Social media mocks FBI chief

The notes were noticed during a House Judiciary Committee hearing, where Patel repeatedly clashed with Democrats, especially California Congressman Eric Swalwell, over Jeffrey Epstein’s case files. Swalwell questioned Patel about the Justice Department’s refusal to unseal certain grand jury documents related to Epstein, and specifically asked if any files mentioned former President Donald Trump, according to the report.

Patel responded angrily, saying, “Your fixation on this matter and baseless accusations that I’m hiding child pedophiles is disgusting”.

Swalwell pressed further, asking if Patel told Attorney General Pam Bondi that Trump’s name was in the Epstein files. When Patel didn’t immediately answer, Swalwell repeated the question slowly, prompting Patel to snap back, “Why don’t you try to spell it out if you’re going to mock me? Use the alphabet, A, B, C, D, E, F”, as mentioned in the report by News18.

Overall, the pep talk notes and Patel’s reactions became a trending topic, with critics calling them funny, sad, and loser-like, showing how social media quickly mocked a government official’s private strategies.
