Despite the inspiring work Patel executes against child predators, the director's obligations routinely drag him into adversarial hearings before Congress. There he faces lawmakers like Representative Maline Dean, who attempts to undermine his credibility with accusations of “weaponizing” law enforcement for personal vendettas. However, Patel rises to the occasion, delivering a retort that stuns his critics.
When Dean questions him about the “enemies list” mentioned in his book "Government Gangsters," Patel strikes back, insisting merely to highlight the failures of individuals who went against their constitutional obligations. His rhetoric resonates, leaving Dean and her supporters momentarily speechless.
