Journalist Mike Cernovich not only told Washington Post editor Karen Attiah that her newspaper published Qatari propaganda via ghostwritten Jamal Khashoggi columns – he challenged her to sue him.

Makes those notes that the Qatari embassy gave you on Khashoggi’s columns public.



We all know he didn’t write his own columns, and that he was sharing Qatari propaganda in the Washington Post.



Sue me for libel for saying this. Happy to go through the litigation process on this. https://t.co/wuHlXoXO01 — Mike Cernovich (@Cernovich) December 24, 2019

Attiah responded “You really don’t want this smoke,” and “Watch this space,” implying Cernovich would be sued.

Cernovich encouraged her to sue.

Go ahead and sue me.



I’m a lawyer and won’t even file an anti-SLAPP.



We will go to discovery and start looking at emails.



I have no ties to any foreign government.



Let’s see if you can say the same.



I’ll accept your lawsuit via email.



DM me to get your lawyers in touch. https://t.co/Zn0hprO2iq — Mike Cernovich (@Cernovich) December 24, 2019

Yep. I know the Jamal Khashoggi case well and look forward to the lawsuit from the Washington Post.



It’s going to be interesting to say the least. https://t.co/oP7zf0jMVm — Mike Cernovich (@Cernovich) December 24, 2019

Many on Twitter encouraged Attiah to bring the lawsuit she threatened, but she quickly backed down from the issue.

Take him up on the lawsuit you threatened.#BringtheSmoke — MookieVision (@MookieTheif) December 24, 2019

Karen: "you dont want this smoke!"



Mike: "let's go, Karen. Make sure you keep the receipts."



WaPo legal: "Karen, we don't want discovery. The NYT just got caught planting Chinese propaganda. We dont want the spotlight."



Karen: "well, um, you're not worth the time." — Every day is the 4th!⭐⭐⭐🇺🇸 (@Veritas4America) December 24, 2019

When WaPo threatens to bring the smoke and you say heck yes let’s do this and then they go radio silent. https://t.co/jxWY2uOdRW — Mike Cernovich (@Cernovich) December 24, 2019

“A lot of ‘journalists’ don’t understand the discovery process. I do,” said Cernovich. “Let’s get those Jamal Khashoggi emails. I can’t wait to read them.”

A lot of “journalists” don’t understand the discovery process.



I do.



Let’s get those Jamal Khashoggi emails. I can’t wait to read them.



Waiting to be sued by the a Washington Post.



Come on and bring that smoke. https://t.co/jxWY2uOdRW — Mike Cernovich (@Cernovich) December 24, 2019

Cernovich, an acclaimed lawyer, stated that he would file a lawsuit unless Attiah withdrew her lawsuit threat.

The lawsuit threat from the Washington Post columnist is credible enough to allow me to file my own declaratory judgment action in D.C. District Court.



I will avail myself of all legal remedies in this matter. — Mike Cernovich (@Cernovich) December 24, 2019

Cernovich retweeted an article on the Qatar Foundation shaping Khashoggi’s Washington Post columns, and wrote “I wonder if this is true? If only there were a way – such as a lawsuit – to find these emails???”

The corporate media lionized Khashoggi after he was allegedly killed in a Saudi embassy in Turkey.

“Jamal Khashoggi called Osama bin Laden the ‘lion of Afghanistan.’ We found his old tweets; the media covered it up but we got them,” wrote Cernovich.
