recently posted what many interpreted as a threatening message toward President Trump.
Bongino’s appearance on Fox & Friends also included discussion of the FBI’s decision to reopen multiple Biden-era investigations of “significant public interest.”
The discovery of hidden evidence raises serious questions about what else might be lurking in the shadows of the FBI building.
If an entire room of evidence could be concealed from incoming leadership, what other secrets might the bureau be harboring?
Conservative commentator Nick Sortor captured the gravity of the situation in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
“Comey’s days as a free man are numbered,” Sortor wrote while sharing video of Bongino’s explosive announcement.
The fact that multiple FBI agents were “horrified” by what happened under Comey’s leadership suggests this could be just the tip of the iceberg.
What happens next could change everything
Bongino’s promise that Americans will be “stunned” by what’s in these documents has Washington insiders on edge.
The declassification process typically moves at a glacial pace, but Bongino’s emphasis that they’re working their “damndest” to speed things up suggests urgency.
For years, conservatives have accused the FBI of becoming politicized under Comey’s leadership, from the handling of Hillary Clinton’s email investigation to the Russia collusion hoax.
Now it appears concrete evidence might finally emerge to validate those concerns.
The discovery also raises questions about accountability.
If evidence was deliberately hidden from new FBI leadership, that could constitute obstruction of justice or other serious crimes.
James Comey has maintained his innocence and insisted he always acted with integrity during his time at the FBI.
But a room full of hidden evidence tells a different story.
As Bongino works to declassify these documents, James Comey might want to lawyer up.
Because if the contents are as explosive as Bongino suggests, the former FBI Director’s problems are just beginning.
