actual malice absent malice he has no case because he's a public official it doesn't matter

truth is not a defense when you're a public official.

This is an example.

A magazine could come out and say that Cash Patel fucks goats.

He's a goat fucker.

I'm being serious.

And if he sued, he would lose unless he could prove that the publication and the journalists are biased and they hate him and are trying to defame him.

He's a public official.

He's fair game. You signed up for it sir when you sat and perjured yourself yes perjured yourself numerous times in your confirmation hearings maybe you're used to going up against some dopes in court or the dopes in the Senate and the dopes in the house.

You testify in front of?

This is the big leagues.

You're going to get your ass whooped.

You've got no prayer of winning.

None.

I've been through the ringer on this as a reporter.

I know all about it.

You just try to save your job.

Why?

I don't know.

You got money?

Go get another fucking job.

You can party it up all night.
