Governor Lombardo Signals Support For Kash Patel As FBI Director

Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo (R) took to social media last Friday afternoon calling for needed reforms at the FBI and expressed he was “looking forward to hearing Mr. Patel’s ideas for the Bureau.”

“We must bring universal and unequivocal justice back to the heart of our nation’s top law enforcement agency,” Lombardo announced.

With my background in law enforcement, I can attest that reform is long overdue at the FBI.

I look forward to hearing Mr. Patel’s ideas for the Bureau.

We must bring universal and unequivocal justice back to the heart of our nation's top law enforcement agency.

Kash Patel, a Nevada resident and Senior Advisor to President Donald Trump on National Security and Defense, has been nominated to head the embattled bureau and has already faced headwinds ahead of his expected confirmation hearing next month. Patel’s book “Government Gangsters” was referred to as a blueprint by President Trump to depoliticize the agency and eradicate “the Deep State.”

“The FBI has become so thoroughly compromised that it will remain a threat to the people unless drastic measures are taken,” Patel claimed in his book.

In an interview with The Globe, Patel reiterated his claims of a “two-tier system of justice” in a weaponized government:

For me, the two-tier system of justice, and I told President Trump this, is the Deep State’s weapon of choice…

President Trump definitely took a chunk out of the swamp, but the problem was he didn’t know how vast and deep it was. I don’t think many do or did.

Again, it wasn’t a Republican or Democrat thing. It was a uni-party establishment class that had been seeded into DC for decades. Donald Trump was the first one to go in there and rip the lid off of how they operated for these last 50 years. So, I think he did a good job starting it, and I understand that people were pretty upset at him for not cleaning the whole place out, but I believe 100 percent he will finish the job should he go back next January.

Because now he gets it and he has learned, as we have all learned, that the swamp was way deeper and way more sinister than we ever thought.

What does finishing the job look like?

I think to me, finishing the job would be restoring the constitutional, single-tier system of justice. To not find people and make up crimes for political vendettas. To have an intelligence community and national security apparatus at DOD. Focus on the national security mission, which is the border. Once again ending the forever wars, taking on the CCP, Iran, and Russia, and our other adversaries around the world.

To me, a President who focuses on those things is mission critical and mission success for the American people. Right now, we’ve seen the Biden administration weaponizing every one of those issues in agencies and departments for political gain and we’re living in the consequences: two more world wars, a disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal, 13 dead soldiers, and the DOD has continued to drone strike children in response to it to try to take a victory lap and lie about it to the American public.

So, it’s pretty scary right now and President Trump is the only one who can fix it.

In a  subsequent interview with The Globe, Patel signals that the FBI, under a Trump administration, will be involved in Trump’s mass deportation policy targeting criminal illegal aliens and terrorists that have been released into the interior of the United States by the Biden Administration. Patel told The Globe, “I do believe that once we unleash law enforcement, intelligence, and the defense apparatus in this country, we can go out and find out all of the illegal terrorists that cross into our community and arrest them…[Nevadans] are being directly impacted by the illegal criminals coming into this nation. Because of our geographic location, we are literally on the front line.”
