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.\u201d \u201cThat rant of false information does not bring this country together. If you want to work on bringing this country \u2014 It\u2019s my time, not yours.\u201d \u201cYou can try all you want to not take responsibility for what you have said.\u201d \u201cYou had your time.\u201d \u201cSir, you are making a mockery of this committee.\u201d \u201cYour time is over.\u201d \u201cYou\u2019ve gutted the bureau of institutional knowledge and expertise. You\u2019ve fired or pushed out seasoned F.B.I. officials. It makes me think we can\u2019t trust you as a nation. You swear to release the Epstein files, but now you\u2019re withholding the Epstein files.\u201d \u201cOn the day of the horrific shooting of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University, Director Patel again sparked mass confusion by incorrectly claiming on social media that the shooter was in custody, which he then had to walk back with another social media post. He violated one of the basics of effective law enforcement: At critical stages of an investigation, shut up and let the professionals do their job.\u201d \u201cIn my commitment to work with the public to help identify subjects and suspects, I put that information out. And then when we interviewed him, I put out the results of that. And could I have been more careful in my verbiage and included \u2018a subject\u2019 instead of \u2018subject\u2019? Sure.\u201d \u201cSo that was a mistake.\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t see it as a mistake.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>new video loaded: F.B.I.
