FBI Director Kash Patel followed through on his threat to sue The Atlantic over a hit piece that unflatteringly portrays him, but he could be in for a tough time in court thanks to a biased Washington, D.C. jury.
A former Obama federal prosecutor inadvertently acknowledged the truth about the partisan jury pool in the nation’s capital, a city that overwhelmingly votes Democrat and loathes President Donald J. Trump with a purple passion.
In a Monday post to X, podcaster and former U.S. attorney Joyce Vance shared a screenshot of Patel’s defamation lawsuit filed earlier in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia seeking $250 million in damages from the outlet and its reporter Sarah Fitzpatrick for the piece titled “The FBI Director Is MIA” which painted a picture of the FBI boss as a raging drunk.
“Good luck with that D.C. jury…,” wrote Vance, a frequent contributor on MS NOW/MSNBC as a legal analyst.

Vance’s admission that the high-ranking government official has a snowball’s chance in hell of prevailing in a court with a stacked jury box of rabidly anti-Trump partisans is a damning indictment of the nation’s judicial system, which has been politicized and weaponized to protect Democrats and punish their enemies.
X users responded by pointing out that which is now obvious – that justice isn’t blind in the D.C. kangaroo courts.

Wow.
You know that Republicans can’t get a fair shake in DC courts too?Could you say something more public about it?

Thatnks for admitting why all government operations need to be moved out of DC because the people are all a bunch of corrupt, lying Democrat deep state lackeys.
You filthy traitors.

Though it’s no secret, it still seems rather self-defeating and stupid to publicly acknowledge that DC courts are weighed against Conservative litigants, and that the merits of a given suit simply do not matter at all.

This is the same thing as a KKK member telling you “good luck” in front of a klan judge in 1915….. https://t.co/P6LJ09LIAS

Corrupt Democrat attorney admits Democrat voters are corrupt and will always side with Dmocrats

Exactly why the DC court needs to be disbanded. Not reflective of the population. Whole jury of peers thing doesnt apply there.

The ex-prosecutor’s post also underscores the determination by disgraced former President Joe Biden and his corrupt Justice Department to railroad Trump on J6 charges to get him into a D.C. courtroom, an objective that was thwarted when the Supreme Court upheld the principle of presidential immunity in 2024, derailing lawfare goon Jack Smith’s bogus case that would have been presented to a tainted jury.
Vance’s saying the quiet part out loud is a prime reason why many Americans are losing faith in a system that used to be the envy of the civilized world until the courts were hijacked by Democrats.
