In a new filing to quash the subpoena, Parkhomenkos attorney argues that the Twitter accounts language does not constitute defamation and that courts are tasked with protecting anonymous communications in the interest of freedom of speech.
No reasonable person would believe that Devin Nunes cow actually has a Twitter account, or that the hyperbole, satire and cow-related jokes it posts are serious facts, reads the filing in Virginias Henrico County Circuit Court. It is self-evident that cows are domesticated livestock animals and do not have the intelligence, language, or opposable digits needed to operate a Twitter account. Defendant Devin Nunes Mom likewise posts satirical patronizing, nagging, mothering comments which ostensibly treat Mr. Nunes as a misbehaving child.
