The same Atlantic reporter who accused FBI director Kash Patel of being an alcoholic in a report that got her a lawsuit has now made more damning claims in a fresh report. Sarah Fitzpatrick claimed that the FBi director once lost his mind when one bourbon bottle went missing from his collection and he threatened agents with a lie-detector test. The new report cited an incident of March when Patel and his team brought at least once case of bourbon to the FBI's training facility in Quantico, Virginia for a "training seminar".
UFC athletes were providing MMA (mixed martial arts) instructions to aspiring FBI agents and senior staff at the training program. "At one point at least one bottle went missing, which caused the director to “lose his mind,” according to clients of Kurt Siuzdak, a retired agent who has assisted FBI agents, including whistleblowers, with legal issues. Siuzdak told me that multiple agents contacted him for legal guidance after Patel began threatening to polygraph and prosecute his staff over the missing bottle. “It turned into a sh*tshow,” Siuzdak said. Other attorneys told me they received similar calls from FBI employees regarding concerns about Patel’s bottles," Sarah wrote.
