Congressman Devin Nunes is suing NBC, claiming Rachel Maddow defamed him on her MSNBC show

[THE_DEVIL]

Say what you want about RM she is smart and will have some very good lawyers that will end up getting Nunes to cry in the discovery phase of litigation. For ****s sake he lost to a fake cow in court already.

Sorry, Devin, but you're a public figure and Maddow has free speech rights. How is the cow lawsuit coming along?

The discovery phase in that lawsuit, assuming he does not drop it beforehand, will be amazing.

He lost his defamation suit to the cow.

He’s likely going to lose bigly - and if he doesn’t, the case will fundamentally change political journalism.

 

[SoMplsHawkI]

Consistently on brand.

It will drop before discovery. The point of the lawsuit is the headlines today, and the grievances later about the crooked court system, and the ‘Lyin Lib media they protect.

Devin Nunes finding the person who defamed him.

The suit specifically takes issue with statements made by Maddow during her show on March 18, during which she suggested that Nunes refused to turn over a package he had reportedly received from the suspected Russian agent to the FBI.

“Congressman Nunes has refused to answer questions about what he received from Andriy Derkach. He has refused to show the contents of the package to other members of the intelligence community," the lawsuit quotes Maddow as saying on her program. "He has refused to hand it over to the FBI which is what you should do if you get something from somebody who is sanctioned by the U.S. as a Russian agent.”

Nunes and his attorneys claim that the network knew that the California lawmaker had told other reporters that he had given the package in question to the FBI and MSNBC failed to ask him for a comment.

Imagine if he would win.

That would be a death sentence

to all show from 7-10 on CNN, FOX, and MSNBC

Not to mention some daytime shows like Joy Reid.

In a way, it might help tone down the hate in the United States.

I don't think he will win

Nole Nat will have to go it alone until Nat Algren clocks in today. This thread has real Nat possibilities.

Russia was mentioned so the Nat signal is definitely flashing.

The algorithm stuffed it into his in box already. All that awaits is the 27 paragraph long response that neither affirms the point he is trying to make, or is relevant.

I was gonna say it's impossible to defame Nunes but if anybody can do it, it would be Nunes.

It's mooooooooooooo-ving right along, though some say that it is udder-ly ridiculous.

Rachel has been lying and defaming people for a lot of years now. She’s very good at getting away with it. No way this dude gets a W.

 

[BubsFinn]

The precedent has already been set. Maddow is free to lie all she wants on her program because her viewer knows what she says probably isn’t true. The court has already ruled on this.

Yes. Same with Tucker. Cable news.

 

[BelemNole]

Oh look, another lawsuit by Nunes that he is bound to lose. Anyone keeping track on how many this will make?

 

[stfudonny]

Where does Nunes get the money for all these frivolous lawsuits? His attorney has already been sanctioned for filing a complaint in "bad faith". https://www.fresnobee.com/news/politics-government/article250372396.html

What a microphallic little man. This guy was elected to Congress? You Cons must be so proud.
