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, 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, Democrat Liz Mair. In Monday's complaint, Nunes again named Mair as a 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."
McClatchy did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment. In a March story, the McClatchy DC Bureau reported that Nunes' previous lawsuit against Twitter and some of its users had only "amplified" the visibility of his critics and the Internet trolls -- including one named "Devin Nunes' Cow."

McClatchy is full of scum. I live in the beltway area and have met a few of those lying jerks myself.
Whew. Ridin’ into the face of the barbarians, swinging that retributory cudgel.
Hit em where it hurts.
Discovery is gonna be GRAND!
Zzzzzzzz.
I hope he wins. But 150 million is not enough to make the McClatchys pay for all the years they covered up for the Democrats while attacking the Republicans.
Liz Mair... another UK citizen inappropriately involved in US politics, and naturally - as in all other cases of UK nationals who get involved in US politics, it seems - she’s a Deep State appendage.
Given her background, I would not be terribly surprised to find she had a hand in distributing the Steele document either.
Given their finances of late it could be enough to force them out of several markets. They’re already operating on a shoestring in some news rooms. Years ago I used to subscribe to The Bee because I liked their Sports page but gave up on them long before DJT.
It would surprise me if he cares about the money. The garbage the media did/said about Nunes was vicious......in their push to cover up for the Democrat's coup attempt against Trump.
I would say this is more about taking them behind the woodshed.... in the only way he can. While it's true that they have no morals.......they DO love their money and prestige.

20 Nov 2015: WSJ: GOP Operative Plans ‘Guerrilla Campaign’ Against Donald Trump
Move comes as growing number of Republicans fear damage to party’s image and ‘Hillary Clinton will become president’
By Beth Reinhard and Janet Hook
The Republican establishment, increasingly alarmed by the enduring strength of Donald Trump’s presidential bid, is ratcheting up efforts to knock him out of the race, including the first attempt to unite donors from rival camps into a single anti-Trump force.
A well-connected GOP operative is planning a “guerrilla campaign” backed by secret donors to “defeat and destroy” the celebrity businessman’s candidacy, according to a memo reviewed by The Wall Street Journal...

20 Nov 2015: Market Watch: Wall St Journal: Republican operative plans ‘guerrilla campaign’ against Donald Trump
By Beth Reinhardand Janet Hook
Liz Mair, former online communications director of the Republican National Committee, recently created Trump Card LLC to “defeat and destroy” the celebrity businessman’s candidacy, according to a memo obtained by The Wall Street Journal.
“In the absence of our efforts, Trump is exceedingly unlikely to implode or be forced out of the race,” the Trump Card memo says. “The stark reality is that unless something dramatic and unconventional is done, Trump will be the Republican nominee and Hillary Clinton will become president.”...

Sue them for so much they can’t afford to buy ink to write more lies.
She’s part of the homosexual lobby.

What kind of judge and jury can Devin Nunes get in Virginia and DC?
BUT WHEN YOU OPEN THE ARTICLE NOW, IT STATES:
In March, Nunes filed a similar $250 million lawsuit alleging defamation against Twitter and one of its users, ***Republican consultant Liz Mair.
No surprise that McCain's associates were part of the garbage directed at Nunes. The elitists, of both parties, knew an outsider was a danger to them all, so I could see how they would want to take down anyone helping Trump by telling the truth about the coup attempt.
