    He knows all that. He was a lawyer. He also knows how the bullshit civil courts work in the US and how Americans think suing someone means you are validated.

      He knows all that. He was a lawyer.

      The later is not absolute evidence for the former. There are lawyers who are also morons. Well known example: Rudy Giuliani. I sincerely believe that Patel may not understand the hole he’s dug for himself.

      Also, you can just harass and paper-whip a journalist out of existence a lot easier when you’re the head of the FBI. Hell, worse comes to worst, call up your buddies in charge of the Pentagon or CIA, I’m sure they can find someone to just knock off the plaintiffs for cheap.

        That normally implies cordial relations between heads of departments. No one in the administration likes anyone else, they like themselves and sucking up to Trump to benefit themselves.

        Kash would need to get Trump to get someone else to cooperate and you can’t go running to the boss to clean up your mess when you’re supposed to be cleaning up his!
