(Reuters) - A U.S. appeals court on Friday rejected former congressman Devin Nunes' effort to revive a $250 million lawsuit accusing the Washington Post of defamation for implying that he lied to former President Donald Trump, a close ally.

In a 3-0 decision, the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., said Nunes "does not point to a single statement" that was false or defamatory on its face in the February 2020 article about Russia's desire for Trump to win a second White House term.

Nunes "failed to plausibly allege a claim of defamation," the court said.

Why the bad moood Devin?

[Midnight Writer]

1. Folks need to counter-sue over these frivolous lawsuits. It is the only thing that will stop them.

23. I believe the courts.......

have the 'power' or authority to stop them if they see fit. It seems to be happening to Sidney Powell, Rudy, and others in the tRump Legal 'Brain Trust' ( ) ((sorry - couldn't keep a straight face on THAT one!)).

A problem I see is that so many of tRump/McTurtle judges are out there now that they may be inclined to play along with 'their' game.

It's going to be a sad 'review in history' when later generations look back and see how our current populace allowed itself to be lulled into inattention to what was going on in our government.....

2. Nunes has a very 'Devin May Care' attitude

[Achilleaze]

3. Republican and Russian losers take losing poorly

[moniss]

4. Great news

all around. It would behoove a sane man to let this udderly crazy lawsuit finally die. But knowing how he has acted already he cud be stubborn enough to try to take this to the SC. It is a strange tail to be sure but he may well be full holstein ahead at this point. Every court has clopped him on this case and he needs to put this whole matter out to pasture.

5. Anyone have nunes won/lost record in courts?

[MyOwnPeace]

24. OK, I'm gonna' give you some credit for the 'word play'..........

but don't try to milk it.......

[moniss]

26. Thank you

and I will take your advice. I'm sure it is apparent I'm not trying to curry favor but Nunes would probably tan my hide if he saw these posts.

[PatSeg]

13. There must be some way

to turn this into a drinking game!

[PatSeg]

12. Ha, ha, ha!!!

Is anyone keeping track of the frivolous lawsuits that he has lost??? If it wasn't so pathetic, it would be hilarious.

[IllinoisBirdWatcher]

14. Devin's Cow looks so happy. I'm sure Mom is as well. N/T

[NCjack]

15. Devin really needed that payday.

[Beacool]

16. Wuuuaaaahhhaaahhhhaaaa!!!!

[peppertree]

17. Here's to Dumb Devin

Just when it seems so clear, that it's over now - drink your big black cow, and get out of here...

[Jerry2144]

18. Question for the lawyers on here:

Doesn't one have to have character in order for it to be defamed?

[SergeStorms]

19. Awwwww...poor Devin.

This guy could screw up a one car funeral procession.

Now he can devote more time to fucking up Truth Social.

[SheltieLover]

20. Hahaha! Bad moooood...

[Piasladic]

21. Moooo-wha ha, ha, ha!

[LudwigPastorius]

22. Better headline: Nunes Udderly Defeated In Defamation Appeal

[NBachers]

29. I'm so glad to see Devin proving to be a joke and a failure. Hey Devin, how much has trump paid you

for running Truth Social into the ground? Didja get paid upfront?

[3Hotdogs]

30. How did he find a lawyer to file this? Aren't liar fees in such cases contingent upon

a win/percentage of the award or settlement?
