He suggests it was an oversight...it's irony since he wouldn't understand double entendre:

Mike Johnson? That doesn't seem likely.

It was a warning. Not like they'll do anything about it

He doesn't actually give a shit, he's just forced to say something because Bondi was so sloppy there's photographs of the search history in her binder.
Notice he says he assumes this is an oversight, and not "how dare u" or that he'll do anything.
Getting caught was an oversight.

Have Capitol Police detain them in a 'secure hidden location'. Like a 55 gallon drum that's been welded shut and covered in concrete.
I'm not fucking joking. Just do it, then say you don't have records of what happened to them, or that you can't divulge the location for national security purposes. Anyone that comes to investigate, do the same to them, until the point is observed. If you step into the capitol to lie to Congress, you don't fucking leave. No matter what your title, or net worth.

I'm just wondering what the fuck they hoped to leverage this shit for.
like, this took time and effort and an intention to break laws - who the fuck thought the payoff would be worth it, and what did it get them? aside from caught in the act?

So is she assuming the role of J. Edgar Hoover because Patel is even more incompetent than her?
