I've been meaning to ask this: Is Dan Bongino a whitehat?
I feel like certain figures in media are probably /ourguy/, or at least have our guys as sources. Dan Bongino seems like one of them.
We already know Anderson Cooper is a former spook, we've all seen the CIA pin, and Dan Bongino is "former" SS.
Q would never out him if he was, but I strongly suspect it. Dan at least has clearances he doesn't disclose.
