Kash is just following the Trump model of suing the media when his dirty laundry is aired. Wonder what Kalshi odds currently are on when Trump shows him the door.

The fact that so many sources for that Atlantic article were apparently FBI employees gives a good idea on just how detested he is within the Bureau.

Within or without, he is an unlikable person and was probably horribly picked on as a boy.

Not that this absolves him of his conduct in any way, but I sympathize with Kash Patel. Trying to survive this administration sober feels like a tall ask.

You have to figure that being a brown man in a nazi organization would cause anyone a few sleepless nights. Add to that being in over your head with a job that you cannot perform well or even understand?

You’re right, but then again, his choice.

When will people understand that these are immature characters? You see it so much with men in this administration, where they never got beyond the level of a college frat boy. This is what happens when those types (and there are plenty in everyday life) are handed responsibility. They can’t handle it.

Man-child. Seems a theme with the MAGA podcast crowd

I think Patel needs a new nickname: “Krash Patel.”

Anyone in this Administration denying the facts of a story or, even better, filing a lawsuit is basically corroborating the accuracy of the story.

The Trump playbook. There is No adult responsibility or accountability just grievance and excuses.

I’m awed by the folks that are still backing this shit.

Krash, I guess, is filing this suit to waste The Atlantic’s time and money as his chance of prevailing is low. His behavior is childish and reminds me of school yard banter between kids threatening to sue each other

Judd, Great legal brief! Really!

Maybe it’s time for a little Dylan

It is always time for Dylan, a god who walks among us.

If Trump can stuff $10 billion into his pockets then Patel should have no problem with an inside bribe from his own DOJ. I’ve mucked horse stalls as a teenager that smell better than this administration.

Kash Patel thinks the FBI stands for the Federal Bureau of Intoxication.

The incompetence, & corruption of Trump & Co is staggering.

One of the Liquor Cabinets finest. He's a chump trying to "kash" in but he's just not one of the cool kids who will make it out of the administration a newly minted billionaire like all the other crooks.

Excellent summary for the lay-person. Thank you PI!
