House Intelligence Committee ranking member Devin Nunes filed a $150 million lawsuit in Virginia state court against The McClatchy Company and others on Monday, alleging that one of the news agency's reporters conspired with a political operative to derail Nunes' oversight work into the Hillary Clinton campaign and Russian election interference.
The filing, obtained by Fox News, came a day after Nunes, R-Calif., revealed he would send eight criminal referrals to the Justice Department this week concerning purported surveillance abuses by federal authorities, false statements to Congress and other matter
In March, Nunes filed a similar $250 million lawsuit alleging defamation against Twitter and one of its users, Republican consultant Liz Mair. In Monday's complaint, Nunes again named Mair as a co-defendant, charging this time that she conspired with McClatchy reporter MacKenzie Mays to spread a variety of untruthful and misleading smears including that Nunes "was involved with cocaine and underage prostitutes" online and in print.
Reached for comment late Monday, Mair directed Fox News to a USA Today op-ed she penned earlier this week concerning Nunes' previous lawsuit entitled, "Free speech means I don't have to be nice to Devin Nunes on Twitter. So why's he suing me?"

That and a $250 million dollar lawsuit against Twitter. Little Devin's hoping for a big payday.

(868 posts)I mean isn't what nunes charges just a parody of what he himself did while chairperson?
Didn't he defraud the government?
I know he broke his sworn oath as an elected official.
For that alone he should be disbarred.
What a sniveling little whine ass that believes that the world is out to get him
just because he is a sniveling little traitorous little whine ass.
