In these grim times pandemic spreading, markets crashing, society shutting down it seems there is nowhere we can turn for good news.
But there is! Devin Nunes, bless his heart, is still filing lawsuits. The top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee has, aided by a lawyer with a colorful past and a flair for invective, sued just about everybody who criticizes him.
Including, just this month, The Washington Post. Phew! I was beginning to feel left out. (That was a joke, Congressman; please do not sue me.)
To be specific, Nunes has sued:
McClatchy. CNN. Hearst Magazines. Fusion GPS. Republican strategist Liz Mair. A watchdog group, Campaign for Accountability. An organic fruit farmer who called Nunes a fake farmer. Twitter. A parody Twitter account called Devin Nunes Mom. A fictitious bovine on Twitter called Devin Nunes Cow. (Like Devin Nunes Mom, Devin Nunes Cow engaged in a defamation campaign, he alleged in court.)
