lol so the FBI director is suing a magazine instead of, i dunno, actually doing his job while gas prices are through the roof? This is what we're doing now??
$250 million?? For what, someone writing about his behavior?? This is exactly the kind of authoritarian stuff we should be worried about, using lawsuits to intimidate journalists into silence!
Wonder who benefits from this lawsuit dropping right now, right when the Iran situation is blowing up gas prices even more. Classic intimidation move.
Yeah, nothing says "I'm confident in my record" like suing the press while your boss is lying about Iran deals that nobody believes.
*hums X-Files theme* Scully keeps telling me this is just normal politics but come ON, how many people gotta sue the media before we start asking whats REALLY going on here?? The Truth is out there.

If he's so worried about his reputation maybe he should focus on actually running the FBI instead of playing lawyer. Just saying.
