.......................

“They can beat their drums, and stand next to toxic waste all they want, but that doesn’t make it toxic waste,” Patel said. “And Maria, I’m happy to announce on your show that we’re not going to take this laying down. You want to attack my character? Come at me! Bring it on! I’ll see you in court!”

“So you’re going to sue them?” Bartiromo said.

“Absolutely, it’s coming tomorrow,” Patel replied.

“Tomorrow, you will be dropping a lawsuit against The Atlantic magazine?” Bartiromo asked.


“Yes I will, for defamation,” Patel said. “Because you know what, Maria? We have to fight back against the fake news… I won’t tolerate their attacks on me because they are indirect attacks on the men and women of the FBI..............................

The flight records with with or to see his girlfriend alone will be embarrassing let alone his Vegas weekends. Remember, at the beginning he tried to telework from Vegas.

Dump is many things, but he doesn’t like alcoholics because of his brother. He views it as weak. Patel will be replaced with someone worse, and his honey pot will ditch him when she’s not getting all of the perks anymore. She probably has info to sell or give to foreign parties.

I think his brother was weak in his mind, so others with that same disease will be viewed as weak.

Apparently he has used his law license to file defamation lawsuits against major media outlets such as NY Times, Politico, and CNN. Don't know whether he has actually won any of them.

You Kash - only you. You are the one who is MIA in mind and body as head of the FBI. You are the one accused of being passed out drunk and absent from your duties. Didn't hear any one accuse anybody else of that - just you. Don't try to make yourself stronger by trying to claim all of the FBI should be behind you and offended by this. Most of them hate you. So sue away oh and - fuck you, you incompetent twit.
