In the comment section, netizens speculated why Patel appeared wide-eyed and anxious in the clip, with some trolling the FBI director. One user wrote, “Looks like cocaine :/”. “Conditions like hyperthyroidism or certain congenital and structural traits can make the eyes appear more prominent. He’s always looked this way, his eye shape is part of his inherited physical traits, not something he chose. Maybe stop mocking people for features they were born with and can’t change,” one user wrote, while another said, “He’s got the “I have to give a book report and I haven’t read the book” face. I know it well.” “27 monster energy drinks before the meeting,” said a user.

Just a little nervous,” one user said. Another wrote, “He could get a confession quickly by sitting quietly and staring at me!”
