Today, #KashPatel sent a letter to my counsel @markzaidesq.bsky.social threatening to sue & demanding I retract my MSNBC comments on his unfitness to serve as FBI Director. This follows his threats against media & political opponents, showing how he might act if confirmed. I stand by my statements.

"Litigation will be filed against you..."
Lawsuits are initiated by the filing of a "omplaint".
"Litigation" is the process that ensues thereafter.
Pro tip: if the attorney threatening you is illiterate, tell him to have at it and that his client will most likely be paying your attorneys fees.

Perhaps you can send a copy of this threat to ongress.
Maybe they will invite you to testify in his confirmation hearing, both as a subject matter expert in Homeland Security N as a person who received such direct threats from him for exercising your Freedom of Speech in a public forum.

You, Ms Troye, are a badass!!!
I love your comment in regard to this letter from Patel’s lawyers. This whole potential admin seems to think they can “rule” by fear and threats. Little do they know who they are dealing with! You’re an excellent role model for so many!

NO ONE believes Kash Patel. He is a compulsive liar.
The guy is a danger, is completely unfit, and is a OMPLETE nut job who sold cures to detox from the ovid vaccine.
Waiting for his mom to go on TV and say “Kash is a good boy.”
