I read a ~~great thread on Bluesky earlier~~ detailing how many times Kash Patel may have completely botched this case by all the stupid things he's said on FOX today. Definitely worth a read!
*Edit to add ~~Skyview thread unroll link~~
*Edit #2: it was pointed out in the comment below that many folks in the thread I linked are calling into question the OOP's claims and professional background. After a brief view myself, there is at least one person within those comments whom I do believe when they say its "full of errors"
I'm leaving my original comment up for now for posterity sake, but I am more than willing to remove it if that would be more appropriate.
It appears there are replies to this thread that call into question many of the things stated
it reeks of punditry - surface level knowledge and worst case scenarios presented with lots of confidence. fwiw the persons quoted qualifications have absolutely nothing to do with law. They are a “blockchain” and data science person who also does venture capital and angel investing, aka a classic “I don’t know when to stay in my fucking lane and think that because I made a shitload of money I must be a genius at everything ever” type
Care to analyze any of the statements that have been called out? Or maybe copy/screenshot any of the comments discrediting them if you have the time?
I'm not trying to be an asshole, here, but everything beyond the first sentence or two in your comment is just character assassination (ad hominem). Obviously the guy's credentials are not in law, but that doesn't automatically invalidate his analysis since we've got no concept of who he's able to consult with behind the scenes.
I don't have a BlueSky account, so I can't check the comments for myself, only see the root posts.
I hate all pundits. They all have stupid dumb takes the public takes as gospel and ends up making this world a worse place. It is the one “profession” I absolutely hate and despise.
Pundits made an entire career out of pure speculation. I hate watching, listening to, even reading that kind of shit - topic be damned. But especially with topics that genuinely interest me. It's just pointless fluff.
They're no better than youtube channels that post videos about cars....that are completely AI generated. One dude in an automotive discord that I'm in almost fell for one.
Exactly!! They are simply court jesters speaking to the peasants keeping us divided. Fuck em all.
Thank you for pointing this out. It seems that you are correct. I've edited my original comment
Is there any way I can extract all this out into text? I’m having a hard time following each of the posts. They keep hiding behind replies.
Here, try this out
I want to believe but…our court system is a joke
i just went through vore dire recently, JD recently. yea they need people that arnt smart enough to get out of JURY DUTY.
You rock thanks!!
Maybe it’s intentional so they let one of their own go.
Can't remember if it was part of that thread, or a comment on it... but there was a suggestion that they likely don't care about the case itself, rather they're more concerned about crafting and maintaining the narrative. Based on how this week has played out, I can't say that I'd disagree
maybe if he doesnt look likes hes on cocaine 24/7 he might actually do something useful.
Upvoting for honesty.
A great breakdown in one of the most obnoxiously stupid formats one can imagine. Dozens and dozens of short posts...
I've always hated Twitter for this. How asinine...
