The Republican Party scandal: Devin Nunes And His Grim Political Situation

The Fresno Bee called out Rep. Nunes (R-CA) for filing frivolous lawsuits while being investigated for his Ukraine errands for Trump.

The Editorial Board of The Bee wrote:

Given the frivolous nature of Nunes’ lawsuits, one can easily draw the conclusion that he’s trying to chill free speech by miring his critics in expensive legal proceedings. If that’s the idea, it’s not working. Twitter accounts continue to mock him and the press continues to report on his increasingly grim situation.

sorry to say, who's used a bunch of "frivolous"* lawsuits as lies against the opponent and then dropped them all after the press has moved on and before evidence has to be provided.

*Need another word for this very dirty tactic.
