Dan Bongino Warns Obama After DOJ Comments Spark Firestorm

Former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino issued a pointed warning to former President Barack Obama this week after the 44th president criticized the Trump administration’s handling of the Department of Justice, escalating an already intensifying political and legal battle over the alleged weaponization of federal law enforcement.

The dispute erupted after Obama appeared for an interview with noted anti-Trump late-night host Stephen Colbert, where he accused President Donald Trump of improperly directing prosecutions against political opponents.

“The White House shouldn’t be able to direct the attorney general to go around prosecuting whoever,” Obama said during the interview. “The idea is that the attorney general is the people’s lawyer. It’s not the president’s consigliere.”
