I don't think you're fitting him to be here, 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 gonna 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.
