Atlantic reporter Sarah Fitzpatrick says she’s 'inundated' with sources
Atlantic staff writer Sarah Fitzpatrick told The Atlantic's radio program she has been 'inundated' with new sources corroborating her profile of FBI Director Kash Patel after Patel sued her for $250 million. Fitzpatrick said the additional sources include officials 'up to the highest levels of the government,' that the people she originally interviewed were frightened by Patel's behavior, and that she stands by 'every single word' of the story. Those fresh corroborations strengthen Fitzpatrick's reporting and increase legal and political pressure on Patel as his defamation suit moves forward, making the case consequential for coverage of senior national security officials.
Sarah Fitzpatrick, The Atlantic investigative journalist behind the bombshell story about Kash Patel: "I've received additional sourcing going up to the highest levels of the government providing additional corroborating information.” Stick a fork in Patel, he's done!💙 #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed
He's a pissant showboat with no experience who has pissed off a lot of the "regular" FBI and they are coming after him "with knives out". Fuck him.
Michael Corthell4The public deserves transparency here. If officials entrusted with national security are compromised, dishonest, or abusing power, that is not gossip. That is a democracy problem.
Clem H. Fandango4Don't forget the woman from the labor department that recently got the axe.
Jas 🪶🐻🦉🇺🇸🇨🇦4They (insiders) want him gone.
teemactoo7.bsky.social3I sure hope so! Although, you never know if the next one will be worse…🥴
Mariana3Top guy Very concerned & tuned in. Laser sharp. Hawk-like focus on our vulnerable status w China & Russia. We're being set up for massive attacks.
laurak4.bsky.social2Liquid Courage, because they're both lacking it otherwise.
Old Butstillkicken2A well stocked liquor cabinet is exceedingly more valuable than those two drunken imbeciles!
Rebecca E ❌👑2And may he take Hogsbreath with him!! Two peas in a very rotten pod!
"Kash Patel? I barely knew him." Donald Trump next week probably

jameshmclaren.bsky.social3Fitzpatrick already had 2 dozen sources and she was inundated with new ones, wow. I really hope Patel is dumb enough to proceed with his lawsuit.
Rick Alexander ⚖️ ☮️ 🔭🇺🇦🇨🇦2Discovery is going to be spectacular for this case.
LoboJoe2Does he know what discovery is?

The Black Ninja4Not even shocked. The stupidity from this Administration will be studied in history classes around the world. Discovery will open the flood gates of his personal activities around drinking. Because even if you're not drinking on the job, but tied one on the night before. It's still in your system.
Reclamation2Ha, ha, ha. I love this for him. Discovery is a beatch.
Patel will be gone long before Xmas. The Atlantic’s Sarah Fitzpatrick spoke about her profile of FBI Director Kash Patel in which she reported he often drinks on the job. Patel subsequently filed a defamation lawsuit against her and the publication. /1
Jim5I shudder at the idea that the head of the FBI is unfamiliar with Discovery.
Dale Baker4“One of the things that has most gratifying immediately after the story published was I have been inundated by additional sourcing, going up to the very highest levels of the government, thanking us for doing the work… providing us with additional corroborating information.” /END
