Court dumps Nunes' suit against Trump dossier firm

images

Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA).

2/21/20
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. Alexandria, Virginia-based U.S. District Court Judge Liam O'Grady's two-page order issued Friday 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.
The judge also signaled that pressing on with the legal battle could result in sanctions against Nunes and his attorney, Steven Biss.

In other words, don't you dare file another nuisance lawsuit about this.
 
Good. That thin-skinned clown loves SLAPP suits, just like his lord and master.
 
As Gabriel Heatter used to open his radio broadcast ..... There's good news tonight.

He says, in a thread about a SLAPP suit getting thrown out, along with threats to impose sanctions on both plaintiff and his attorney....



No, they do not always work. But when they do, they're a very bad thing.

They do their damage, which is why used. As shown in the Nunes caper, it can go a long way before a judge shuts it down, doing plenty enough nuisance along the way that is damage enough. The suit doesn't have to "win" to "work". Trump was famous for using lawsuits or forcing others to go through hell to have to file one to get what was due them.

It's funny how different publications have different views on the same subject ...


"Rep. Devin Nunes vowed to expand his lawsuit against Fusion GPS on Saturday, a day after a federal court dismissed the California Republican’s racketeering conspiracy case against the opposition research firm.

The judge gave the ranking member on the House Intelligence Committee 30 days to file another amended complaint.

“Congressman Nunes is pleased that the Court has granted him the opportunity to clarify and amplify the long history and pattern of obstruction by Fusion GPS,” Nunes’s lawyer Steven Biss told the Washington Examiner. “We have plenty of supplementary evidence to add to our filing, including ongoing examples of Fusion’s malfeasance.”

In other words, lawsuit continues ... :lol:
 
Should the House move forward to establish their authority over even the chief magistrate of the Union with the judiciary?

Nothing complicated about it. When you read a conservative rag, you'll get a pro-Nunes article.
The 'echo-chamber' effect.

Not quite ... :lol:

OP's article states an interpretation ... "The judge also signaled that pressing on with the legal battle could result in sanctions against Nunes and his attorney"

while my link states an actual fact ... "The judge gave the ranking member on the House Intelligence Committee 30 days to file another amended complaint."


Liberal rags are incapable of stating just the facts.

Barnacle, you're making the same mistake you made in the "Rush calls Covid-19 the common cold" thread. You're defending "your side", when in really, we're all just humans trying to make the best of it. Defend the facts instead.
Here is what the judge wrote:

The Judge has to give him a chance to file an amendment based on the wide latitude provided by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15.

As to her "signal", this is from a reporter, and it's here:
O'Grady said he'd allow a revised version of the suit to be re-filed within 30 days, but he said that should only happen if Nunes can craft a complaint that doesn't violate a federal rule against court filings that are frivolous or unsupported by evidence.

And you were factually incorrect. Unless you can evidence at that time that Nunes had re-filed, then "the lawsuit continues" wouldn't be accurate either. Giving him 30 days to file a SECOND complaint, would be a second complaint.

The OP looks accurate. You were also factually incorrect.
Why are you defending wrong stuff again? You are better than this Barnacle.

Pretty sure that 30 days is automatic.

No one in the history of the United States has ever referred to anyone as "the chief magistrate of the Union with the judiciary".

That is a nonsensical reply.
 
Another the dems are going to jail fizzes away.

As I've said before, the gop doesn't govern, however they try their best to rule.
