Some of the very allegations Kash Patel has slammed as “hit piece lies” in a bombshell report are now being undercut by his own $250 million defamation lawsuit.
The FBI director, 45, has been scrambling to counter reporting from The Atlantic, which cited more than two dozen anonymous sources describing a drinking problem so severe it could “threaten national security,” as well as erratic, paranoid behavior.
But the lawsuit, filed Monday, appears to confirm a key detail from Atlantic reporter Sarah Fitzpatrick’s story.
Kash Patel is probably getting fired soon. And his lawsuit will go absolutely nowhere. For one, the Atlantic wasn’t lying and he knows it and they know it and everyone knows it.
Also, Daily Beast headline writers, I think Kooky Kash would be a better addendum to his name than Keystone. It would make more sense, at least. Or Plastered Patel.

His lawsuit says mostly untrue, what idiot lawyer would imbed doubt

To be fair, I can kinda understand the drinking. If I were as unqualified as he is for his position (no law enforcement experience, let alone FBI experience), I’d probably gravitate towards drinking my stress away too. Especially if I held grand conspiracy theories about the “deep state”, and it took being appointed director of the entire FBI to fully understand how big a fool I made of myself.

If they sold tickets to this, we could pay off the national debt with the proceeds.

What an embarrassment. Trump puts idiots like this in place so they occasionally look more stupid than him. But next week he’ll probably say he’s God himself and magat Christians and Catholics will trip over themselves to grovel more.

Watch The Atlantic’s lawyers point out that KP lied under oath about how Epstein didn’t traffic girls to anyone except himself.

It’s funny how conservatives never criticize Trump for hiring these clowns but will praise him for firing them

Pentagon Pete, Keystone Kash. Do these newspapers not know how to give schoolyard nicknames?
Look, I’ll get you one: Blackout Kash.

The one thing I just cannot wrap my head around is how Trump selected his cabinet/administration. I know the whole joking how he prefers to hangout with losers thing, but this is business, where hiring losers is very different from hanging out with losers to make himself look better. People like Kash actually reflect on him, they are an extension of him.
Surely Trump must be even a small bit embarrassed, everyday his people are involved in some scandal or foolishness. I’m certain Putin and Netanyahu must laugh their behinds off at some of these people, and Trump seems to care what those two think of him. How did Trump not pick better people even just for vanity’s sake?
Edited for paragraphs.

Kinda sums it up.
“On multiple occasions in the past year, members of his security detail had difficulty waking Patel because he was seemingly intoxicated, according to information supplied to Justice Department and White House officials. A request for “breaching equipment”—normally used by SWAT and hostage-rescue teams to quickly gain entry into buildings—was made last year because Patel had been unreachable behind locked doors, according to multiple people familiar with the request.”

It’s funny that the guy who publicly took government transportation to Italy on a Sunday evening to chug beer with the hockey team is denying that he drinks a lot on the job

He knows he’s getting fired so he is using this as cover that he can peddle on Fox
News and other silly podcasts so his followers think he tried but got screwed over by “the system”.
Him
And bongino deserve to go down in the intelligence community as the most useless idiots to ever step foot in White House.
To be the 2 people in charge of the fbi during the biggest case of child sex scandals and to come up with zero arrests is hof performance . In fact the only thing they did was make justice go back a step since they were in charge of letting gislaine Maxwell go to a white collar prison (against literal prison code) and be able to play with puppies all day.
These two need to be forever known as the biggest threats to the safety of young women in our history. Along with Donald of course

He’s bitter cause his girlfriend will dump him. He’ll be jobless with hundreds of well connected lifelong cops, that hate his guts for destroying their careers, messing up his chances for a kush cop gig somewhere. He won’t be able to live on a military base, or use the cool jet plane to get beers and take-out anymore. He will have to get an apartment like a regular schmook. It’s hard finding jobs you’re not qualified for.
