Summary

In breaking news, FBI Kash Patel’s attempts to litigate his way into proving that he is not prone to “excessive drinking” on the job, has backfired spectacularly in just 24 hours as the House Democrats demand that he take an alcohol abuse test and submit for sworn testimony about his security clearance and possible drinking; Patel’s own outburst at a press conference calls into question is suitability for the job; new public records requests seek his credit cards and travel expense records, and a federal judge dismisses an earlier efamation case Patel bragged about that brought against a former FBI leader about —what else— his partying in nightclubs instead of doing his job. Popok ties this whirlwind together as the drum beat to replace him grows louder. Subscribe: @LegalAFMTN Visit https://meidasplus.com for more!
