yeah that's the ticket

what? He's named in the impeachment report as a co-conspirator (my words) and he's suing CNN for accusing him of being a co-conspirator (my words) Boy he's taken lessons from the sociopath-in-chief himself..

funds when it comes to half baked lawsuits.

Fuck him and the cow he rode in on.

Whether true or not, Parnas implicating Nunes is legitimate news. He should sue Parnas, I guess.

Does he keep a database of lawsuits? How can he remember which is which?

See: Sullivan v. New York Times:

New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, 376 U.S. 254 (1964), was a landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in which the Court ruled that the freedom of speech protections in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution restrict the ability of American public officials to sue for defamation.

You have a better chance of winning those suits...

Devin Nunes is what would happen if someone tried to make stupid from concentrate, but forgot to add water. - Middle Age Riot

No way will he be deposed under oath.

Lol,

narrative out of Nunes control.

CNN is the aggressor here.
No, the best bet might simply be to let Nunes screw this up on his own.

can request documents he might not want revealed especially if they open him up to criminal charges.

By CNN lawyers right? What an idiot.

His passport was stamped as he entered Ukraine.

Did he sue all the Cows too?

the website called "Devin Nunes' Mom." What a buffoon.

Welcome to DU, QualTest !

Here is a link to the petition https://www.courthousenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/nunes-cnn.pdf This is a strange petition. It has a two page discussion of Nunes as a party including his history and references to a book he wrote. There are a large number of twitter posts in this petition

I have not seen a petition like this

He specializes in suing media outlets for defamation on behalf of right-wing clients - notwithstanding NY Times v. Sullivan - SLAPP suits, maybe? He's been suspended twice, once for a year (https://www.vsb.org/docs/Biss_11-26-08.final.pdf) and once for 30 days for violating the terms of his suspension, and was also reprimanded for violating conflict of interest rules. https://www.fresnobee.com/news/politics-government/politics-columns-blogs/article229024314.html

That is truly the weirdest complaint I've ever seen that was produced by an actual lawyer. You'd expect to see something like that from a pro se plaintiff who's suing the government for spying on him through radio transmitters in his fillings.

I agree that this petition looks like it was drafted by a lay person. The concept that you spend two pages describing Nunes in the parties section of the pleading is a dead giveaway that a non-lawyer wrote part of this petition.

Yes, I know that the so-called lawyer in this case has been suspended. This idiot committed some sort of securities fraud which should have gotten him jail time. Given the quality of his work product, this guy should be disbarred

It has been my experience that federal judges are not tolerant of this type of lawsuit

and signed his name, kind of like Trump's goofy doctor signed his name to that letter attesting to Trump's spectacularly good health - a letter that, it turns out, Trump dictated. I expect to hear that this lawyer might be in trouble again over this; at least, he ought to be. A judge would cut a pro se party a little slack but any lawyer who signs his name to this sort of dreck is just asking for an ass-kicking.

Nunes would have been better off filing pro se just like Carter Page did in his lawsuit against the DNC and Marc Elias.

Any DU lawyers want to explain how this works? I thought the state and federal law systems were separate.

The other lawsuits filed against the fictional cow and twitter are evidently in Virginia state court and the judge in these cases has not dismissed these cases. Federal judges are not going to be as tolerant

Let the discovery begin. Care to testify under oath Mr. Nunes?
