Can't wait for the fact-check discovery on this one!
By Frances Langum
Whiny litigious baby Devin Nunes, Republican of California, is suing Rachel Maddow. Bloomberg reports what Devin Nunes is paying attorneys to say. Really.
"'MSNBC and Maddow harbor an institutional hostility, hatred, extreme bias, spite and ill-will towards plaintiff due to plaintiffs emergence as the most prominent skeptic in Congress of Maddows marquee news narrative from 2017 to 2019: that the Trump campaign colluded with Russians to hack the 2016 presidential elections,' Nunes lawyers said in the complaint."
Wow, if this case goes anywhere (it won't), we can't wait for Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama to use Devin Nune's "precedent" to go after Fox hosts, personally, as well as the entire network.

So he uses Texas as the place to file the suit, thinking that the right wing courts will give it to him, while he lives and has his residency California....man is he missing a oar in the water...

(33,643 posts)Nothing they did (well, that could be proven) was judged by prosecutors to be outright illegal, but 'collusion' is not the name of a crime to begin with.
1) Junior meeting with a Russian who promised 'dirt on HRC', which he knew to be part of the 'Russian Government's support' for TFG's campaign.
2) Manafort giving polling data to Russia (though arguably there's little or no proof TFG's people knew this was happening, and may've been entirely his own deal),
3) Trump lackey Roger Stone colluding with Wikileaks to distribute 'dirt on HRC' and other Dems, originally stolen by Russian hackers (though the evidence Stone knew 'Russia' was the source of said info is thin, he still knew it was stolen).
I've maintained since the beginning that the 'dirt' from #1 above is one and the same with the 'dirt' from #3, and that it's likely an agreement was reached at Trump Tower that this info was not going to physically change hands at a meeting, but that it would be 'released' in a way permitting 'plausible deniability' i.e. via DCLeaks (run by Guccifer 2.0), who later sold the info to Wikileaks.
AND that Junior offered concessions to the Russian re: the infamous Sanctions if Trump was elected, in exchange for them helping the campaign.
But nobody admitted to it ... yet.
