BREAKING: Devin Nunes To Take Swift Legal Action Against CNN For ‘Demonstrably False’ Story

He'll never file that lawsuit. He would be deposed under oath by CNN's attorneys. This is a bullshit threat.

1. yeah, let's see him prove he didn't take that trip

at taxpayer expense.

Dumbass.

[NCLefty]

2. This is what Trump would do. They are all Trump now.

[edhopper]

35. And then Trump

loses every lawsuit he files.

[DanieRains]

3. Prosecute Him

ASAP

[SunSeeker]

4. Let the depositions begin!

[greyl]

6. Nunes will be gutted. nt

[Rstrstx]

5. Darn, I fully expected to open this thread and find a story about..

..Devin Nunes' cow.

[EveHammond13]

7. go for it, asswipe

[Skidmore]

8. $63k

MacMahon did not say the meetings were specifically related to Russia but confirmed they were part of Nunes’ investigative work. The meetings took place as the then-chairman of the House Intelligence Committee led an investigation into the origins of former special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.

Nunes’ aide Derek Harvey participated in the meetings, MacMahon told the outlet. Congressional records show that Nunes and three aides traveled to Europe in November of last year at a cost of $63,000 to taxpayers.

28. Clearly, Nunes was milking it.

First class flights to Europe on our dime. He should be in cattle class.

[scardycat]

9. Nunes is sue happy. He sues everybody and everything. N/t

[DFW]

10. If Nunes goes ahead with this

He will have to testify under oath and be grilled by CNN's very media law-savvy attorneys. Nunes then either withdraws the suit or imitates a particularly Republican form of rodent: the tailless squirm.

[Scarsdale]

11. I would LOVE to see

someone throw a large cow pie at his ugly mug. These gop members are so dense, they must think we do not read about their escapades. Obviously they think anything goes. Are they expecting dear leader to be in office for the rest of his life? The gop acts as though they can do as they please, no restrictions apply. Nunes is SO incompetent, how is he still in office?

[DFW]

15. The Germans have a great two word expression for people like Nunes

"Frechheit siegt." Difficult to translate precisely, it basically means the more outlandish you dare to be, the more you get away with it (the name "Trump" comes to mind). It only stops when a significant number of people say, "ENOUGH!"

[Scarsdale]

16. tRump obviously

is the personification of that expression. He is SO "out there" as to be exasperating. Are there any intelligent people in the gop, or are they all as unhinged as tRump?

[DFW]

17. There are plenty of intelligent people in the GOP.

Evil isn't always stupid. Machiavelli was intelligent. Stalin was intelligent. Mao was intelligent. For that matter, Frank Luntz and Mitch McConnell are intelligent. Some intelligent people, especially those not burdened with a conscience, see their intelligence as a means to acquire power and/or wealth. To some, power is the greater trip, and they keep their wealth in the background.

The big difference is that Democrats see education of the masses as an asset. Republicans see the ignorance of the masses as an asset. That is why they have Fox "News" and we have MSNBC.

[tavernier]

21. Beautifully put.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

31. "Backpfeifengesicht" applies also.

[DFW]

37. In his case?

Definitely!

[VOX]

12. HAH! Fox News spews out "demonstrably false stories" all day, every day.

So, by Nunes’ example, Democrats should sue Fox in perpetuity. And retroactively!

[get the red out]

13. Bad idea

He will throw that shit of his right to forefront!

[B Stieg]

14. And I continue to support the COW!

Nunez the Traitor is hearing footsteps...

[muriel_volestrangler]

18. Since, as the Daily Wire story points out, CNN asked him for comment before publishing

and he replied he would never talk to them abut anything, he'll have no chance of showing they were reckless or malicious. They got a story, asked him about it, and he did nothing to deny it or tell them not to publish.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

33. He's a public figure and therefore would have to prove actual malice,

which is the publication of a statement with knowledge of its falsity or reckless disregard for its accuracy. Noooones probably has never read NY Times v. Sullivan, but his lawyers have.

[Squinch]

19. Bring it, Cow Patty!

[spanone]

20. Suing the media? They REPORTED what Parnas said. Go for it, nunes...waste your money

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

22. Isn't he already suing the cow?

His lawyer's going to be busy.

[tblue37]

30. He's also suing Republican operative Liz Mair for @devinnunesmom. nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

39. I hope his lawyer is getting paid up front, and by the hour.

Otherwise he'll have a tough time collecting fees for what will be an enormous amount of ultimately fruitless work.

[BootinUp]

23. His attorney will be able to visit him

And discuss his ongoing frivolous suits even after he is locked up.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

24. evidence so far indicates that this is a cowshit threat, not a bullshit threat

[smirkymonkey]

25. God, he is such a loser.

[magicarpet]

38. Boo,.. litigation...

[dewsgirl]

26. I hope this blows up in his face and discovery takes him down.

[bluestarone]

27. I would UTTERLY love it if he sued

Time we learned EVERYTHING about MOOOOO MAN

[gibraltar72]

29. Please do.

[jeffreyi]

32. Mooooo

[Mike 03]

34. "Demonstrably false" is Republican for "You've caught me dead to rights."

I noticed Giuliani used that phrase the other day. Just more bullshit from the bullshit experts.

[GoCubsGo]

36. Please proceed, Congressman.

We look forward to the discovery process. I hope the judge makes you pay the court costs after you lose.

[StarfishSaver]

40. How is saying that Parnas' lawyer says he's going to do something?

Did the lawyer say it?
Yes

Case dismissed.

[ThoughtCriminal]

41. He will never go beyond threats. One word...

"Discovery"

The threat is just fluffery for his base.

[Brother Buzz]

42. That was then this is now

Didn't the State Department's Friday document dump kinda corroborate what Lev Parnas' attorney was saying?

Devin Nunes is totally screwed. Hell, I would not be surprised if Nunes' Uber driver is called as a witness at some point.

[we can do it]

43. Please proceed.
