White House officials ‘openly discuss’ firing Kash Patel as FBI chief threatens to sue over report about ‘excessive drinking’

Now do Hegseth.

You could see this coming in their roll out of the info on him.

• First they talk about non-provable shit that he's a drinker, or fired the pilot for the coast guard because of a blanket, etc.
• We are here: Then they start about maybe, possibly, firing them. It's in the air.
• Person is fired and left taking the blame for everything.

It's fun when my government decides which administration officials to shitcan via press leak vibe check.

Side note, I watched Predator Badlands last night and every time there was a face shot of the predator it made me think of Kash.

Did anyone else see that shit during the winter Olympics where he was partying with team USA? This doesn't surprise me at all

How about the Epstein files?

I would like Patel to stay where he is, until Iran has simultaneously cut off all the heads of the Dogey hydra. Best to keep the defenses of this failson "America" weakened until the monsters end up in cardboard caskets. The Orange One, the Kegged One, the Unhealthy One, The Over 50,000 One, The Saruman One, The White African One, The Uncle Thomas One, The Couched One, all of the other Ones.

We have so fucking many examples of awful. 😒

I hope he does, and then when people start taking depositions, then people will be testifying under oath about how much he actually drinks.

Is it just booze, or can we start calling him Kush Patel yet?

Fire his unqualified ass.

Patel has vowed to sue The Atlantic and Fitzpatrick, suggesting in a social media post that the article met the high legal bar to qualify as defamation.

I doubt that. Patel is a public figure. The US has a high bar for defamation to start with, and it gets harder for public figures.

New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, 376 U.S. 254 (1964), is a landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision that ruled the freedom of speech protections in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution limit the ability of public officials to sue for defamation.[1][2] The decision held that if a plaintiff in a defamation lawsuit is a public official or candidate for public office, then not only must they prove the normal elements of defamation—publication of a false defamatory statement to a third party—they must also prove that the statement was made with "actual malice", meaning the defendant either knew the statement was false or recklessly disregarded whether it might be false.[2] New York Times Co. v. Sullivan is frequently ranked as one of the greatest Supreme Court decisions of the modern era.

I'm surprised this isn't a more prevalent issue in this administration. That's the only way to do their job if they aren't full on MAGA.

The Trump Regime's lawsuits against journalists have this far been bigly faceplants, YUGE on the order of the Melonballia movie.

That said, when he cements his power later this year, I fear for any media figure who dared to oppose him.

Fucking banchode makes Hoover look mild in comparison.

We saw him pounding beers when he was partying with hockey players in Milan. I mean, maybe that's kind of normal behavior for a late teenager or someone in their early 20s. Kash Patel is 46 and heading up the FBI.

Sorry, I think most people expect someone in that job to be a little more of an adult?

What the fuck was he even doing there in the first place?

Shit can both drunks.

Ooh, the liquor cabinet has gone and made the orange shitgibbon look bad... Now you're gonna have to suck harder or get the boot.
