Former FBI Director James Comey is blasting the top two officials at the bureau, Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino, for their lack of experience as well as their re-examination of several unsolved cases, including cocaine found at the White House during Joe Biden’s term in office.
On Monday, Bongino posted a message on X stating: “Shortly after swearing in, the Director and I evaluated a number of cases of potential public corruption that, understandably, have garnered public interest. We made the decision to either re-open, or push additional resources and investigative attention, to these cases.
“These cases are the DC pipe bombing investigation, the cocaine discovery at the prior administration’s White House, and the leak of the Supreme Court Dobbs case. I receive requested briefings on these cases weekly and we are making progress. If you have any investigative tips on these matters that may assist us then please contact the FBI.”
Thanks for following this account and allowing us to update you about what we’re doing at your FBI. A few updates:
-The Director and I will have most of our incoming reform teams in place by next week. The hiring process can take a little bit of time, but we are approaching that…

Appearing with Wolf Blitzer on CNN Wednesday, Comey said: “It’s a little confusing to me honestly. I’m sure it’s a huge adjustment to go from being a podcaster to being the deputy director of the FBI. But I don’t understand this tweet.”
“First of all, I assume that this investigation of the pipe bomb that was found on Jan. 6 was never closed. The FBI never closes such a thing. So I guess it means they’re gonna focus on it more?
“And as to the other things, I thought that the Supreme Court marshal had investigated the leak of the opinion, the draft opinion. I don’t know what the FBI’s role is there.
“Cocaine at the White House, I thought the Secret Service investigated that. I don’t follow it and understand it. I also don’t understand who the audience is for this tweet. The FBI often calls for public assistance or in matters of great public concern will announce an investigation to reassure the public. This seems much more narrowly targeted, maybe to a former podcast audience.”
JUST IN: James Comey SLAMS Dan Bongino and Kash Patel for reopening and increasing investigations into the Biden White House cocaine, J6 pipe bomber, and the Supreme Court Dobbs leak
Comey is in total self-preservation mode.

Blitzer also played a May 8 clip of U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., asking Patel about the fiscal year 2026 budget request for the FBI, which Patel said was not ready at the time.
“I cringe at that clip,” Comey remarked. “I actually feel kind of sorry for the guy. It’s like showing up for a final exam with no pencils and no paper, and you didn’t even know there was a final exam.”
“Nothing in their life or in their career gives me confidence that they know anything about leading an organization like that. And so I would have serious doubts. I bet they do internally about whether they have doubts. Great. Let the people who know what they’re doing give you advice and listen to them.”
Online journalist Benny Johnson noted: “Disgraced James Comey is losing it on live TV over Dan Bongino and Kash Patel reopening investigations into the White House cocaine, the J6 pipe bomber, and the Dobbs leak. This is how you know they are right over the target.”
Comey has recently come under fire for posting a photo of shells on the beach arranged to spell out the message: “86 47,” which many have said is a threat to assassinate President Donald Trump.
Comey has claimed he thought it was a “political message,” but did not believe it was any call to violence against the president.
