Why? Seriously, why? He's a joke. He needs to go. Don't you give a crap about having a competent FBI?

He's not. And why would you hope he wins big? You know nothing about him or his behavior. Are you genuinely that brainwashed?

Do you think these idiots even know what the legal standard is for a defamation claim for a public figure?

Yep.
And I think The Atlantic has met that standard.

It's just so hard to tell if these type of posters are trolling, "own the lib" brainwashed, or just dumb. Could be all of the above I guess.

White House officials ‘openly discuss’ firing Kash Patel as FBI chief threatens to sue over report about ‘excessive drinking’
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/kash-patel-alcohol-fbi-mess-firing-the-atlantic-b2960378.html

White House officials are “openly discussing” who will be the next FBI director amid a bombshell report about current leader Kash Patel’s alleged excessive drinking and other concerning conduct.

Patel has threatened to sue The Atlantic after journalist Sarah Fitzpatrick’s report alleged the FBI director is deeply paranoid about being fired and often drinks to excess, alarming officials at the agency and beyond. Fitzpatrick responded that she stands “by every word of this reporting” and told MS NOW: “We have excellent attorneys.”

“People close to the director have said that he himself has expressed that he believes that he is about to be fired or that is imminent,” Fitzpatrick also told CNN Friday. “This is widely, widely discussed, I think, within Washington, behind closed doors. In fact, there are senior administration officials who are openly discussing who will be the next FBI director.”

The Atlantic report, published Friday evening, claimed that Patel is known to drink to the point of obvious intoxication at clubs in Washington, D.C. and his home city of Las Vegas, violating FBI conduct standards and potentially leaving the nation’s top law enforcement official vulnerable to coercion or exploitation.

The director’s drinking reportedly angered President Donald Trump, who is famously sober, and whose brother died from alcoholism-related health issues. Trump called Patel after the director was seen chugging beer with members of the victorious U.S. Olympic men’s hockey team to express his displeasure, according to the report.

Sources told The Atlantic that Patel’s alleged conduct at the helm of the FBI has alarmed officials about what would happen if the bureau was needed in a national crisis, such as a terror attack.

“That’s what keeps me up at night,” an unnamed official said.

Other claims in the report portray Patel in an unflattering light. On April 10, according to the magazine, the director flew into a paranoid “freak-out”over a technical issue with a computer system. The report claimed Patel thought it was a sign he was being fired and began calling aides and allies in a panic.

Word of the alleged meltdown reportedly spread quickly through Washington, D.C. and the White House received calls about who was really leading the FBI, according to The Atlantic.

haha I doubt that very much

I love that MAGA acts like this is some kind of checkmate The Atlantic wasn't prepared for. Really shows how completely delusional MAGA is.

He won't on either.

Keep that cope coming. The Atlantic's lawyers will destroy him.

Me either. It’ll be tough for The Atlantic to defend themselves without revealing sources.

Not as tough as it will be for the FBI to prove that their leader isn't a hard-drinking fool.

Do just make up lies that they will pretend to believe.

Yep. Can’t wait until the Atlantic has to reveal their sources in discovery.

I wonder if it's him trying to numb his brain from what he saw in the files/videos. He knows he's helping evil.

He suffers from paralyzing anxiety and a deep desire to show off like Noem. Take both together, and even though he's not an unintelligent man, or an incompetent one, he is now functionally unintelligent and incompetent and cannot lead the FBI. He's overwhelmed and needs to go.

Agree. This was evident with his ridiculous showboating and desperation to fit in with the USA hockey team. But the human brain can also only handle so much trauma.....the files could definitely push someone one to self medicate

He was ever competent? At what?

I mean that he's probably of slightly above average intelligence, and generally competent. Could he have been an effective FBI director even under a more normal President? I don't think so. But a top level manager at a less intense organization, certainly. The theme of this administration is OVERREACH, and not just for Patel.

Top level manager? He never had a leadership position before he was brought in as a Jan 6 loyalist.

To be fair, a “less intense organization” includes things like hot dogs carts and MLM.

Yeah sure reviewing first hand accounts of the worst child abuse in the Epstein Files is just like selling skin care. Totally the same level of intensity.

and God knows, Patel, really stepped up on this front. The Epstein Files is "fake news" and "nothing burger," right MAGA?

MAGAs don’t use logic or good sense. What I wrote is clearly logical and sensible. Saying that the FBI is not an intense organization is factually incorrect. Dont you think that truth needs to be championed rather than bending towards whatever political point you are trying to make? I sure do and I know that MAGAs do not.
