Texts put out by the FBI as part of the Epstein document release show Director Kash Patel pushing his spokesman to engage in a social media brawl with an X account called "IFindR*tards." In a text exchange flagged by national security journalist Seth Hettena, Patel sent an X post from the "IFindR*tards" account to FBI assistant director for public affairs Ben Williamson. The post in question has been deleted, but based on Patel's response, it seemed clearly to be a post criticizing him or the Bureau. Patel wanted Williamson to engage.
