https://www.fresnobee.com/article247930665.htmlCalifornia Rep. Devin Nunes is suing Twitter again and a man who previously lived in his district, alleging a widespread stalking and harassment campaign against Nunes that he says was conducted on Twitter.
The complaint by Nunes provides almost no specific examples to support his stalking and harassment accusations. The man he is suing has filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit under Californias anti-SLAPP law, which discourages frivolous lawsuits.
In a response to the motion, Nunes says his complaint should be heard.
In the complaint filed in Tulare County Superior Court in October, Nunes says the man, Benjamin Paul Meredith, runs a network of anonymous Twitter accounts that stalk (Nunes) 24 hours, every day. Nunes says the accounts have posted thousands of comments threatening him, posting his personal information and encouraging others to harass him.
Nunes also is suing Twitter, which he accuses of aiding and abetting Merediths unlawful acts. The last defendant listed is Does 1 to 100 or the Doe Defendants, as Nunes alleges there is an extensive network of anonymous accounts that are harassing him.

He must have a lot of MOOney to hire all these attorneys.

Frivolous Republican abuse of the courts must end. They're being used as a political tool to intimidate and harass.

in his lawsuits against mockery. Even though he really really didn't like it, the Supreme Court said Hustler could publish cartoons of him losing his virginity to his mother in an outhouse.
Nunes could do worse.

(6,222 posts)8. So it sounds like he wants to sue Twitter
for allowing the tweets, while donnie is pissed off at Twitter for flagging his tweets.
Sure, some rules don't apply to these assholes.
