BREAKING! The Retribution Begins! Kash Patel Threatens MSNBC Guest w/ Legal Action | Bulwark Takes

Tim and Sam react to Kash Patel's lawyer sending a letter to Olivia Troye threatening legal action for speaking out on his unfitness to serve as FBI director in the coming administration, and how it directly shows the fears many have with the FBI department being weaponized against journalists and political opponents.

Thank you to James Comey, Bill Barr, Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy, Lindsey Graham and Susan Collins, all of them Republicans, who had the chance over the last 8 years to end this madness but chose party over country every time.

If they want to prosecute journalists who lie, shouldn’t everyone at fox go to jail?

[kathryntimmer]

Do we not, as private citizens, have a First Amendment right to voice our opinion about public figures?

[QueenOfTheNorth]

For Kash Patel to go after Olivia for saying something that’s been out there for a year is extremely petty. Perhaps we should call him Petty Kash?

That anyone would even consider Hegseth for more than 30 seconds tells you how sick the Republican Party has become

Olivia Troye has bigger balls than most men against Trump. Where many men kept and keep quiet, Olivia has firsthand knowledge in intelligence and shares her experience.
K$H Patel shows he does not like to be called to the party regarding his actions.

Greatest respect and admiration for Olivia. A woman of rare integrity and courage.

[pwsalem]

Supporting Olivia 110%‼️ Kash is such a weasel that lacks credibility.

[kathyhurley]

Olivia is 100% braver than most of the men who worked for Trump the first time around. I support her 💯.

[RockonRain]

Tim. If Olivia is sued or legally harassed by Kash Patel in any way please establish fund so readers can donate for her defense. You and The Bulwark are doing good work.

Note: he’s threatening Olivia Troye, not Mark Esper and William Barr who said the exact same thing about Kash Patel.

[Cynthiajay]

Kash Patel at the head of the FBI will make J Edgar Hoover's reign look like a church picnic.

[Frostie-eg]

Olivia Troye has EVERY right to express her opinion having been on the inside of these events. She was a direct witness to his perfidy and obstruction of justice. She has first hand experience dealing with these fascist liars. He's unhinged and everybody knows it. Including him..

[jaxtrusty]

I’m glad she did not back down. That’s the only option. Stand up to the bully every time. Lt Vindman recently hit back with the response of I’m not afraid. Because truth still matters.

[vedagower-mywy]

This threat alone should show that he should not be any thing with the FBI!

[MarC-tehe]

By the way, I applaud her for standing her ground. We resisters must stand with all those who resist!

[tanjamorris]

Intimidation. That’s what this is. When will the American people understand just how dangerous this Administration is? We are screwed.

[essiebessie]

I am terrified for all the journalists, bloggers, vloggers, comedians, politicians, activists and attorneys that will be targeted by this regime.

[cbstuff]

The message wasn’t for Olivia Troye.

He was sending a message to everyone else!

[henrykrinkle]

What a horrifying, vindictive creature. It's insanity if he becomes head of the FBI.
