I’m wondering if this will actually help cement this story. Wouldn’t the defense (the journalists) be able to obtain all kinds of new data through discovery procedures they wouldn’t have had access to otherwise?
Lol yes, but this administration is fucking stupid as fuck.
That’s my understanding. It’s presumably for this same reason Trump never sues over reporting on his involvement with Epstein or underage girls.
This sort of happened in Australia. A high profile military veteran was accused of war crimes based on whistleblower documents. He sued the news org and the reporters.
Witnesses were heard, documents scrutinized. The whole thing was thrown away. Appeals were dismissed. And a couple years later he was arrested for allegations of war crimes.
Yep and that’s when they drop the case. Kash and his team want the settlement before disco. Unless Atlantic is just funneling money into the admin. They should easily make Kash back down
There was 9, NINE corroborating witnesses to this story. It takes two to confirm a story, three makes for an iron clad confirmation. Nine is a fucking mutiny.
This is going to be hilarious to see play out.
Unless, of course it would turn out that the justice system is corrupt.
We don’t have a justice system, we have a legal system.
I stand corrected
Well fuck. This is not the realization I needed to ever read. ☠️
This is going to get shut down… right? My understanding is The Atlantic didn’t say Patel is an alcoholic, AWOL, and bad at his job. They just interviewed several people who reported that. And even if it was all false, the fact that multiple sources believe that about the FBI Director is concerning, and absolutely news.
He’s wildly overestimated how valuable his reputation is. Even if this bullshit claim is upheld, $2.50 seems more reasonable.
I’d file a motion for a Rule 35 evaluation. Have a doctor do an etg, peth and liver enzyme screen immediately.
Isn’t hubris great
