FBI director Kash Patel has sued The Atlantic and reporter Sarah Fitzpatrick over a story that alleged Patel has “alarmed colleagues with episodes of excessive drinking and unexplained absences.”

The defamation suit, filed Monday morning in US District Court in the District of Columbia, seeks $250 million in damages.

The Atlantic called the suit “meritless.”

“We stand by our reporting on Kash Patel, and we will vigorously defend The Atlantic and our journalists against this meritless lawsuit,” a spokesperson told CNN.

Yes, it’s so obvious by now that even the Maga morons might be able to understand it.

And yet this is nothing new: The U.S. has been an oligarchy for at least thirty years or more, as evidenced, for example, by the fact that many, many people in the richest country in the world live as if they were citizens of one of the poorest Third World countries.
