Deputy Director Dan Bongino, who was described in the report as something of a clown, dismissed the assessment as gossipy nonsense and stated that people upset at FBI reforms leak information to media outlets with a clear agenda while ignoring historic results.

Multiple sources in the report criticized both Patel and Bongino for spending too much time on social media and public relations, with FBI employees reportedly learning about bureau operations through leadership's social media posts rather than official internal channels.
