(From the article): “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.
“If the goal of Kash Patel’s lawsuit was to get me to read (author Sarah Fitzpatrick’s) story about him, mission accomplished,” Minneapolis talk radio host Jason DeRusha wrote on X.”

Not only is everyone in Trump’s inner circle laughably incompetent, they are stone cold fucking losers too.

The stupid DUI higher should get booted just like his court case will.

I wouldn’t get to cozy thinking Trump is going to fire this guy. The other people Trump has fired aren’t shielding him from the files and were causing ineptitude in regards to tackling brown people. He wants this guy drunker that a skunk. The court Jester (Patel) cant run the FBI efficiently files never come out.

He gave a press conference on DOJs hit job on the SPLC today and got asked about getting locked out of his account and freaking out. He claimed it never happened. The reporter brought up the fact his lawsuit admits the lockout happened.
He didn’t answer, but the fact he is already contradicting his own lawsuit complaint is not a good sign

“The case could haunt him for months”?
This case is just temporary cover for Patel. He wants to taint the media with his weak defense before he is fired by Trump. Patel doesn’t have “months”. More like days or a few weeks at most!
This Republican administration must be the worst in America history. Full of corruption, ineptness, immorality and criminality. They can’t govern. They only attack, destroy, divide, cheat, hate, lie and stumble!

And Republicans made a big deal out of Benghazi.

Given that he’s a severe alcoholic a probable white powder fiend, he’s going to have a hard time staying sober for the foreseeable future.

Will it? He’s probably already drinking it off.

The funniest part was this pudknocker thought he could go head-to-head with the press, before he spilled his spaghetti all over the place.

Blah blah blah what about his part in the cover-up over The Epstein Files?

I feel like the suit has two goals: quick settlement and force the defendant to out their anonymous sources.

Someone think of his poor (not in the wealth sense — yet; that part will come soon) lawyers.

Discovery. Let’s do it. He’s not as powerful as he thinks, unlike Trump that can just outlast it. Dudes toast

Trumps brother died from alcoholism. Trump doesn’t drink because of this. But he hires some of the biggest drunks that exist. WTF?

MAGA: Well, I get black-out drunk all the time too! I could never relate to those professionals who used to be in charge. They were losers! It’s so cool that if I saw Ka$h out in Vegas, that I could have a beer with him!
Bro about to get dragged. All that will remain will be his soft hands.

This administration is so corrupt that for a second I wasn’t sure if it was the $250 million lawsuit, or if Kash Patel used $250 million of the FBI budget to buy a new set of suits to spruce up his wardrobe.

These folks are obsessed with putting the Streisand effect into motion. If would of ignored it, everyone would have forgotten after a week due to the endless shit were being flooded with. Their egos won’t let it happen though; they can’t help themselves, gotta look tough for Boss.
