    I love how much he doesn’t realize discovery will be part of this process.

    Kiddo, you can’t throw SLAPP suits at journalists when you’re swimming in evidence you’re doing exactly what the jounalist said you’re doing.

      He knows all that. He was a lawyer. He also knows how the bullshit civil courts work in the US and how Americans think suing someone means you are validated.

        The later is not absolute evidence for the former. There are lawyers who are also morons. Well known example: Rudy Giuliani. I sincerely believe that Patel may not understand the hole he’s dug for himself.

        Also, you can just harass and paper-whip a journalist out of existence a lot easier when you’re the head of the FBI. Hell, worse comes to worst, call up your buddies in charge of the Pentagon or CIA, I’m sure they can find someone to just knock off the plaintiffs for cheap.

          That normally implies cordial relations between heads of departments. No one in the administration likes anyone else, they like themselves and sucking up to Trump to benefit themselves.

          Kash would need to get Trump to get someone else to cooperate and you can’t go running to the boss to clean up your mess when you’re supposed to be cleaning up his!

      He’s a bully, so he thinks that the threat of a lawsuit will make the problem go away. He hasn’t thought about what happens if it goes further than that.

      It seems like the modus operandi of anyone in the Trump circle and the misunderstanding of MAGA meaning Making Attorneys Get Attorneys

    He could’ve ignored the news and not sued anyone and it probably would’ve blown over in a few days. He’s streisanding himself and hopefully he gets counter sued for damages and then gets fired

    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.

    Trump confirmed snitching on Patel’s drunk ass

      *effect

      To affect (verb) is to alter something

      To effect (verb) is to cause to happen

      The effect (noun) is the result

      So one can affect the situation by effecting the effect.

      There is a player, I believe wearing a blue shirt (top left), who appeared unimpressed with the Keystone Cop and the way he guzzles down beer. What a complete waste of good beer that is going to be pissed out by a fucking clown.

    His misconduct is an asset to his bosses. This kind of administration doesn’t hire people who don’t already have a good reason to be fired. Yes-men have to be easy to fire and they have to know it. Otherwise they start thinking for themselves.

      Right? I can’t believe how easily we all get suckered into the latest shiny object. This is just another distraction to keep us looking the other way. Another example of flooding the zone. Meanwhile, on polymarket …
