Oh wow, I just listened to this and @micahloewinger.bsky.social's interview of Cam Higby (MAGA TikTok influencer with a Pentagon press pass) is fascinating. Especially the hilarious part where Cam thinks people listening to it will think Micah comes off poorly.

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino now admits that when he peddled bogus conspiracy theories about the pipe-bombs case, he didn’t know what he was talking about.
“I was paid in the past for my opinions,” he said.
I’m not sure if he’s fully thought this through. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...
