And now that I have my own justice system and I've got dark money and I'm corrupt, and Chris Maddy says I run a corrupt operation, ripping people off. That's defamation, buddy. And he says he wants to shut me down. That's malice of forethought and tends to do harm.

He started shit talking Tom Massey about it. And he said explicitly to Tom Massey Massey has told me, and he's published it online, that Bongino was going to personally bankroll the defamation lawsuit by Shawnee Kirkhoff against reporters and anybody that was involved in sharing the suit. And they also threatened members of Massey's staff with indictment.
