Olivia of Troye @oliviaoftroye.com · Dec 4 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.

The media needs to hammer the Senate regarding Trump’s picks. If Patel is confirmed, Senate Rubs will show that they don’t care about law and order. Most people thought the days of J Edgar Hoover were over but time will tell.
Thank you for being one of the few adults in the room.
What do you call an attorney who graduated last in his class?
And we stand by you!
Fuck ‘em Olivia!
His lawyers are basically threatening defamation. But there are two parts they would have to prove in order to succeed in such a suit. First they would have to show that you lied in your MSNBC statement. That as a direct consequence of that lie to have suffered demonstrable financial damages.
Tell Kash Patel and his lawyers that Karma is going to track him down, step by step, town by town.
And we support YOU!
These guys sure like to bully women, They start off with this alpha, male attitude and in reality they are mutts.
Think they got the date, and address wrong. Correction: Date: December 4, 1692 Address: Salem, MA
Don’t believe the hype. Stand strong Ms. Olivia.
And that’s what going to be happening every time someone put him & them on blast they gonna threatened ppl with suit. Well I say suit on bcuz it’s not gonna stop the truth from being said or done…
Not how he MIGHT act. But how he WILL act. He will prosecute and arrest all who stand against Trump and his cabinet. They will change laws so they can do so legally. You know ..... Like a Nazi would
Sooo... He is NOT realizing he's validating all of your points with his move? 😐
Bankruptcy to shut you up
Unfit. Kash Patel cannot lead the FBI
Stand strong!
How about Kash Patel fuck all the way off and drag his addicted ass to rehab to break the Coke habit.
Fight the power!
Why are they demanding YOU have to preserve this stuff? Isn't the "proof that you lied" their burden? I'm obviously not a lawyer but I love that you're waiting to see if the chicken shit sues and then you can depose him.
If this was me, I’d like my lawyers to respond with “Go f*** yourself.” And nothing else. 😂 But obviously they must be professional. The SUPPRESSION of people’s FIRST AMENDMENT rights is already at FULL THROTTLE.
So much for their SCREECHING about free speech rights. The First Amendment also covers freedom of the press. Say it on MSNBC again and use “FREE SPEECH” 20 times in your comments.
Kash is obviously not a fan of Free Speech
Good! Don’t let BULLIES win!
The fascism, threats & intimidation are already starting and the totally inept and unqualified sociopath reveals exactly why he should NEVER be in our government or a position of power.
I hope you fight to protect our First Amendment freedoms and take him down in court.
Thank you, Olivia, we need more Republican men to come forward, why is it only the women who do?
Good. We need more people with the bravery to stand on principle. 🙌
Thanks for sharing and showing us the level of vindictiveness that we’re going to experience.
So. How much are all these lawsuits going to cost Kash and the rest of them? How many months in court? Suing potentially thousands of people who told their truth about you? How's that work, anyways?
Someone needs to remind Kash Patel that right now we still have our Constitutional right to Freedom of Speech, and that speaking the truth is not slander.
Stand strong against these Maga idiots
With you 100% Olivia!
What is his reputation that there is value to it?
Further proof of his utter unfitness
I mean, all he did was just confirm them🤷😅
A legal defense fund should be created for use by targets of expected non meritorious lawsuits by MAGAs like Patel against you and everyone else they target.
Freedom of speech is still viable for now at least
Well THIS gets you a follow for sure!
So VERY, VERY unqualified. Plus, he has the most Trumped -up resume to be seen. So MANY lies
What a cry baby!
Really seems like we should all email this asshat.
#KashPatel already showing how weak he is and how he thinks he has power to do whatever he wishes. Fck this guy! Pop-eyed little wiener man.
Stand for what you believe !
Sadly, I pass along to you an article/s I was just reading about the attacks on journalists who are fighting for democracy and freedom of the press from around the globe. I pass it along in hopes you will take note of their suggestions. Thank you for your reporting! niemanreports.org/dear-america/
We need groups of 1 million Amercians to show up at all the State capitol and Washington DC to protest. We need more like 69,000,000 Americans to go to protest in their states and state capitols. The Republicans are responsible. Don’t blame trump. Blame Republicans as they are sitting on their hands
Truly a pathetic little man.
I stand with you.
The unfit insurrections doth protest too much methinks. And that speaks well of you! Keep giving em hell, Liv!
And so it begins....🤦♀️ They have been very vocal about what they plan to do!🤬
So, wow. What an arrogant @$$hole. Those crazy eyes are enough to make him unfit to serve such a high office. Or even a low office. Any farmer would have put him out of his misery a long time ago just for having those crazy eyes.
Bully tactics. I've seen stuff like this before. I once saw a very similar letter written to a media company during a political advertising season about claims made by another opponent in an ad. As much as they try to intimidate media outlets, they don't have a leg to stand on.
Screw that, what a fascist tool, double down on these chump and their corruption
And the litigation terrorism continues….
He is a public figure, right?
Kash Patel is qualified for only one thing - a lifetime Federal Prison sentence! Go ahead Kash - send ME a letter too!
This is so un-American. We have your back, Olivia.
he's a snowflake
I’m a bit baffled. You can’t trash a reputation that is already through their own conduct, comprehensively in the gutter can you? What am I missing?
Stay the course, stay strong I / we have your six
Scary times
Thank you for standing strong and doing so much to help us defend our Democracy. I only wish that strength of character and love of Country (our Country) was as contagious as Covid: by now, you would have opened so many more eyes and helped to strengthen many more backbones.
Uphold WHAT reputation? Seems your comments actually upheld his earned reputation quite well. If only idiots like Kash understood that reputation is in the eye of the beholder, not the subject. Are there laws against lawyers taking money from clients who are sure to lose?
"Dear sir/madam, I refer you to the First Amendment of the US Constitution. Yours sincerely"
Rooting for you. Your integrity and courage are admirable.
Sounding like might have to stand by them in court of law.
Attempting to silence free press is very Nazi of him.
Patel is a tool! Does he even have any law enforcement experience?
Well, anyone can sue. Win? Different story.
I honor you!! Please stay strong ! I’m praying ya strength !!!!
And I stand by you!!!
The dumb shit, tell him to get a clue about free speech from his goon friend Musk LOL. He apparently doesn't know Americas laws :)
So they want to silence criticisms yet they are the ones that are being petty going after anyone who deemed #OrangeCaligula a threat or even brought up cases to which he was found guilty of?
PATEL IS DANGEROUS Trump rewarding Kash Patel to become the new FBI director tells you very precisly what awaits. Hunting down people supporting Biden and believing 2020 was not rigged. Eliminating democracy by weakening your opponents in any way possible just like in Russia. Fascism.
Kash and Karry Patel.
And we stand by you! 👬👭🧑🤝🧑
That's wild.
Just bin all
Thanks for standing your ground, Olivia! Much love, respect, and admiration for all that you do🫶👍
The nerve of these people. What happened to freedom of speech? Please keep fighting the good fight. We need your voice.
If he can't take the heat...snowflake.
Keep speaking the truth.
It would behoove every Senate Republican who’s ever spoken out against Trump to examine this closely & vote on Patel’s nomination accordingly. Bring it to their attention: 202-224-3121
Krazy Eyes Kash deserves every word you said!
First Amendment rights and freedom of press. Let em sue
Thank you for your ethics and courage🩵
Free speech that expresses concerns about the suitability, qualifications, & negative character traits of any GOP official, MAGA bully, or Trump... will soon be made illegal. (Fascists silent voices of reason, criticism, dissent). Thx Olivia of Troye 👏
Have your counsel issue a short reply stating ‘Discovery will be fun.’
Don’t give in!! We need your voice!
From the Trump playbook.
And so it begins. Best of luck!! Thanks for being principled.
Stand strong against these incompetent weasels. We know #KashPatel is unfit to serve as FBI director, just as Dump is unfit to serve as President again.
You deserve a pardon from President Biden. He may give all of you one. I hope.
Free speech! Yay!
Thank you Olivia
Uhm...what two-bit Law Firm would demand a public apology on a social media platform?
What an unprofessional letter
Stand strong. Patel is a pathetic pick for the position.
I'm surprised #KashPatel took Donald Trump's dick out of his mouth long enough to speak to lawyers.
Courage and conviction and stay with it
Does anyone know if there’s currently a PAC or other organization that’s raising funds to pay for the legal fees of journalists that have bogus litigation brought against them by the incoming administration? I would gladly make a monthly donation.
WOW, Unbelievable & very sad. When people like Patel don’t have the truth on their side they resort to threats, just like Trump. So proud that you are speaking up for the truth 🙏🏻💕
I stand with you Olivia!
It’s interesting that they specify a retraction be put onto X. No mention of any other outlet. If it was so defamatory, shouldn’t everyone hear it?
FIRST AMENDMENT ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK? Here we go....
Very proud of you Olivia! Push back even harder. They are testing us and we won’t give up! We are stronger than this they know! Keep up the good fight and being on the correct side of history!!! We got your back! 💙🇺🇸
Bullying and harassment is how they will roll. DeSantis in Flo bullied broadcast media and demanded that they not air adds supporting the Abortion protection amendment.
I thought Mark Zaid was representing Patel!!!! #Phewwwww #WhistleblowersUnite
Thank you for being a banner of strength in this process.
The truth is an absolute defense, so you’re safe.
Kash Patel is a seriously dangerous mental case. He should be kept out of the WH by any means possible. I want to thank you for your voice in this battle to save American democracy. Please be safe! 💙✊🏾
Boy, Kash really wants this job. I stand with Olivia.
You're not going to get sued for saying what Patel "would do". You did the right thing by posting this. It's more evidence that he shouldn't be confirmed.
There the other side goes, perpetuating actual lawfare while complaining that our seeking real justice is unfair and invalid.
Good for you.
Good on you standing by what you said. Patel is a thug who thinks he can threaten ppl especially women.
We support you!
So sorry Olivia.. Thank you for standing tall:)
Wow. Imagine this intimidation letter coming from DOJ instead of a private sector law firm. Crazy, but in a few short months, they might & it's a mortal threat to our democracy. Luck willing, the courts don't change the defamation standard from malice to "displeases Trump & his special people."
📌
If he wasn’t a clueless psychopath, he might show a wee bit of restraint in advance of confirmation hearings…
He’s too emotional to be in charge of anything!
His panties are in a bunch and it's funny 🤣
How does one respond to that?
Don't let the bastard get you down
And what fresh horror has the Donigula wrought today...
Wow You are amazing and brave You should wear a superhero emblem on your clothes 😌
This is BS and disqualifying from the outset. Patel is a thug. Trumpism is full of thugs, bullies, and Batman villains.
Patel is a punk and thug. Both high traits in Trump universe.
It’s almost like it’s the truth being told.
I don't know what everyone's complaining about. It seems like they sent you two very nice pieces of toilet paper. Shouldn't we be stocking up on that about now?
Thank you for telling us about his bullying too.
This needs to be more in people's faces.
Freedom of speech for me but not for thee.
His reputation? Nothing anyone says about him, true or not, could damage his reputation any further than he’s already done.
You are amazing and brave and a badass!
Kash Patel is proving that he will go after anyone who tells the truth about who he really is.
That's like calling the kettle black!
Stay strong, Olivia. That bullying must not be let to stand.
What a coward. These people will spend all day slandering their political rivals and spewing hate and lies.
Double down. Make more specific allegations, go to court with receipts, bury the fucker
Stay strong! You have my support!
Stay strong….
Thank you. We have to stand up to these bullies or we are all lost.
Good for you! 👏👏👏💪
You go girl!
What kind of Law Firm uses the term “milked” such a weird letter
Go,Olivia!!
Am following you !!! Keep fighting for all of us 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💪🏼
Good for you!
So much for freedom of speech !
Kash Patel is wildly unfit to serve as FBI Director. There, do I get a nasty letter from his lawyer too?
The truth is an absolute defense against a defamation claim... Good luck, Mr. Pennies. You're gonna need it
Stay strong !!
He’s such a tool. We’re with you, Olivia!
Sounds like a good Article to Follow up on with another with these receipts!
I stand by your statements, too!
Did poor little #KashPatel have his feeling hurt?
You go girl!
Last time I checked, voicing one’s opinion about someone isn’t against the law. Exactly how do you prove you’re NOT a bootlicker in court?
You have guts, Olivia of Troye. Good for you and thank you.
Thank you Olivia for all you do and have done for this country.
Do not stand down to Kashpatels dictator like demands. He seems to forget the first amendment quite regularly as he poseys up to the fat fuk president elect. Pardon my French!😂
Why is it that people in Trump’s circle never deny that they suck or have committed crimes, they just don’t want anyone to TALK about it?
