Last month, for reasons that still don’t make a lot of sense, Rep. Devin Nunes filed a lawsuit against Twitter and some of the platform’s users, seeking more than $250 million, in part because the Republican saw tweets that hurt his feelings. The practical effects were immediate: a satirical Twitter feed called “Devin Nunes’ Cow” went from relative obscurity to over 600,000 followers thanks entirely to the congressman’s litigation.
The defamation lawsuit seeks $150 million and the deletion of an article in The Fresno Bee, a McClatchy newspaper, about Alpha Omega Winery, a company that Mr. Nunes partially owns. The article, published last May, described a lawsuit by a server who was aboard a San Francisco Bay cruise in 2015 attended by some of the winery’s top investors, which she said included drugs and prostitution.
Only the congressman and his lawyers know for sure, but as we discussed after he filed his first case a month ago, I suspect it’s part of a misguided political game: in the coming weeks and months, Nunes will be able to send out fundraising appeals, bragging about being the one member brave enough to take on a dastardly newspaper and Twitter at the same time. We’ll likely see him heralded in conservative media and applauded at far-right gatherings.
MaddowBlog Fake News hates to see this coming.
MaddowBlog No bar too low.
MaddowBlog Toss out, self inflected wounds.
MaddowBlog Does this dumbass know that not only can he depose them under oath, but they can do the same thing to him as well and make it public?
MaddowBlog Wow, we can tell your bias by your use of 'unfortunate'.
MaddowBlog Looks like you media dopes have come to the end of the rope when it comes to saying anything you want or make up any story to fit you own selfish needs.I hope this kind of stuff chokes the air you breath to make you start tell the truth.Oh wait!! Donald Trump is a Russian spy? No

MaddowBlog Great Job Mr. Nunes. TRUMP2020
MaddowBlog Another frivolous lawsuit
MaddowBlog Here's how you don't get sued: 1. Report facts. 2. Leave opinions at the door. 3. See step 1.
MaddowBlog Nunes is a useless representative he has no idea what his constituents want (we want him out as our congressman)
MaddowBlog So a newspaper chain that serves more than 30 markets, with 65 million monthly readers is now a 'local newspaper?' The left does nothing but lie. They have to, because their entire platform is bullshit.

MaddowBlog If Nunes really wants people to stop making fun of him, all he has to do is to stop acting like an A***h***. It would be easier, quicker and cheaper and do far more to enhance his reputation.
MaddowBlog McClatchy is a national liberal rag. Why would you call it a local paper? I would think even your sheep know that much.
MaddowBlog Must be getting close to something if he’s becomes target.
MaddowBlog DELIRIOUS MADDOW. Unfortunate? NOT. Rep. Nunes has & still is doing a Great Service to the American People. He's been Vilified by Anti-America, Anti-Trumpers for the past 2 yrs because he has taken on Democrat Criminals at the Highest levels of Govt including those out of Govt.
