Patel says he'll sue Atlantic for defamation over report on heavy drinking

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

FBI Director Kash Patel said Sunday that he will sue The Atlantic for defamation after the magazine published a Friday story detailing his alleged drinking habits and absences from the bureau.

“Absolutely. It’s coming tomorrow,” he told host Maria Bartiromo on Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures” about the forthcoming lawsuit.

The FBI director later said he would sue for defamation and vowed to “fight back against the fake news.”

The magazine published a story on Friday titled “The FBI Director Is MIA,” citing conversations with more than two dozen people, including current and former FBI officials, members of Congress, hospitality industry workers and others.

1. Won't there be discovery? Sounds like there are lots of witnesses to his debauchery. Bring it dumb ass...

[Midnight Writer]

7. Discovery is to pressure The Atlantic to bring forth witnesses, who Ka$h can then harass, fire, or arrest.

I bet he files his lawsuit in Florida.

2. Good luck with that...

Fucking clown.

3. How can he possibly prove damage when his life is already wrecked?

4. Expense account records and credit card bills will be epic evidence.

Cash, check, crypto ... could be revealing.

5. This should be fun to watch

6. ...and then, Patel was off to Bottomless Brunch.

8. Whiny little bullies love to make big threats they can't back up

Actual litigants tend to actually file a suit rather than make a big show of intending to

[Cha]

9. I read the Atlantic has Good Lawyers..

so Bring it, Nasty little *****

10. yeah yeah

11. Have him blow a breathalyzer during his depo.

That cornhole is going down.
