Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has announced his resignation from the state AG position to take a role at the top of the FBI silo. Pam Bondi has appointed Andrew Bailey as Co-Deputy FBI Director to serve alongside Dan Bongino.
This outcome and appointment make a lot of sense. Missouri AG Andrew Bailey helped expose the DHS manipulation of social media and has pushed the envelope against the Deep State/Lawfare attacks against Donald Trump.
Bailey has used the power of his office for good purposes and provided cautious optimism he could do the same at a federal level in the position. {GO DEEP}
Two weaknesses with the appointment of Kash Patel and Dan Bongino were that neither of them had large institutional leadership experience, and neither had organized long investigative processes within the legal system. The concerns therein were never about intent, but rather, their ability.
Andrew Bailey provides a boost in experience that both the Director and Deputy are lacking. This is not a slight against Kash Patel and Dan Bongino, the appointment of a subject matter expert is strategically necessary.
