Devin Nunes’ Lawsuit Against Twitter Could Turn Into The Company’s Worst Nightmare
The Federalist ^ | 10/08/2019 | Sean Davis

Posted on 10/08/2019 8:10:17 PM PDT by Kevin in California

When Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., sued Twitter in Virginia court in March for negligence over multiple cases of defamation and impersonation by the social media giant’s users, he was mocked and laughed at for thinking his case would accomplish anything. But following a Virginia judge’s ruling last week that Nunes’ suit could proceed to trial in the Old Dominion, it may be Nunes who gets the last laugh.

Nunes, who was first elected to Congress 2002, rose to prominence following the 2016 election as the chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI). With Nunes leading the charge to investigate the origins of the allegations of treasonous Russian collusion against President Donald Trump and his political campaign, the collusion narrative was rapidly shown to be a false fabrication bought and paid for by the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee. As HPSCI chair, it was Nunes who forced Fusion GPS to disclose that its hiring of Christopher Steele, a foreign spy, to collude with foreign officials to manufacture and spread dirt on Trump and his associates was in fact funded by Team Clinton. It was Nunes who forced the declassification and release of key spy warrants that showed the FBI and Department of Justice fed false allegations to federal spy courts in order to justify spying on Trump campaign affiliates.

You nailed it with the NEA and the rest of the Bill Ayers worshipping teachers’ unions.

Bust those up and in a couple of generations, America will come back.

If you’re wondering how Nunes can be from California and be sane; he comes from a farm family.

Rather than comply with the court order, Twitter gave the judge the middle finger and refused to provide the information demanded by the court. The judge responded by allowing the trial against Twitter to proceed in Virginia, a move that could wreak havoc not just on Twitter’s bottom line going forward, but also its entire business model. As a result of Marshall’s order, the case will now proceed to trial, and Twitter will be subject to full-blown discovery by Nunes and his legal team.

Given recent congressional testimony by Twitter founder and CEO Jack Dorsey that the social media publisher is not politically biased and “does not use political ideology to make any decisions” about content, the discovery phase might well put Dorsey himself in legal peril.

I hope it turns into a nightmare because it needs to be cleaned up. I have heard that Satan takes what is good and corrupts it through manipulation and lies. I have been on Twitter a few times. For every decent and uplifting tweet, there are many more which are nasty and ugly from people who know nothing but how to insult others who have different views. I do not have time for that.

We are very lucky to have someone like Congressman Nunes. He is a strong statesman. We have so few of those.

Congressman Nunes is to be admired for everything he has done.

Amen and a bttt to that!!!! If this nation survives as the republic intended, Nunes and Trump will go down in history as national heroes.

Suppressing the simple truth about Moslem activities makes Facebook a terrorist organization. You and others are just victims of “electronic beheading”, a brilliant term I’ve seen used here on FR that fits perfectly.
