Mr. Patel, in just eight months you have assaulted the institutional integrity of the FBI.

But I know FBI field agents. I've worked with them in Newark.

No matter how truly bad you are, you can't undermine the legacy of agents who fight every day to keep us safe,

but you can tarnish the integrity of the agency and under mind the agency's capacity.

I believe you're failing as a leader and that your failure does have serious implications

for the safety and security of Americans and our families.

We're more vulnerable to domestic and foreign attack because of your failures of leadership.

I don't think you're fitting him in the Bureau.

But here's the thing, Mr. Patel.

I think you're not going to be around long.

I think this might be your last oversight hearing.

Because as much as you supplicate yourself to the will of Donald Trump

and not the Constitution of the United States of America,

Donald Trump has shown us in his first term and in this term,

he is not loyal to

people like you. He will cut you loose. This may be the last time I have a hearing with you because

I don't think you're long for your job, but I'm going to tell you this. I pray for you. I pray for you

that you can step up and defend your oath, defend the Constitution,

and do a much better job of defending this country. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Do you want to say anything? Yes, sir. That rant of false information does not bring this country together.

If you want to work on bringing this country, it's my time, not yours.

My God, my God.
