re: #3 lawhawk

As of a few moments ago, @devincow has 417,000 followers and Devin’s official account has only 395,000.

Prior to the following of the lawsuit, devincow had… a few thousand followers at most.

This is an own goal (and now Devin’s got to deal with untold number of pile on satirists who want to point out Devin’s dumbassery with the lawsuit and his being such a special snowflake who doesn’t know how twitter works.

But let’s not forget that the reason for him filing the suit is to silence critics. There’s no merit to the suit, but that’s not the point.

Not sure on the answer to this one, but I’m pretty sure one of our lawyers can answer -
When Nunes filed this lawsuit, one of the items he specifically mentioned was his involvement in the investigation into Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election. Since it’s a fairly open secret that Nunes is running interference for the Trump administration in efforts to shut the investigation down (at the very least at the congressional level), two questions come up for me.

I’m wondering if (a) this opens him up to discovery since he is the one making the claims about his role in the investigation, but more importantly (b) if discovery is allowed, and during that process, documented evidence that he engaged in obstruction and conspiracy is found, even though this is civil litigation, would he open himself up to criminal prosecution?
