FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino delivered a stunning takedown of former bureau director James Comey in an interview with "Fox & Friends" early Thursday morning.

Bongino provided wide-ranging criticism of the former FBI chief, an epicene hero on the left since President Trump took office, who recently found himself in hot water over a blatant violent call to 'get rid of' the Commander-in-Chief.

Bongino first noted that upon being sworn in, he and FBI Director Kash Patel had to "rebuild public trust" due to numerous bad actors over the years, one of whom he noted is "still out there causing us all kinds of trouble."

He then pointed to Comey's assassination threat. Comey, as our readers know, issued a thinly veiled threat against President Trump when he posted a picture of a seashell arrangement reading "86 47," claiming to have stumbled upon the display during a walk on the beach.

The "86" portion of the message means to "get rid of," though some believe it means to remove a person through violent means. Comey insisted he had no idea what "86" meant, an impossibility considering his career path in law enforcement.

Bongino mocked him for blaming his wife for the beach photo, and contends the bureau has had to deal with copycat actors who have emulated the former FBI director's threat. 

"Let me just add about James Comey - you know, Saint Comey - who walks around there moralizing to everyone how wonderful of a human being he is," he said. "We have wasted countless manhours now, running out tips to our tipline about people putting '86 47' because of Jim Comey."

"Because he can not control himself and his emotions. He is a child. He is a big child."

Bongino Destroys James Comey—the Man Who 'Brought Shame to the FBI Badge'—Over Deranged '86 47' Post

On that note, Bongino is correct. Comey is an unmitigated embarrassment to the law enforcement sector in which he formerly served. Worse, he's morphed into an incredibly effeminate shell (pun intended) of himself, allowing Trump to live rent-free in his head. Particularly during walks on the beach.

I can think of only a handful of people who have transitioned toward higher levels of estrogen in recent years, including Bruce Jenner, Prince Harry, and Adam Kinzinger.

The Deputy Director also described the "depravity" of Comey in accurate terms.

"This man is a disgrace to the badge, the FBI, and the country."

Amen.

Bongino proceeded to drop a bombshell about the potential mishandling of evidence during Comey's tenure as FBI director. He claimed they found a room "hidden from us" that was from the Comey era, containing interesting materials, to say the least.

🚨 JUST IN: Dan Bongino says they’ve discovered an entire ROOM full of intentionally mishandled and hidden evidence from Comey’s FBI

“We found it in bags, hiding under Jim Comey's FBI, you're going to be stunned.”

"There was a room and we found stuff," Bongino stated, making it clear the FBI is hoping to declassify the material through proper channels and could require some time. 

"Once you read some of the stuff we found that, by the way, was not processed through the normal procedure, digitizing it, putting it in FBI records," he added. "We found it in bags, hiding under Jim Comey's FBI."

"You're going to be stunned." 

The stunning part isn't that Comey is a corrupt weasel who mishandled evidence. The stunning part would be if someone like him were actually held accountable for his corruption.
