>“My response is that I stand by every single word of this report,” she said. “We were very diligent. We were very careful. It went through multiple levels of editing, review, care.
>“And I think one of the things that has been most gratifying, after – immediately after the story published was, I have been inundated by additional sourcing going up to the highest levels of the government, thanking us for doing the work, providing additional corroborating information.”
How many times can you FO after FA? Asking for a friend.
Imagine what would have happened if Mr. J. Edgar Boozer had just ignored the article and accusations. In these modern times of cycling through news headlines at such breakneck speeds, everyone would have already moved on from this. But now it’s popcorn time to eat while watching how this frivolous lawsuit plays out.
this may be the apex of the streisand effect
Everybody has seen him drunk. Kash is a lush.
Got my popcorn out for the Discovery phase
Kash does not strike me as a smart man.
Any Team USA sources?
This will never make it to discovery and will be dropped.
I think AOC was right. If this was a woman, Trump would have fired them.
Kash thinks he can pull a Donald Trump with this BS lawsuit. Trump has enough money to throw away and ultimately doesn’t even pay most of his lawyers himself. Kash, despite his name, does not have those resources.
Does anyone know if she’s scheduled to be on tonight’s Washington Week with The Atlantic?
After reading one of the first stories about this, which offhandedly mentioned an extremely high priced ~~bar~~ club* – a point that should have been the focus of the article in my opinion – I then discovered a handful of articles where the aforementioned club (“Ned’s”) *is* the focus. [I have a thread about these public-servant-party-animals over on the not-dead-bird website.](https://bsky.app/profile/relevantusername.bsky.social/post/3mjt4lruizs2r) My commentary is minimal and mostly superfluous however the articles, which seem to have been weirdly overlooked, should be widely if not unanimously known, considering these people are our employees.
^(* the distinction between “bar” and “club” here matters because rather than using the word “club” as in the sense of “going out clubbing”, what I mean is “club” as in the sense of an organization which files as a 501c non-profit and therefore does not pay taxes because it is owned by Michael “stock fraud” Milken)
^(** total accuracy of the previous footnote is neither implied nor denied)
The Ka$h Patel Effect.
That pesky truth being an absolute defense against defamation huh
I think people getting blackout drunk should now be labeled as “getting Kashed”
I think what is most surprising is just how little these people understand about how the world actually works. They seem to embody the “Fake it till you make it” without actually learning anything along the way so they are eternally faking it.
Probably Kash himself sending a drunk message
It goes without saying… this will be dropped before it gets to discovery, Trump will claim he “doesn’t even know the guy” and another stooge will be brought up
What I want to know is, all these FBI sources, who did they vote for? And have they learned enough now to not make that mistake again?
These guys are so dumb every move they make make things worse for themselves.
It’s the quicksand admistration
And I bet some are phony/kash associates trying to get cozy get details and derail the process.
Chickens roosting
Kash Patel, meet Barbara Streisand.
Kash Patel demonstrating why defamation lawsuits are almost always an extremely stupid idea better than any of my law professors ever could.
The strongest defense is truth. The character of the plaintiff is the central issue. You can use pretty much all of the otherwise-inadmissible character evidence that you can get, like rumors and general reputation, to prove that you were telling the truth.
Ms. Fitzpatrick’s lawyer is a lucky guy, this is career capstone material. I hope they have some fun with it.
I mean, c’mon, look at the guy.
