On Friday, The Atlantic published a story alleging that FBI Director Kash Patel has “alarmed colleagues with episodes of excessive drinking and unexplained absences.”
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.
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?
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.
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
‘ a troubled man with a troubled mind…standing on gallows with my head in a noose…any minute now expecting all hell to break loose….’ & Since these wackos are so it to religion may they all:
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.
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.

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

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

Man-child. Seems a theme with the MAGA podcast crowd
I think Patel needs a new nickname: “Krash Patel.”
Krash and Burn.
Anyone in this Administration denying the facts of a story or, even better, filing a lawsuit is basically corroborating the accuracy of the story.
"Oh, what tangled web we weave," when we get sh**t-faced in public places.
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.

Judd, Great legal brief! Really!
Maybe it’s time for a little Dylan
‘ a troubled man with a troubled mind…standing on gallows with my head in a noose…any minute now expecting all hell to break loose….’ & Since these wackos are so it to religion may they all:
‘ ya reap what ya sow ‘ amen.
It is always time for Dylan, a god who walks among us.

Kash Patel thinks the FBI stands for the Federal Bureau of Intoxication.
The incompetence, & corruption of Trump & Co is staggering.
Resist MAGA gangster, grifter authoritarianism! Vote Sane. #VoteBlue!
thanks for this clear explanation
Nailed it. Again.

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