Kash Patel roasted after secret ‘motivational notes’ to himself during Congressional hearing go viral

WASHINGTON, DC: Turns out FBI Director Kash Patel needed a little mirror talk during one of his most bruising rounds on Capitol Hill.

A Getty photographer snapped a picture of Patel’s notes during Wednesday’s heated House Judiciary Committee hearing.

The four lines Patel wrote to himself included, “Good fight w/ Swalwell,” “Hold the line,” “Brush off their attacks,” and “Rise above next line of [illegible] attacks.” That last bit looked smudged, but the mystery word may have been “Partisan" on closer inspection.

Kash Patel's 'good fight' with Eric Swalwell 

It looks like Patel, 45, needed all the positive affirmation he could get after back-to-back grillings on the Hill. During his Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, he didn't really “brush off” the digs thrown his way.

The director sparred loudly with Adam Schiff and Cory Booker, who hammered him on the FBI’s botched 33-hour manhunt for Charlie Kirk’s shooter and lobbed accusations that Patel was covering up Epstein dirt.

By Wednesday, Patel was back clashing with California Democrat Eric Swalwell. The “good fight w/ Swalwell” Patel wrote about was indeed a nasty one.

When Swalwell pressed him on whether any Epstein-related files mentioned President Donald Trump, Patel snapped.

From there, things unraveled. Swalwell mocked Patel’s tone and accused him of dodging. “Why don’t you try spelling it out if you’re going to mock me. Use the alphabet… No? A B C, D E F," he jabbed.

Swalwell then suggested Patel’s cagey answers reeked of “consciousness of guilt,” accusing him of playing a “cute shell game” with the committee. “The court calls bulls***,” Swalwell declared, blasting the DOJ’s excuses about classified files.

Patel shot right back, “I’m going to borrow your terminology and call bulls*** on your entire career in Congress.”

Kash Patel trolled over his pep notes

The FBI Director's leaked scribbles instantly went viral and sparked a wave of mockery on social media.

"Lmfao he's writing words of affirmation to himself," one laughed on X.

"I mean we didn’t need to see this to know it’s all that runs through his head," another snarked.

"Those are the things he probably conveyed to Trump as wins as he begged to keep his job as FBI director," someone else quipped.

"What an absolute loser having to write himself motivational notes because no one loves him," a comment read.

"What an odd, unqualified man," another offered.

Kash Patel’s record under fire

A former cigar entrepreneur, children’s book author, and MAGA podcaster, Director Patel has been under fire from both Democrats and Republicans over the FBI’s refusal to unseal Epstein files.

Patel doubled down Wednesday, insisting there is “no credible information” that Jeffrey Epstein trafficked women to anyone other than himself. He also brushed off testimony from Epstein victims who told the FBI they were trafficked to as many as twenty other men.

Meanwhile, Patel is fighting off a lawsuit filed September 10 by three former senior FBI officials. They allege they were canned for failing “improper loyalty tests” tied to President Trump.

That lawsuit dropped the same morning conservative influencer Charlie Kirk was shot at Utah Valley University. The FBI under Patel reportedly took 33 hours to track down the accused gunman, Tyler Robinson, who ultimately turned himself in.
