@BasedMikeLee So what’s preventing him from filing suit if the reporting is defamatory?

Kash Patel is a good man.
The Atlantic defamed him.
And should expect litigation.
Clint Brown@DissidentClint
Hey @S_Fitzpatrick I was Kash Patel’s Sherpa on the transition. I spent nearly all day everyday with him for 3+ months and have been with him frequently since. I have never seen the type of behavior that you’re describing from him. Your anon sourced story is BS. Oh and by the way, it was no pressure campaign that got Kash confirmed. He did his homework, studied every brief I wrote him (and I wrote them all personally). If I sent him material at say 2am, he would respond with questions by 3am. He was always available and never hard to reach. Ultimately, he addressed any concerns senators had. He studied the law enforcement issues in each of their states and came prepared with plans, ideas, and questions for addressing the unique law enforcement needs of each state. THAT is who Kash Patel is and it’s why the FBI has been so effective in the last year. I’ve never once seen him over drink. Not once. You are spinning that narrative because you know POTUS doesn’t view that favorably, even admitted as much in your story. And I’m not hard to find. Pretty obvious why you didn’t reach out to me for comment.

The Atlantic sent a reporter with anonymous sources to take down @FBIDirectorKash just got fact-checked by the man who personally briefed him for three months.
Anonymous sources don't beat eyewitnesses.
The fake news picked the wrong target.

@jbinnall @FBIDirectorKash Counsellor, your letter to The Atlantic isn’t admissible evidence.
English
This is the letter we sent to The Atlantic and Sarah Fitzpatrick BEFORE they published their hit piece on FBI Director @FBIDirectorKash. They were on notice that the claims were categorically false and defamatory. They published anyway.
See you in court.
English
@DECLASSITALL @Pontifex Ironic that you would cite that reference given the bombing of a girls’ school by the U.S. in the very first hours of President Trump’s latest attempt to distract from his Epstein coverup.
English
Shut up you liberal Cuck.
You know what else God doesn’t like?
Pedophile priests that you put protect raping little children.
I guess you didn’t read the New Testament when Jesus clearly said what’s gonna happen if you harm one of the little ones.
And guess what Jesus is gonna do to you and all you pedophiles when he comes back?
He’s going to lock your soul away for eternity.
That’s right shithead eternity.
I praise God.
I praise my savior Jesus Christ.
I praise no man, including some Roman papacy pope piece of shit.
You are a bought and paid for disgrace.
You are no more Christian than a gecko is.

God’s heart is torn apart by wars, violence, injustice and lies. But our Father’s heart is not with the wicked, the arrogant, or the proud. God’s heart is with the little ones and the humble, and with them He builds up His Kingdom of love and peace day by day. Wherever there is love and service, God is there. #ApostolicJourney #Algeria

@TammySueeB @YoshiStansan @jpeasy73 @mrddmia @0hour1 Blasphemy is the crime of assuming to oneself the rights or qualities of God. President Trump’s post could be used as the dictionary illustration.
English
Dear Catholic Bishops:
You’ve been more publicly outraged about Trump’s Truth posts than Iran-backed Islamists slaughtering Christians.
English
@TammySueeB @mrddmia @0hour1 Interesting images you’ve picked. Pope Francis, Servant of the Servants of God, wearing a stole imparting blessings and the image President Trump posted of himself looking like Jesus, who Christians believe is God Incarnate.
English
@mrddmia So Mike, you’re ok with President Trump being compared to Our Lord by his spiritual advisor during Holy Week and picturing himself looking like Jesus on Divine Mercy Sunday.
English
@ConstantPolaris I suggest you seek spiritual guidance to better form your conscience. Standing right with God is more important than standing with Trump. Just so you know - God is weak on crime and heavy on forgiveness.
English
I am a Catholic, but I must say that this Pope is moving funny to me.
There is a whole Christian genocide going on in Nigeria where he once lived.
But this man is more focused on the war in Iran and its politics.
Hello Sir, there is a war in Nigeria and Africa too, and Christians are victims.
He is the Pope of Christians first before anything else.
And the welfare of Christians especially those who are being persecuted should be his priority.
But Christians were massacred during Easter in Nigeria for their faith and I did not see any strong condemnation or reaction from the Pope.
Instead the Pope is consistently focused on the middle East and Donald Trump's and Isreals war with Terrorists.
I sincerely do not understand this Pope.
It is Silence in the face of evil that makes evil multiply.
What exactly does he want the world to do with terrorists who believe their destiny is to kill every unbeliever and take over the world?
I hope that this Pope gets his priorities right.
English
@PatriotSassy How do you not know that the Church has a responsibility to speak out on moral issues? Questions regarding war & peace, care & treatment of the poor, the stranger in our land (i.e. migrants), & those marginalized by society are moral issues. See Mt. 25 on how we’re judged by God.
English
I am a practicing Catholic. Have been all my life, waaaayyyy over half a century. But I’ve had it with these damn popes getting political!! I couldn’t stand Pope Francis. 😤 We catholics are taught to believe that the pope is divinely chosen. That he is infallible. But I’m sorry, this one and the last one are hardly infallible. 😒 I had hopes for Leo but I had also heard that he was a liberal early on. Already, I can see he’s no better than Francis. Please, stop making Catholics feel like we have to choose.
Because I’ll choose Jesus always, but you are NOT Jesus!! I will NOT change my stance on my president! I will support him, however, the one thing I CAN control? How much money I put in the kitty every week. 💰 And right now, I’m not putting ANY money in that’s intended for Rome. Until the holy father stays out of our politics, he gets not one. red. cent. from me! His job is to lead people to Christ like a shepherd, not to “pontificate” on @POTUS @DonaldTrump! @Pontifex
English
@tomjmolloy @BishopBarron He is preaching the Gospel. Are you routinely sleeping through the Liturgy of the Word?
English
@BishopBarron Nonsense. I'm a Catholic. Check my contributions if you don't believe me.
Preach the Gospel and shut up about politics.
You spiritual weaklings locked us out of Mass during Covid. I sat on the bench Sundays praying for this Church. I almost left then. I've about had enough.
English
The statements made by President Trump on Truth Social regarding the Pope were entirely inappropriate and disrespectful. They don’t contribute at all to a constructive conversation. It is the Pope’s prerogative to articulate Catholic doctrine and the principles that govern the moral life. In regard to the concrete application of those principles, people of good will can and do disagree. I would warmly recommend that serious Catholics within the Trump administration–Secretary Rubio, Vice President Vance, Ambassador Brian Burch, and others–might meet with Vatican officials so that a real dialogue can take place. This is far preferable to the statements on social media.
I am very grateful for the many ways that the Trump administration has reached out to Catholics and other people of faith. It has been a high honor to serve on the Religious Liberty Commission. No President in my lifetime has shown a greater dedication to defending our first liberty. All that said, I think the President owes the Pope an apology.
English
@PressSec Karoline, you appear to be uninformed about the cost of things. $11,000 (about $917 a month) doesn’t go very far nowadays. Maybe you should go grocery shopping occasionally (preferably in a car so that you can buy gas too).
English
President Trump just received a McDonald’s delivery order from a DoorDash driver outside the Oval Office!
Thanks to President Trump signing No Tax on Tips into law, Sharron is using the $11,000 in tips that she made last year to support her family.

@AriFleischer Ari, you’re giving him a lot of undue credit. He probably loved it just like the one that depicted him in Papal attire during the conclave that elected Pope Leo.
English
President Trump’s team never should have posted this image. If he saw it first, he never should have approved it.
It’s inappropriate and embarrassing. It’s offensive.
(Note: It was posted on Truth Social, not X)
English
@TheCharlesDowns @60Minutes I guess you’re unfamiliar with the contents of the Bible.
English
Cardinal Robert McElroy of Washington, D.C. went on 60 Minutes (@60Minutes) tonight and confessed his hate for Trump & love of open borders.
Individuals suffering from TDS shouldn’t be running churches in our nation’s capital.
No one likes woke religion.
English
@BishopBarron @jaketapper What is your reaction to the picture President Trump posted that appears to cast him as Our Lord?
English
@SenTuberville Tommy, The country was founded on Enlightenment values. That movement’s leaders, i.e. Voltaire, were Deists who rejected Christianity. Our third President, who coincidentally authored the Declaration of Independence (a Deist) also produced a New Testament omitting all miracles.
English
I don’t give a RIP about being politically correct. Here’s the truth: America was founded on CHRISTIAN values.
If you refuse to assimilate and follow our laws, love our country, and be a proud AMERICAN… then LEAVE.
We don’t want you here.

@RogerJStoneJr @MELANIATRUMP Roger, your hardly a credible witness.

I was working for Donald Trump in New York when he was first dating Melania. Epstein was not involved in ANY way. The smears on this incredibly kind cultured and courageous First Lady are outrageous.
English
@megbasham Have you talked to American Protestants who aren’t Evangelicals?
English
I am not trying to make my Catholic friends, who I love, angry with this statement. But this entire episode is starting to explain to me why so many Americans were concerned about a Catholic president for so long.
I have no interest in Rome trying to dictate American policy. And if it continues to loudly make its opinions heard on our foreign policy, I believe they’re going to find a lot of American Protestants feeling a lot less ecumenical than we have been in the more recent past.
English
God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue among peoples.
English
English
@RadioFreeTom @drsltaylor yet, it took such power and restraint, a James Bond level of expertise to wrangel out of this so skillfully. Just the girth of his achievement on the global scale may be the most enormous success any president has ever had, or created. He saved us and there are tears in my eyes.
English
I'm not crowing TACO because we should all be glad that Trump's backing down after painting himself into a corner. If he needs to make up stories about "double-sided" ceasefires, fine, let him. (By definition, all ceasefires are "double-sided" or they're not a ceasefire). /1
