I find it hard to believe Bongino left a very successful podcast and radio show, along with a growing network he owned along with a piece of Rumble, to go to DC and do nothing but keep the status quo.

He's only been there a couple weeks so I'll give him a pass on this report card.
Like Sunshine transferring in after practice started for the Titans.

Swamp swamp swampity swamp.

Project 25 promised us political prosecutions. Definitely an F for Bondi. Gaetz would have delivered by now.

Agree
I have to address the trashing of Kash and Dan. Caveat: I have not spoken to Dan since he left the show, I've only texted with him about things not at all related to work. This is going to take a minute so bear with me.
When we first started the radio show, we had 2 months to put everything together: the production elements, discussion of how it was going to work, putting the clock together, recording bumpers, etc. We then had a week of practice before going on the air. When we hit the air, it took months of angst and tinkering, and making changes before we finally hit our stride. And do you know what we didn't have? A cabal of people lined up working against our success, in fact trashing us at every turn. That's something we didn't have to face.
So, then Dan decides to leave his highly successful, multi-million dollar job, while launching a new network, to take a job in the government, giving up a lot of money, family time, and freedom to try to do what he's talked about on the podcast and the radio, at a great risk to his reputation if the status quo was to remain. Who does that? I'll, tell you who: A guy who has talked about a problem for years and wants to be involved in stopping it.
So why have you "seen no results?" Kash has been there 6 weeks and Dan's been there a month. Ask yourself, if you took the job, what are the first things you're doing overseeing an organization with 38,000 people, with half to more than half determined to sabotage everything you want to do? You don't know who they are yet, you don't know what they're doing to sabotage you, you have scores of investigations open, millions of documents and data to go through, you're getting emails and reports from so many people, you have to decipher what is real and what is not, and you've only had less than a month? Does this sound like the ideal situation to jump into after you've run your own businesses the way you wanted because you were in charge and knew the people you worked with and if they were loyal to you or not? Do you want the agency run the way it was, not paying attention to the rule of law, not having the evidence you need to prosecute someone, just doing it because it will feed the base red meat only to blow up in your face within months, weeks or days?
Does this sound like a recipe to have immediate action taken against individuals or entities just because you've been waiting for it? If you want to assume you should this is what he took the job for, giving up everything he's had to give up, you're delusional and you really don't want to see any real lasting change made.
How can I be certain of all this? Because I know him. And I know the kind of person is. And I know he's working to improve the agency, the government and the country because he loves it and is a real patriot and he would not have taken the job unless he could effect some real change. Don't think he's not working every single day to do just that, and not for him, because he didn't need this. He's doing this for you.

I dealt with Steve a lot while he was at Washington. First thing to know is he is incredibly bright. He learned a lot at Washington and fought some demons. He's a bright, articulate, charming, engaging guy who is also competitive as hell. He's appeared to put his demons behind him.
You're going to love Sark. It will be interesting to see who he fills his staff with. Knowing the competitive nature of Sark, I'm sure he negotiated a large assistant salary pool. If he gets Tosh Lupoi on staff, watch out. Tosh is one of the best recruiters I've ever dealt with. He's currently with Atlanta.
He's an outstanding recruiter and phenomenal working with QB's. He trusts his guys and has an edge. Guys love playing for him.
Texas didn't hit a home run with Sark. They hit a grand slam.

Don't know if I'd give Bondi an F
I don't follow all this crap as much as most of the board, though. I've been off Farcebook a lot, so I haven't seen the political feeds from there as much. My main sources have been biased wing nut radio shows and Slug Tavern. 😶

I'm sort of in your camp on Bondi but she did run her mouth off on Epstein and then it has been radio silence.
