Judge rules against Devin Nunes in $9.9 million lawsuit over the salacious Steele Dossier

Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) suffered a legal setback after losing a major lawsuit he had filed.

“A federal judge has tossed out a racketeering lawsuit House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes filed last year against the private investigation firm at the heart of the Trump-Russia saga,” Politico reported Friday evening.

“Alexandria, Virginia-based U.S. District Court Judge Liam O’Grady’s two-page order made short work of Nunes’ suit, which sought $9.9 million in damages from Fusion GPS, its founder Glenn Simpson and a nonprofit watchdog group, Campaign for Accountability,” Politico explained.
`“The judge also signaled that pressing on with the legal battle could result in sanctions against Nunes and his attorney, Steven Biss.”

Ahaa!
now Nunes suing the Post;

Now Devin Nunes says he is suing the Washington Post over a story he claims is false...
At the end, he complains “who is leaking this if it’s true”

Devin Nunes seems more concerned about the leaks than the Russian interference
It really doesn’t help his lawsuit if he claims the story is false and complain about the leaks that led to the story.

Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) lost another of his efforts to sue the media.

According to the filing, this suit was against Ryan Lizza, who wrote an expose on Nunes’ family moving their family farm from Nunes’ district in California to Iowa.

Nunes, who has claimed his occupation as a “dairy farmer” was outed for not having a dairy farm just months before the 2018 election.
Nunes was quick to sue, as he has with Twitter accounts who mock him online for being a “farmer” without having a farm.

According to the filing, the case has been dismissed by Judge C.J. Williams, who granted Lizza’s motion.

Ironically, Williams was an appointee of President Donald Trump.

This is the second case that Nunes has lost. The previous one was Nunes’ attempt to sue Fusion GPS, the research firm allegedly behind Christopher Steele’s salacious dossier.
