FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino dropped an alarming update on his official “X” account on Saturday that appeared to suggest there is a massive and highly secretive level of corruption throughout the federal government.

In a lengthy post, Bongino said that what he’s seen “has shocked me down to my core,” adding that the way the country is currently being run isn’t sustainable.

“During my tenure here as the Deputy Director of the FBI, I have repeatedly relayed to you that things are happening that might not be immediately visible, but they are happening.

The Director and I are committed to stamping out public corruption and the political weaponization of both law enforcement and intelligence operations,” the post begins. “It is a priority for us. But what I have learned in the course of our properly predicated and necessary investigations into these aforementioned matters, has shocked me down to my core. We cannot run a Republic like this. I’ll never be the same after learning what I’ve learned.”

He added: “We are going to conduct these righteous and proper investigations by the book and in accordance with the law. We are going to get the answers WE ALL DESERVE. As with any investigation, I cannot predict where it will land, but I can promise you an honest and dignified effort at truth. Not ‘my truth,’ or ‘your truth,’ but THE TRUTH,” he said.
