Dude thinks by pretending to be Trump he will be able to escape consequences. Trump will fire him this week and someone worse will take his place

Discovery is where this gets fun. File a $250M lawsuit and suddenly you’re handing over emails, texts, calendars, maybe even bar tabs if they ask for it. Meanwhile The Atlantic gets to show how they sourced it. These cases drag forever because everyone fights over what has to be produced. Feels like a lot of theater…we’ll see how enthusiastic Kash is once “prove it under oath” becomes part of the schedule.

And of course he has to sue for $250 million because of the 250th anniversary of the US.

I’m not drunk. I’m emotional. My famous words before he hit the floor. 😂

His picked the same lawyer as the self proclaimed black nazi, Mark Robinson. Promising!

Kash Patel was later overhead shouting ‘It’s five o’clock *Somewhere*!’

I mean, we ALL saw him pounding beers with the hockey team. That didn’t look like a one off time.

Suing a major publication for 250 million dollars because they called you a drunk is definitely the most rational, sober reaction possible tbh. textbook streisand effect right here.

he is a public figure so he has to prove “actual malice” in court, which is basically impossible when the atlantic literally cited like two dozen separate sources for the story ngl. this entire lawsuit is just performative outrage to intimidate journalists and play the victim.

A public trial with lots of video evidence of kash partying like it’s 1999? I would rather watch paint dry.

“We’re not a news source, but an entertainment source”.
That should be everyone’s defense at this point. If it worked for foxnews, that has literally the word “news” in it, then I can’t see the issue.

This is a SLAPP lawsuit, no doubt. He’s jsut trying to generate this exact news headline – Patel will drop the before it ever gets to discovery.

We all saw the locker room video of him partying. Who is he kidding.

The Atlantic need to to immediately file a countersuit so he doesn’t get to quietly close this before discovery starts.

You can’t SLAPP suit a massive media organization with the funds to fight back. Especially when the allegations are true, and truth is an ultimate defense against defamation claims.

Lets get some depositions with the guys from the US Men’s hockey team. So, exactly how many beers do you witness Kash Patel chug in the locker room?

we all saw you in the locker room of the men hockey team. which was very very weird. Something someone looking to score booze and party might do.
discovery is gonna be interesting

That’s a LOT of vodka and 8 balls. Get em’ Kash money G man. If this administration put as much time into actually doing their job as opposed to defending/ suing people. We might still have some semblance of a country.. nah!!

OMG he’s gonna buy so much booze with that money

But we literally have Kash Patel drinking on the job. When Kash Patel went overseas to work the Olympics he is in a “continuous duty status”. When he was celebrating and drinking with the hockey team, he was on the job.
The personal anecdotes that The Atlantic published could be false or sensationalized reports, however we literally do have wide spread first account video of Kash Patel drinking on the job and one could easily assume the dude is drinking on the job.

I’m not a lawyer, but I thought one of the fundamental truths that makes defamation suits so difficult to adjudicate in the US is that you must prove intent to defame. It’s not enough that the defendant’s claim is incorrect, you must show that the intent was to damage the complainant’s reputation with false information.

Seems like the Atlantic would have their sources of information in order to verify these claims. However, it’s possible the goal of this lawsuit is to find the informants to the journalist and fire them

Good luck suing a magazine that us supported by one of the wealthiest persons in the world about a rock solid piece of journalism written by a multi-award winning journalist who always guarantees her sources.

Has he tried not being a total alcoholic dipshit? Maybe if he wasn’t getting wasted on our dime and protecting child rapists like Donald Trump maybe the Atlantic wouldn’t have written this piece.

Does Kash know about discovery? Its the one thing donald runs from….

Sounds like something a drunk would do.
