Yeah, well, there's like three big stories going on with the Trump administration abusing their power right now. So one, Cash Patel has the FBI investigating the Atlantic over the story from a few weeks ago about his erratic behavior and his drinking, where he locked himself out of his office and embarrassed the shit out of himself
