FOX:
Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., filed a $9.9 million federal conspiracy lawsuit on Wednesday alleging that the opposition research firm behind the anti-Trump Steele dossier coordinated with another group to file several fraudulent and harassing ethics complaints intended to derail his investigation.
The complaint in the Eastern District of Virginia, which named Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson and the nonprofit Campaign for Accountability (CfA), said the “smear” tactics kicked into action shortly after Simpson “lied” in his closed-door testimony before the House Intelligence Committee in November 2017, as well as before the Senate Judiciary Committee in August 2017.
Fusion GPS and CfA’s “racketeering activities,” Nunes alleged, were “part of a joint and systematic effort to intimidate, harass, threaten, influence, interfere with, impede, and ultimately to derail” Republican investigators.
In a statement to Fox News on Thursday, CfA Executive Director Daniel Stevens called Nunes’ allegations a “ridiculous” attempt to “muddy the waters by attacking an independent watchdog group.”
“CfA’s ethics complaints detail how Devin Nunes apparently leaked confidential information and failed to disclose his personal finances as required by law.,” Stevens said. “Since Nunes can’t explain away these ethical lapses, he has resorted to filing poorly drafted lawsuits to deflect attention.”
The lawsuit was the latest in a string of filings by Nunes this year, including a $250 million defamation complaint that named Twitter as a defendant and a $150 million complaint against the news organization McClatchy. Courts have not yet ruled on the merits of those complaints.
“I was often smeared,” Nunes told Fox News’ “Hannity” on Wednesday night. “And now, what we know is, there’s a link between those who were doing the smearing and Fusion GPS.”
Nunes added: “When we were investigating Fusion GPS, they were actively involved in working to smear me to obstruct justice, to derail our investigation — and so, I’m gonna hold these guys accountable, and this is just one of many steps we’re gonna continue to take.” read more
And the Covington kids will be billionaires cuz so and so famous attorney is suing the Washington Post for a bajillion dollars.
And they’ll settle too! Tik tok tik tok.
Until the case gets thrown out on its ear.
Public figures have different standards.
This should be a congressional investigation into the link betwern Fusion and not a get rich quick scheme by Nunes.
No standing.
Its a waste of time, because finding a honest Judge in the US could be a real challenge.
