The congressional staffer who wrote the controversial memo for Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) was once benchslapped by a federal judge for ineptitude.
Kash Patel, a top Nunes staffer and senior counsel for the House Intelligence Committee, traveled to London last summer to question the former British spy who wrote the Trump-Russia dossier.

Other lawyers said theyd never an attorney slapped so hard from the bench.
It is just a slap in the face, is what it is, South Texas law professor Geoffrey Corn told the Houston Chronicle. When you are a judge, you get the prerogative of saying what you feel and putting it in a Ruling of Ineptitude. Ive never seen anything like that.

(33,337 posts)7. benchslapped worse than the article shows
I clicked through one of the links to the transcript offered by The Washington Post. The judge goes after Patel even worse than the later, posted article reveals. It's worth the read!

bothered to consult his lawyer before doing something so stupid.
