In what felt like a cross between a spy thriller and a bad storage audit, Dan Bongino—now Deputy Director of the FBI and former MAGA-favorite pundit— told Fox News this week a tantalizing tidbit. According to Bongino, someone found bags of evidence allegedly tied to the James Comey era in a “hidden” area at FBI headquarters.
“I wouldn’t call it hidden, but hidden,” Bongino said cryptically during his segment on Fox & Friends, giving his conspiracy theory fans a whole lot of nothing to work with. The hosts feigned skepticism, nodding along with just enough to appear to be journalists, as the comments hung in the air like the cigar smoke of a conspiracy theory just getting lit.
