Rather than answer directly, Patel deflected, attacked reporters, and at one point told a journalist that the answer to their question was that they were lying. Todd Blanche stepped in asking for "a little respect" after Patel's outburst toward the press.

Hawk reacts live to the full press conference, noting Patel's visible anxiety, evasive non-answers, and the body language of a man who clearly believed he was about to be fired after being locked out of the FBI network due to a technical glitch he reportedly mistook for termination.

Also covered: Patel's defamation lawsuit against The Atlantic, the hundreds of FBI agents currently suing Patel for allegedly unlawful terminations, the question of personal immunity in those cases, and whether his claim that arrests related to the 2020 election are "imminent" will age as poorly as Pam Bondi's promise about the Epstein client list.
