He should do it, not just whine about it.
Discovery always calls their bluff.
I mean, we all watched that Olympic video of him drinking excessivly
Does he get to sue for $10 billion? Or only Trump gets to sue for that much?
Trying to figure out what the new laws are here.
Sounds like he was drunk
But yet he hasn’t lol
“Bring your checkbook” the Director of the FBI thinks you need your checkbook at a defamation hearing. Or any hearing for that matter.
Let that sink in.
If your coworkers have to decide whether they need to use „breaching equipment“ (i.e., a battering ram) to get you out of a locked room because of your drinking, then it’s way past time for an intervention.
Sue away.
Define excessive drinking. Because Kash can do even more than he currently is, it’s just a normal drinking amount currently.
smoke/fire
Only qualification for the job was he wouldn’t investigate Trump. Hopefully the article is right and his days are numbered. One of the worst things about maga are the total clowns put into the most sensitive positions in government.
Discovery is a bitch my man. Good luck with that.
Imagine the discovery hearing, and you know this lawsuit will never, ever reach an open court hearing. Ever.
This confirms story !
Driving more subs to the Atlantic. Good move Kash.
I’m so tired of being ruled by absolute losers.
I can’t wait for the deposition !
He then ended his rant with:
*hiccup*
I’m sure the Atlantic is terrified of the truth being proven in court.
Kash Patel only drinks the right amount. What might be excessive for virtually anyone else is just a Tuesday for Patel.

Go for it Kash, the world would love to watch that jury trial.
Sue or shut the fuck up, Ka$h.
Threatening to sue and actually suing are two very different things. If he actually felt like the story was false, he’d sue and not just threaten it.
When kash wakes up and sees how this news broke 19 hours ago, he’s going to feel extra hung over

Meanwhile… not one headline dedicated to how national security is at risk… Republicans really don’t seem to care if our adversaries are a threat or not.
This genius thinks that he’s somehow going to Valhalla, so I guess from that perspective he’s practically an ascetic monk.
He won’t, because of one word. DISCOVERY
Hey Kash, lawsuit means discovery, testifying under oath. Are you ready for that?
Good luck with that malice standard big dog.
If he says it’s categorically false then you know it’s categorically true.
Do it man. Discovery will be a treat.
Threatening to sue implies it’s true, otherwise they’d just sue.
Truth is an absolute defense.
Kash was mad as hell when he came to and heard what they were saying about him.
We’ve seen it on video. Guy flew to the olympics to chug beer
Discovery’s going to be fun!
Side note: Sarah Fitzpatrick (the author) also teaches investigative journalism at Colombia. These kind of journalists don’t usually publish news of this magnitude without very solid sources.
Thing he learned from his boss. Threaten to sue, but never actually do it because of a little thing called discovery…
Yeah go sue the Atlantic. Should be fun, dipshit
Looking forward to discovery. Crossed eye scum bag
Wasn’t he on film showering himself with beer in a locker room recently?
„Compared to Hegseth, my drinking is totally in moderation!“
Everyday there is another new embarrassment from this administration.
Whenever they use the word “categorically”, it always means they’re lying.
