Patel spoke to critics who believed there was a “two-tier system of justice.”
“I'm not with the Attorney General,” he asserted the skeptic. “Every American has a singular system of justice and is accountable.”
“We support the Constitution. We will maintain ourselves in the Constitution. FBI men and women – I have your back because you have the back of the American people.” He said. “You will be held to the same high standard. Any deviation from this standard will not be tolerated by this Federal Bureau of Investigation.”
