James Comer touts how deep state days are ‘about to end’ on Trump’s watch – Washington Examiner
In a recent discussion on Fox News, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, a Republican from Kentucky, expressed strong support for President-elect Donald Trump’s impending administration, particularly regarding his Cabinet nominations. Comer stated that these selected individuals aim to dismantle what he termed the “deep state” influence within the U.S. government. He highlighted the FBI’s current trajectory as problematic, suggesting that it has deviated from its primary mission to target criminals in favor of going after those considered threats to deep state interests.
Comer made bold claims, saying “the days of the deep state are about to end under Donald Trump,” and stressed that the American public had lost trust in institutions like the FBI due to perceived injustices under the Biden administration. He expressed optimism about Trump’s nominees, particularly Kash Patel, whom he believes can restore the FBI’s tarnished reputation. Additionally, he praised the initiative to establish a Department of Government Efficiency, co-led by billionaires like Elon Musk, hinting at forthcoming changes aimed at improving government operations.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) argued that President-elect Donald Trump is nominating “the right people” for his second administration’s Cabinet, all of whom will work to end the control “the deep state” has on the U.S. government.
The FBI is among the portions of the government the incoming Trump administration is planning to reshape, a move for which Comer offered his support and argued the FBI’s current leadership has made it stray from its “core mission” of pursuing criminals and instead targeting “anyone that they feel is a threat to their deep state supremacy.”
BIDEN TO USE LAME-DUCK SESSION TO ‘TRUMP-PROOF’ LEGACY
“The days of the deep state are about to end under Donald Trump,” Comer said on Fox News Live. “He’s put the right people in place at the Department of Justice, at the CIA, at the FBI, and I think this is what the American people voted for. They knew under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, we’ve had a two-tiered system of justice in America. Juries across America have lost confidence in FBI testimony.”
Comer added that the FBI’s reputation is “so tarnished,” and that it will take someone like Kash Patel, who Trump just nominated to be FBI director, to rebuild what the FBI lost trust among the public. The chairman of the House Oversight Committee also said he is “very excited” over Patel’s nomination, arguing the FBI’s leadership under current director Christopher Wray “needs to be purged.”
Another factor about the incoming Trump administration that Comer is enthusiastic about is the Department of Government Efficiency, which is being co-led by billionaires Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. Comer stated that House Republicans have attempted to achieve “good government” for some time, but now will be able to give voters what they voted for with DOGE’s help.
Comer argued the nation’s debt is “not acceptable,” and DOGE will help control the government’s spending. When asked if many bureaucrats would lose their jobs over DOGE, Comer stated “I hope so,” and that one key factor that could contribute to these firings is DOGE mandating in-person work again after the COVID-19 pandemic.
Musk’s mother, Maye Musk, stated last week that besides mandating in-person work, her son and Ramaswamy will also ask employees what they achieved over the past week. She argued that by doing just these two things, it will “eliminate a lot of people” from their jobs.
