Kash Patel filed a defamation case against The Atlantic and reporter Sarah Fitzpatrick over a story that characterized him as an incompetent drunk who is jeopardizing national security. In July, The Atlantic responded with a motion to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a claim. Earlier this week, Patel filed his response. He argues that the court cannot decide, at this stage, that Patel cannot prove his case to a jury. I can only think of one other administration this incompetent: Nixon's. A total of 69 government and campaign officials were charged, and 48 were convicted of crimes related to Richard Nixon's Watergate scandal. This group included top White House aides, cabinet members, and individuals tied directly to Nixon’s re-election effort. levin-center.org

High-Ranking Officials Involved John Mitchell: U.S. Attorney General and head of the Committee to Re-elect the President (CREEP), who was convicted and jailed. H.R. Haldeman: White House Chief of Staff, forced to resign and later jailed for conspiracy and obstruction of justice. John Ehrlichman: Chief Domestic Policy Advisor, resigned and jailed for his role in the cover-up. John Dean: White House Legal Counsel, who cooperated with prosecutors after being fired. Charles Colson: Special Counsel to the President, who served prison time. Acceptance of Responsibility As the release of the secret White House audio tapes proved his direct involvement in the cover-up, Nixon finally dropped these blames. In his August 5, 1974 address, he admitted that he had made poor decisions and accepted personal blame for the scandal. The Epstein Files are a lot more scandalous than the Nixon Watergate tapes. Imagine how many heads will roll when those files get released. Judgment Day will come. At least Nixon took responsibility.
