And you're obsessed with TRUMP!. This isn't even about him, yet here you are, still vainly attempting to make it about him.

I am obsessed with the fools in Magaitry, like you. We will not let you and him lead us over the cliff. That will not happen.

Go ahead and be obsessed. Just know that pathetically trying to make everything about Orange Man Bad does you no good.

Orange Man is upside down 1:2, and the Dems have won the gerrymander war and the SAVE Act will not pass.

Yep, all is good, all is right in Zion.

Libel and slander should be felonies.

The smear attempt makes much more sense now, knowing Patel was about to drop a HUGE indictment on the left's pet racists at the SPLC.

Now get back on topic. And here's a hint, it's not Orange Man Bad. Tell us, is he in the room with you right now?

Turns out Patel's FBI investigated to see if they could prosecute the reporter who wrote the stories about his girlfriend.

The bureau said it is not pursuing a case, but the scrutiny is an example of the Trump administration weighing whether to criminalize routine news gathering.

Most of Maga writers here would be indicted if libel and slander were felonies.

Nope, he is with you.

As always, you project your faults on others.

Seriously, which regular are you a sock for?

Sure, I don't. I am no sock. No regular here needs a sock to handle your kind.

Of course you are. You're a new account for a banned member.

April 20 (Reuters) - FBI Director Kash Patel filed a defamation lawsuit against the Atlantic and its reporter Sarah Fitzpatrick following the publication of an article on Friday alleging the director had a drinking problem that could pose a threat to national security.

The magazine's story, initially titled “Kash Patel's Erratic Behavior Could Cost Him His Job," cited more than two dozen anonymous sources expressing concern about Patel’s “conspicuous inebriation and unexplained absences” that “alarmed officials at the FBI and the Department of Justice.”

The article, which the Atlantic subsequently titled “The FBI Director Is MIA” in its online version, reported that during Patel’s tenure, the FBI had to reschedule early meetings “as a result of his alcohol-fueled nights” and that Patel “is often away or unreachable, delaying time-sensitive decisions needed to advance investigations.”

Good.....Act professionally or get sued till you do.....I can't think of a rag more deserving than The Atlantic.

was getting sued and defeating Patel and his frivolous lawsuit wasn't part of your calculation huh

All the Dems have are "He said she said."

You masturbate over he said she said crap against Democrats all the time. Hypocrite

 

[Polishprince]

I am sure those questions will be asked and answered during the dispositions in Patel's lawsuit against the liberal libelers. House Democrats can certainly wait until then

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Of course all of the allegations reported are true.

And the emails and internal records requested under FOIA will show that.

Dead man walkin'

These publications wouldn’t be publishing if they weren’t sure of their facts. Their work is reviewed by LAWYERS before they go to press.

I worked for lawyers who did this kind of work. They also had to give clearances on fictional characters which were so close to real people that everybody knew who it was based on. William Randolph Hurst blocked the release of Citizen Kane because everyone knew it was about him.

As long as he is impacting the lives of everyone in the world with his stupidity and his ego, we’re going to talk about him.

If we stopped, he’d do something even crazier than his stupid war. He’s so vain, he thinks Rob Reiner’s murder was about him.
