Dan Bongino and Obama

Dan the Secret Service agent had once defended former President Barack Obama on his life, but now says “the fog of scandals in the Obama administration” is inside to look at the Obamacare debate which led him to turn his badge, on his former boss, and to run for Congress as a Republican.

Dan went behind the scenes for 12 years in the room during the most important conversations,” Bongino told ABCNews.com about the access that he had to high-level discussions inside the White House. Bongino’s former colleagues were unhappy with him after parlaying his proximity to the president into a political career.

The agents that Bongino worked with told the ABCNews.com that had a trial to draw attention to himself and for hijacking the Secret Service brand,”. “That’s all he’s got going for him.” Bongino, who protected presidents Obama and George W Bush, is running for the Republican nomination in Maryland’s 6th Congressional District, a seat occupied by Democrat John Delaney.

The election will be held next year. Bongino was careful not to say too much about what he exactly saw and what he heard while protecting the president, hints that “It’s worse than people know. They’d be shocked, scared if they knew everything.”

“Being a Secret Service agent, have been an obligation not to disclose personal conversations and security details,” he told ABCNews.com. “But that doesn’t prevent me from speaking generally about foundational principles and the system of patronage and punishment I saw in the Obama administration.”

The defining moment, he says, when he decided to leave the service and enter politics, came after overhearing a series of secret negotiations inside the White House in President Obama’s first term. “If there was one event that helped make up my mind, the most visceral was the Obamacare debate. The public doesn’t have any idea how many deals were cut on that.

The Republican Party has a reputation for being the party of big business, but you wouldn’t think that if you saw the Obamacare debate. So many people were sold out, and so many sold out, it’s disgusting,” he said. Bongino was Maryland’s Republican candidate for Senate in 2012 but lost handily to incumbent Sen. Ben Cardin.

He’s planning released a memoir about his time in the service in that month. Bongino said he was “very complimentary about the president and his family,” but the Obama administration had become enmeshed in many scandals. The Secret Service agents served with Bongino but they asked for anonymity that confirmed his resume, but he said that the candidate “tends to exaggerate his importance on the presidential detail and exaggerate his proximity.”

The agents said “We don’t sit in meetings at the White House. We don’t sit on high-level meetings,”. The agents said again that Bongino’s assignments were “typical” of agents in the president’s detail and that he was not the supervisor. Since Bongino’s resignation agents were required to sign a non-disclosure agreement.

Then the Secret Service agents received a secret clearance, but unlike agents in the intelligence agencies, they were not legally bound to disclose what they saw and what they heard while at work. “Congressman Delaney is focused on serving his constituents and he is not paying his attention to the Republican primary,” a spokesman for the Democrat incumbent said in a statement.
