INTERVIEW – DAN BONGINO – former Secret Service agent and author of new book “The Fight: A Secret Service Agent’s Inside Account of Security Failings and the Political Machine”
- Ex-Secret Service agent: Media missing 1 huge wiretap point.‘The FBI’s not going to tell the Secret Service if they’re monitoring the president-elect.’ President Trump has caught plenty of flak from the establishment media and members of Congress for his weekend statement that his predecessor, Barack Obama, had Trump Tower wiretapped while Trump was still a candidate. Some believe Trump is lying, while others think he may have pressured the FBI to tell him about an investigation against him. But Dan Bongino, a former Secret Service agent, says there’s a third possibility no one is considering. He shared his thoughts in a video posted to his Facebook page over the weekend. “The Secret Service does ECM sweeps, electronic counter-measures, where they go in frequently and look for listening devices, radio frequencies, all kinds of things to make sure the president or president-elect is not being, in fact, wiretapped or listened in on on specific phone lines,” Bongino revealed. Bongino, who wrote about his time in the Secret Service in his book “Life Inside the Bubble: Why a Top-Ranked Secret Service Agent Walked Away From It All,” said if Trump were being wiretapped or surveilled, it’s highly unlikely that he walked into the FBI and demanded to know.
