The brief tenure of Kash Patel as Donald Trump’s FBI Director has failed to produce much of anything to brag about. He has humiliated himself and the Bureau with his inappropriate antics in office. Such as his drunken partying<\/a><\/strong> with members of the U.S. Olympic Hockey team. Or flying on government jets to see his girlfriend<\/a><\/strong>, a country-western singer, in concert.<\/p>\n

Now Patel is taking on one of Trump’s most recognizable flaws. Throughout his career in both business and politics, Trump has demonstrated his affinity for lawsuits. He has made himself the most litigious president in the history of the United States. Although his legal misadventures usually don’t work out very well for him.<\/p>\n

On Sunday morning’s episode of Maria Bartiromo’s program on Fox News, She invited Patel to come on to respond to some recent accusations of dangerously inappropriate behavior as reported in an extraordinarily well-sourced article in “The Atlantic.”<\/em><\/a><\/strong> Bartiromo began by asking Patel about the article. Which led to the following exchange…<\/p>\n

Patel:<\/strong> Maria, I am happy to announce on your show that we are 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.
\nBartiromo:<\/strong> So you’re gonna sue them?
\nPatel:<\/strong> Absolutely. It’s coming tomorrow
\nBartiromo:<\/strong> Tomorrow you will be dropping a lawsuit against The Atlantic?
\nPatel:<\/strong> Yes I will. For defamation. And for – you know what Maria? – We have to fight back against the fake news…If the fake news Mafia wants to ring their drum beat as loud as they can, they’re never gonna stop me.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
