Kash Patel has filed a lawsuit over a profile piece. But, by suing, the FBI director only brings more light to allegations about his behaviors and risks future embarrassment
FBI Director Kash Patel’s $250 million defamation lawsuit against The Atlantic did little to dampen the disturbing allegations in what he calls its “hit piece” against him — and instead sparked a firestorm of broadsides from his critics.
Patel’s federal court filing - which included a plethora of typos - summarized the report’s nearly 2,200 words of somewhat dense prose into a concise list of 17 easy-to-read sentences about the damning information provided by more than two dozen anonymous sources, some of them current and former FBI officials or staffers at law-enforcement and intelligence agencies.
The allegations cited include that Patel “is known to drink to the point of obvious intoxication, in many cases at the private club Ned’s in Washington, D.C., while in the presence of White House and other administration staff,” that he’s “also known to drink to excess at the Poodle Room in Las Vegas, where he frequently spends parts of his weekends” and that “members of his security detail had difficulty waking Patel because he was seemingly intoxicated” multiple times over the past year.
I don’t think Trump is capable of real management of any kind. I believe his reigns are, “did they word fuck my godhood”, and “did the news I watched seem credibly embarrassing enough that I wish to deny they ever word fucked me”. With the added corrupting caveat of, “how many word fuck whores are currently ready to slut into the position”.
If I told you the country was run by Fox, I don’t think it could be disproved. How else do you reconcile recruiting their news anchors. He is the holotype of why the nepotism of gross inherited wealth is a terminal cancer. Pass on as many upper middle class trust funds for life as you would like, but no other wealth is transferrable in any way. Foreign held funds by the deceased are a crime of sedition, and forfeiture of citizenship. That does not cause collapse, filters every problem name you know now if it had existed, and will eventually fix the real problem. Japan already has this in place. Intelligence is not hereditary in humans, but wealth is. This is the succession crisis of monarchy, at a new stage where the elite of the Royal court have the same power and influence as the age of monarchies, and we have the same problem again. •»ÀīÙ¬§¬¶¬×
The country IS run by Fox. Most of Trump’s talking points are things he heard on Fox the night before.
