Former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino claims that the Obama wiretapping scandal is going to “blow wide open” this week. According to Bongino, the mainstream media is making a huge mistake in mistakingly assuming that the #Obamagate scandal will fizzle into nothing. Bongino worked for former Presidents George W.
