Devin Nunes is finally showing some spine that the rest of worthless Republicans never do. Nunes has filed a $150 million lawsuit against liberal media hack organization McClatchy alleging they conspired with a political operative to derail Nunes’ oversight work into the Hillary Clinton campaign and Russian election interference. The liberal media and Democrats will now circle the wagons and smear Nunes. Look for a lot of “dairy farmer” insults to start flying from the media.

House Intelligence Committee ranking member Devin Nunes filed a $150 million lawsuit in Virginia state court against The McClatchy Company and others on Monday, alleging that one of the news agency’s reporters conspired with a political operative to derail Nunes’ oversight work into the Hillary Clinton campaign and Russian election interference.
The filing, obtained by Fox News, came a day after Nunes, R-Calif., revealed he would send eight criminal referrals to the Justice Department this week concerning purported surveillance abuses by federal authorities during the Russia probe, false statements to Congress and other matters.
In March, Nunes filed a similar $250 million lawsuit alleging defamation against Twitter and one of its users, Republican consultant Liz Mair. In Monday’s complaint, Nunes again named Mair as a co-defendant, charging this time that she conspired with McClatchy reporter MacKenzie Mays to spread a variety of untruthful and misleading smears — including that Nunes “was involved with cocaine and underage prostitutes” — online and in print.
Nunes’ complaint acknowledged the sensitivity of filing a defamation and conspiracy lawsuit against journalists but went on to allege that the defendants had “abandoned the role of journalist, and chose to leverage their considerable power to spread falsehoods and to defame” Nunes for “political and financial gain.”
