#LOLsuit alert! On Monday April 3, #DevinNunesIsAnIdiot filed yet ANOTHER defamation suit in yet another venue. This time he’s suing The @guardian (but not author @hugolowell), reporter Chris Anderson (but not Sarasota @HeraldTribune), @PenskeMedia for @Variety + 😗 blower… /1
… Will Wilkerson who was the source for most of the original @hugolowell story.

While it’s a typical no-there-there Devinfamation LOLsuit, it’s somewhat less deranged than his earlier work. He accuses everyone of inventing their reporting out of whole cloth to harm him… /2
… yet refrains from throwing feces within the suit itself. Sure there isn’t a single bit of support for any of his assertions, + of course he claims any suggestion he laundered Russian money was so outrageous as to be impossible, + ok he boasts he’s the APEX OFFICER… /3
…+ literal face of Trump Media + Technology Group, which is literally named for SOMEBODY ELSE, the DFG who owns 90% of it + is the only user whose posts on Truth Social are ever publicized in legit reporting. Yes, what we expect from #DevinNunesIsAnIdiot. But this LOLsuit… /4
…actually shows a teensy amount of growth and change from #BadAttorneyBiss. While there’s no substance to his arguments, there is reference to case law. Lots + lots of case law. With quotes purportedly from the cases (no I didn’t check if they were accurate or relevant)… /5
…added inline into the complaint instead of in footnotes. There’s only one footnote and it’s a doozy. It literally is attached to Devin’s ridiculous claim that L’état c’est moi; Devin claims HE is synonymous with TMTG. The footnote does not appear to support the argument. /6 Image
There’s another example of growth + change in this LOLsuit; they aren’t pasting in tweets as if the filing were a listicle. There’s plenty of alleged mean tweets but they’re referenced with links + the text.

Including this one swiping at @DevinCow 🐮 + @NunesAlt 👩‍👦‍👦. /7 Image
Yet more improvement from Nunes and Biss; they didn’t ask for a million billion skillion dollars. They asked for whatever the jury would award plus interest going back to this March.

I know what the jury would award him (not that this nonsense would ever see one). /8
So here’s the LOLsuit in all it’s Not As Bad As Some Of His Others glory.

Remember that #DevinNunesIsAnIdiot is a horrid person who files performative grievance rants to harass his critics.

Remember to ask #WhoFundsDevinsLawsuits cuz it’s not him

This is an absolutely amazing story and of course Devin makes a couple of appearances. In this thread, the author mentions defamation in a non-Nunes context. Read @drewharwell thread then follow mine here for Devin specific content and I’ll drop a gift link to the story! 1/11
Here is gift link to story. While it covers a lot of new info about Trump Media + Technology Group, Truth Social (which it owns) + the Digital World SPAC deal, it doesn’t mention that weird event where Trump, his son and Kashyap all quit the board. 2/11

wapo.st/3rZLMTq
Here is the story about them cutting and running from the Board, which is no doubt related to the TWO investigations, SEC + SDNY (federal). The investigations are mentioned in the WaPo story but not this! Goes to consciousness of guilt. 3/11

This. As a pile of terrible defamation lawsuits, I know this is why I even exist. I’m not a legitimate use of the legal system. I’m a bludgeon used by cynical, dishonest bullies. 🏏🔨🏒🥍🪧🗃🗃🗃

@DevinCow @mohndo00 @PhilArballo2020 @verified @LizMair @NunesAlt @RyanLizza @Hearst @CNN Here's the full list

1. Cowlifornia suit against several of his own cownstituents for calling him a #FakeFarmer. He called himself a farmer on the ballot description+ they pointed out he didn't have a farm.

Suit withdrawn by Devin, probably due to strong CA anti-SLAPP laws

/1
@DevinCow @mohndo00 @PhilArballo2020 @verified @LizMair @NunesAlt @RyanLizza @Hearst @CNN 2. Suit against @Twitter, @DevinCow, @NunesAlt + @LizMair, filed in VA.

Twitter removed from suit, Devin attempted to re-add them, judge told him to cut it out. Now says he'll appeal Twitter's removal. Suit still exists against other 3 but he can't identify Cow + Mom.

/2
@DevinCow @mohndo00 @PhilArballo2020 @verified @LizMair @NunesAlt @RyanLizza @Hearst @CNN @Twitter 3. Suit against @mcclatchy @FresnoBee + @LizMair (again), filed in VA (different county). The #YachtCocaineProstitutes case. Devin sued CA corp owning CA newspaper for story about CA winery hiring CA yacht w/CA hos, CA employee of winery sued in CA over treatment on yacht.

Hooray! @FresnoBee journalist @kateirby finally asks question everyone writing about #DevinNunesIsAnIdiot's lawsuits should be:
#WhoFundsDevinsLawsuits? He doesn't have own $, his campaign isn't filing it, he has no legal defend fund. Ethics violation? /1 amp.fresnobee.com/news/local/art…
This article is a good look at what possibilities there are for #WhoFundsDevinsLawsuits, a hashtag I invite everyone to use whenever #DevinNunesIsAnIdiot is mentioned.

1. He's funding them: with what money?
2. He has a benefactor: then he must declare it + he hasn't

/2
3. Contingency suits: possible but defamation rarely taken on contingency. They're expensive + hard to win, even harder for public figure.

Counterargument: Attorney Steven Biss has made a habit of suing on behalf of aggrieved Republicans vs media.

Not mentioned in article:

I’ve got some #DevinNunes lawsuit news, + if you live for that you should be following @kateirby at @FresnoBee! Here’s her story on Nunes’ former aide #KashyapPatel’s suit against @politico and @NatashaBertrand. $25M defamation, same lawyer as Nunes’ suits
fresnobee.com/news/local/art…
There’s lot of great detail in Irby’s piece, including that Kashyap “Kash” Patel is ***the author of the infamous “Nunes Memo”***. That shouldn’t surprise anyone that #DevinNunes, notorious for not reading any materials, couldn’t have written a conclusion on what they said.
This earlier tweet links to the @foxnews piece that first alerted Irby to the Patel lawsuit. Plenty to ruminate over in both pieces.

Like the pointless Nunes suits, they’re filed in VA despite the lack of a connection to any of the parties. Little on legal merit, plenty bombast.
