A federal judge has tossed out a racketeering lawsuit House Intelligence Committee chair Devin Nunes filed last year against the private investigation firm at the heart of the Trump-Russia saga

, which sought $9.9 million in damages from Fusion GPS, its founder Glenn Simpson and a nonprofit watchdog group, Campaign for Accountability.The judge also signaled that pressing on with the legal battle could result in sanctions against Nunes and his attorney, Steven Biss.

Fusion GPS carried out a project for Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democratic National Committee that produced a compilation of raw intelligence on the Russian connections of Trump and his allies. The controversial compendium came to be known as the Steele Dossier, after its author, former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele.

However, O'Grady said the allegations in the complaint were too vague to meet standards the Supreme Court laid out in 2007 for the amount of detail needed to move forward with a civil case. He also suggested his Virginia courtroom might not be the right place to sue. O'Grady said he'd allow a revised version of the suit to be re-filed within 30 days, but he said that should only happen if Nunes can craft a complaint that doesn't violate a federal rule against court filings that are frivolous or unsupported by evidence.

DIRTY COW NUNES!!!

Swing and a miss. First of many losses for Devoid.

Devin Nunes is dangerous. The American people need your district to help clear the swamp.

It's time for the people of his district to throw Devin Nunes out of Congress.

Serves him right!!

😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

No there there,never was!just alarming people with their Republican fabrications!,they are good at that!, the sad part is that many Americans believe what they hear 👂Many people are just glued to FAKE FOX 🦊 NEWS! Guess they enjoy being FOOLED by DONALD TRUMP and his buddies?

Nunes and frivolous lawsuits, name a more iconic duo. But really how does this clown have the money to pay for all these lawsuits?

Fusion should be held accountable for the garbage and knowingly fabricated lies it paid for and disseminated.

Problem for Nunes is that he is dirty and guilty

Nunes has Russian dirt and corruption on his hands too.

IAmSophiaNelson Good! His treasonous ass

He can always look for another cow to sue.

I read somewhere that he has another frivolous lawsuit in the works.

really who cares.

DevinNunes oops

Still have some swamp judges to remove.

Courts can take judicial notice of his pattern of filing frivolous suits.

Courts should recognize nunes as a serial filer of bogus lawsuits and assess costs against him when they throw him out and refuse any further filings w/o the defendant’s permission to be sued by nunes.

Richard Grenell now highest-ranking openly gay official in US government history!

now can we toss out Nunes?

He's on the right track, Liberalism is a racket.

_Nick_Hodge O'Grady said he'd allow a revised version of the suit to be re-filed within 30 days, but he said that should only happen if Nunes can craft a complaint that doesn't violate a federal rule against court filings that are frivolous or unsupported by evidence.

Of course they did

How does this ignorant fool get people in California to vote him in the office?🙄🙄🙄😡🇺🇸🇺🇸

He's dumber than a damn rock I swear Moo Nunes Moo

Damn

alexzfinley

One frivilous lawsuit dropped,how many more to go?Thought he could intimidate ppl with baseless lawsuits.Even filed one against a cow.

Who is paying the legal fees for all the Nunes lawsuits?

Unfortunately with Devin Nunes, the court is playing whack-a-Russian-mole.

When is this turncoat going to be prosecuted?

I really hope that republican conspiracy theory 'trials' moved faster...

Politico Printed Chinese Propaganda Smearing Hong Kong Protest

Don't give up, Devin!

Republicans with evidence don't get heard, Democrats with presumptions get the full power of the justice department. The corruption in the justice department is too obvious

Bet it was an Obama appointed Judge.

He's an opportunist without the opportunity.

Projection. Devin Nunes is one of the bad guys. That traitor will be in prison once America gets Trump out of office.

Keep at them Devin.

How is bankrolling these things?

Withput prejudice, So he can refile it.

Who is paying for all of Devin's lawsuits?

Moo moo moo!

Starting with O’Grady, more swamp to clean out!!!!!

Oh well, it didn’t cost him anything onto the next slapp suit. Moo

NatashaBertrand So, like, a firm NO for naked Trump pics?

Must be a judge appointed by Obama doj needs to check her or him out

What goes around comes around.

More bs

NatashaBertrand votethefuckerout

NatashaBertrand Just a theatrical gesture due to popular demand.

NatashaBertrand Wonder who paid the attorney?

NatashaBertrand Nunes transparent when he doesn't want to be. Not clever or smart guy.

NatashaBertrand Look DevinNunes 'Boohoo, he hurt my fewings, so I'm suing...' 'Mr Pwesident, I ran...huh...huh... here as soon as I...huh...huh...heard... the DNI is telling congress ...huh..huh... that the Russians are meddling... Am I your favewit stooge?!' SNITCH!

FauvreArt He sure likes to sue everyone who doesn’t agree with him and his disgusting boss. We call what people do who sue all the time the blue collar lottery! Nunes is pathetic and desperate. Mooooo.

Miserable, corrupt human.....Who is funding all his lawsuits. We need itemized donations to Mooones.

NatashaBertrand Who funding Nunes legal battles?

NatashaBertrand they’re were NOT at the heart of the Russia influence investigation, only Devin Nunes and the GOP are saying this about the raw research info Steele provided to GPS .. words matter .. please report ONLY truthful unbiased FACTS

NatashaBertrand Since you brought it up, and since I see that mentioning it makes Trump nuts, and since I'm feeling a tad cranky today, here's a link to the SteeleDossier.

NatashaBertrand He will be burred in a cow poop once trump pee on him! He will be a victim of Pee and Poop! DevinCow DevinNunes

NatashaBertrand How many lawsuits does this chode currently have going? This maniac literally sues everybody! Seems pretty petty and swampy to me 🤔

NatashaBertrand

NatashaBertrand Good for them.

NatashaBertrand If only the judge had dismissed with extreme prejudice.

Drewdferguson Boo Phucking Moo, Dev. 🤪

Does anyone take this guy seriously 🤪

The lawsuit isn't the only thing that needs to be tossed. Toss out Nunes as well!

djoretiree This is a good first step! Step 2 is to toss him out of office. PhilArballo2020 VoteThemAllOut2020 GOPBetrayedAmerica

Got caught....

I herd the lawsuit had udderly no merit. cowsuit ➡️ 🐄 DevinNunesIsAnIdiot

Corrupt liberal judges should be impeached and removed.

Another killer piece from the Beijing-funded Politburo.

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Shmuck

DevinNunes WOMP WOMP

'Fusion GPS carried out a project for Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democratic National Committee that produced a compilation of raw intelligence on the Russian connections of Trump and his allies.' The GOP initiated it. Funny how that's left out.

Court dumps Nune's suit against Trump dossier firm! the man's a joke!

All his lawsuits are bullshit, that's why he uses lawyers in Virginia. Virginia lacks SLAPP laws, so it's one of the heavens of frivolous lawsuits.

Now put shoe on the other foot & sue Devin back! 🐂💩🤡

He should be put out to pasture.

.DevinNunes loser and he will soon lose to a cow as well.

I am sure the Californians will dump DevinNunes . One more seat for the Dems. He is a complete disaster. I am sure even Trump will disavow him. Susan_Hennessey thedailybeast MMFlint davidaxelrod AliVelshi

Time to looooove on.

gtconway3d Devin loses again!

DevinNunes

Just read that on Herd On The Farm (an underSOB secret mag — secret so the Cow won’t sewer it in his next lawsewer)! Must be so udderly embarrassing for cudchewer nunes. He is a disgrace to his cudtry!

Activist judges! Trump is replacing as many as possible.

Did the judge see Nunes name on the suit, laugh, and toss it out?

BOOM! Another one bites the dust!

Is that firm bled dry? Then he will have accomplished his purpose

MAJOR LOSER

Now he'll never get to see those photos. Sad day for Devin

He is moot; a danger not only to our democracy; but to himself.

Odds that Devin will repackage his grievances and go forum shopping - even under threat of sanctions? The TreasonousCowpoke and Chief Sycophant has as much respect for the Constitution & Rule-of-Law as his Dear Leader does. sad

🐄🐄🐄 Devin’s cows are coming home to graze & to feed him cow pat hamberders🍔.

gtconway3d Midnight run of Devin the first few days of trump administration remember that he handed over some kind of documents

gtconway3d The hypocrisy of trump and his enablers

DevinNunes is trying so hard to hide his involvement.

Maybe they should have listened , look how this new election is going already !

Can’t anyone do something to get rid of DevinNunes, an amazing self-serving tRump kiss-ass a-hole

Now we need to get Devin Nunes tossed out of government forever. Liars & fascists are bad for Democracy. Vote accordingly!

Nunes is a russian stooge!! Remove! Indict!! Lock up Nunes!

Katty_Kissem It's also time to throw out the Trash... that is DevinNunes

Republicans always lose in court because the facts are not the same thing as partisan spin.

So the discredited dossier works as proof to get FISA warrants to spy on Americans but not as proof that Fusion GPS did anything wrong in pursuing Nunes et al? Nunes is one of very few members of the House who tried to get to the truth of the DNC-Deep State-Russia saga.

freddyatton Who is financing DevinNunes’ lawsuits?

Now crawl back under your rock

I’m sure an Obama appointed judge did it

That’s Ranking Member. RepAdamSchiff is and has been the Chair of HouseIntel since Jan 2019. getitright

This article only mentions the Clinton and DNC connections to the 'dossier' without mentioning that it was first commissioned by Conservatives to gather opposition research against Trump. That omission and how what is included is phrased provides a clearly inaccurate impression.

He should be prosecuted with the rest of the corrupt crew.

Nunes is part of the swamp !!

How embarrassing for him

No kidding Why is Nunes still in congress after it was proved he conspired with levparnas ? Oh right. Republicans love crime and hate America

Adam Schiff is the Chair of the Intelligence committee.

Nunes is not the Chair of the Intelligence committee. He was the ranking member.

Some more two sided Justice for Dem's. What this Judge saying okay that Dem's have coup d'etat with Russians. So they can take down elected President!

How many times has Popehat been mentioned due to RICO?

Oh man, he’s gonna have a cow.

Awe nunes so sorry

gperry70

DevinNunes is being herded in 🤘🙌 giddy up

Great!

Is that the fake farmer with the cow?

Nunes should be ejected from Congress!

gtconway3d Who paid for this lawsuit?

What an environment improvement. Fun-tastic. The shit didn't hit the fan and didn't invaded the Court's rooms.

gtconway3d Nunes is the personification of dumb.

RepAdamSchiff RepSwalwell So who is paying all of Nunes’ Attorney’s fees and Costs for his frivolous lawsuits (ie DevinCow) And is it in Rubles?

Nunes = moron 🤣

Touché 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

gtconway3d Is there a legal penalty for nuisance suits?

We need to privatize every government agency so that all swamp creatures can be fired. The judge is a partisan hack.

Sending my thoughts and prayers!

Nune is another smarty highly appreciated in the Trump swamp got lectured by a federal judge.

Nunes should go back to milking cows!

Another one of the corrupt congressman at the heart of the Ukrainian bribery scandal. A real gangerster using threats and intimidation against witnesses. He is another who should be in jail.

DevinNunes did you really think you would win ? Could win ? 😂

DevinNunes Looks like you might be getting a whole lot more of these in the future Dev

Steve Biss (Devin Nunes attorney) should stay away from the judge that accused him of copy and paste to write his complaint: 'The Amended Complaint includes many rote statements of law and conclusory allegations which fall short of satisfying the pleading standard.'

You mean corrupt court?

gtconway3d And voters will soon dump Nunes

TimInHonolulu Finally, got you Nunez! Hope the cow and his relatives win too.

Great news!

DevinNunes

Fake news. At all times relevant to the lawsuit, Devin Nunes was not the chair of the committee.

DevinNunesIsAnIdiot

Former House Committee Chair?

TimInHonolulu Is this all a launder money through lawsuits scheme?

gtconway3d

And who appointed that Federal judge?

How can he afford all these lawsuits?

He’s gonna have a cow when he hears this. nunescow

No decency at all 😎

“... O'Grady said he'd allow a revised version of the suit to be re-filed within 30 days, but he said that should only happen if Nunes can craft a complaint that doesn't violate a federal rule against court filings that are frivolous or unsupported by evidence....”.

Oh DevinNunes...

Strait to the litter box.

Snitching ass Nunes ! Glad lawsuit was dismissed

DevinNunes ain't the smartest. He tries hard though.

Someone has some nuts!!! I would have charged and sentenced you for filing a false report.

Russia wants to repeat its genocidal starvation campaign that killed more than 3.9 million Ukrainians. Russia wants to give genocide another try. PutinPuppet Trump withheld aid for reelection and to help Russia. FEC identified 22 GOP lawmakers who received Fruman's Russian money

Who’s funding all of Nunes’ lawsuits?

Hahahhahahhahahahahahahahahha

My favorite line: '... he said that should only happen if Nunes can craft a complaint that doesn't violate a federal rule against court filings that are frivolous or unsupported by evidence.' ❤️

👏🏻👏🏻😂😂

Booooooooo

Not 🪑

Every lawsuit this fool has filed will be dismissed. Talk about misusing the system.

Who's footing the bill for all these frivolous lawsuits by the Nunz?

What a silly game.

Back to Q undergrad for this pathetic shill.

Appeal?

Racketeering? China.

gtconway3d He's not the chair

MicheleJeanson1 Don’t worry Devin, your Prince Don the Con will get you refunded for your fantasy law suit.

Nunes believes he is a persecuted victim. Just because he did not win by as many votes as previously.

gtconway3d HOORAY! And ROFL!

All of his stupid slapp suits should be instantaneously tossed out. It’s a flaw in our system that this is legal in any state.

gtconway3d So can we throw out Nunes too?

SheWhoRises

Go cow! DevinNunes Mmmmmmmmoooooooooooooo Oh, hi DevinNunes !

DevinNunes 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂LOSER!!!!! AGAIN🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

gtconway3d Nunes is a BIG looser.

gtconway3d so much winning, moo cow you must be getting sick of it

Acting like a big boy before your balls have dropped is just plain silly !

gtconway3d Has this guy ever filed a legitimate lawsuit?

gtconway3d Moooo!

gtconway3d Of course. It’s garbage and a waste of time like Nunes.

Of course they did, they’re democrats.

And why racketeering? Really isn’t what the racketeering law was meant for. Maybe if there was anything at all and it was pursued correctly might get somewhere.

DevinNunes L.O.S.E.R ZERO WINS .. EVER. Hopefully CHARGES pending.. (word IS charges pending)...
