  1. Because it is meritless. Also, it really shows how Patel’s freaking out right now.

    Smashed Patel’s last ditch effort to keep his no-show job that includes free vacation travel perks and Secret Service security for his girlfriend.

    Well, just because The Atlantic says it, doesn’t make it false. Just sayin’…

  4. It’s not about merit it’s about harassment. This administration has made it clear that they will fling shit at reporting they don’t approve of, so editors are forced to weigh the cost and effort of dealing with it before they print certain stories.

    See actually suing was a big mistake. Now his behavior is open to discovery. His public actions are enough to prove this as meritless, they can easily counter sue and keep this open for discovery on what he has cost the American people. I smell many new articles based on this lawsuit.

    Whenever you see a news story claiming that a suit is worth X millions of dollars, that number is generally not rooted in anything factual. Seeking damages of a specified amount is of no legal significance. It’s designed solely to grab headlines.

  7. Since we taxpayers pay for these “lawsuits”, shouldn’t we see all the discovery documents and have public trials?

    He’s using the Trump gameplan. Claim you were wronged. Threaten to sue. Find a lawyer without scruples to file. Drag it out until people forget. Lawsuit is dropped or dismissed. Claim victory.

    250 million? Those are rookie numbers. Real men get so broken and devastated and terrified and shook to the core by media reports on them that they start at ten billion.

    Fashyap Patel is in too deep for any sort of redemption arc. This should be fun to watch play out.

    I wonder what the prediction markets have the odds of this suit being dropped prior to discovery at?

    It’s very, very hard to believe that a highly regarded magazine like the *Atlantic*, that’s been around since before the civil fucking war, would publish a story like this unless all the research, sources, and evidence were airtight and rock solid.

    The Atlantic not ending this story with “See you in Valhalla” was a missed opportunity.

  14. TheHomieAbides on

    Pretty much all heavy drinkers think what they do is normal… so I think he’s going to go through with the lawsuit.

  15. Since they’re the ones getting sued it would highly unusual and counterproductive if they said it did have merit.

    THAT would be worth a story.

  16. It’s almost as if he’s trying to distract from his problematic behavior and lack of competency by launching frivolous lawsuits, making extraordinary claims, and attacking anyone who is critical of him… wonder who he learned that behavior from 🍊

  17. LOL!!!! I can’t wait till someone explains to him how he has opened himself up to discovery.

    I’m guessing he will drop the suit as soon as they demand his testimony and documentation

  18. Chemical-Fault-7331 on

    My account on polymarket hasn’t gotten approved yet, but is there a bet on if Patel folds and withdraws his lawsuit at the last minute? I’m willing to put some money on it.

  19. …he’s totally expecting Trump to exert authority to intimidate the Atlantic

    The part that worries me is… Trump might just do that in order to buy out/change that media outlet to be another propaganda machine

  20. The paper could set up a go fund me for the law suit $, A La Michael Wolf, and we would all send money. Sign my up for the lolz in discovery.
