Udder Failure: Devin Nunes Can’t ID Critics Behind Cow Tweets, So Suit Appears Moot

The conservative congressman’s attorney says the case against snarky Devin Nunes’ Cow has hit a “dead end.”

His attorney complained in a court in Richmond, Virginia, on Friday that he and the congressman have hit a “dead end” in their bid to identify the scathing Nunes critics behind “Devin Nunes’ Cow” — and “Devin Nunes’ Mom,” The Fresno Bee reported.

Twitter argued early this year that Nunes can’t sue the social media company for remarks in the parody accounts because federal law gives them “broad immunity” from liability for the comments of their users.

Twitter also refused to reveal the identities of the account holders. Virginia Judge John Marshall has not ordered the company to do so — making suing those people virtually impossible, complained Nunes’s attorney Steven Biss.

Marshall has not yet ruled on the case, but he didn’t appear particularly sympathetic to Nunes’s suit. “I don’t know of any requirement in the law that says these sites have to be neutral,” Marshall said in court Friday. “Just because you don’t like it and asked to have them take it down, doesn’t mean they’re liable if they don’t take it down.”

I understand Devin Nunes’ Mom and the cow were not available for comment.

Devin Nunes’ cow 🐮 @DevinCow

For Pete’s sake, if reading my tweets is painful, don’t read them. I’m not part of a conspiracy-did not work for the Janz campaign. Maybe regular Americans just don’t like how elected representatives behave and use our first amendment rights to say so🐮
