Sarah Fitzpatrick, the reporter behind the bombshell exposé about Kash Patel’s alleged conduct, said she stands by her story after he threatened to sue

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.”

    I would like Patel to stay where he is, until Iran has simultaneously cut off all the heads of the Dogey hydra. Best to keep the defenses of this failson “America” weakened until the monsters end up in cardboard caskets. The Orange One, the Kegged One, the Unhealthy One, The Over 50,000 One, The Saruman One, The White African One, The Uncle Thomas One, The Couched One, all of the other Ones.

    We have so fucking many examples of awful. 😒

        I am hoping to someday play videogames where confronting such evils is part of the gameplay loop. “President Evil”, where you explore a white house and eventually descend into the basement of a destroyed wing, after solving puzzles that utterly befuddled the evil things sealed below.
