    Too late to inform the FBI, Christopher Wray is a comrade. I have a better idea, call Mueller the inquisitor, fat Nadler and little Schitt pronto, tell them you've cracked the collusion case. They are desperate, they'll make you a true American hero.

    LOL TDS libs crack me up :D

    You'd like that. Problem for you is we have this thing called "elections" and you don't get to be dictatorial fascists just because you can't win one.

    You apparently don't know the difference between a "negative tweet" and slander. If he has slandered someone on Twitter, why aren't they suing?

    Which Michael Cohen? His loyal personal attorney or the one that got turned down for a pardon once convicted of crimes unrelated to Trump?

    Until proven otherwise, sure, why not? With all the #FakeNews in the media why do you believe them?

    Not only that, but everybody already knows that the case will get laughed out of court (and Nunes has exposed himself as an over the brink delusional looney tune).

    ^That is beyond dispute.:salute:

    Well, that's what worries me, Bucky. Is it going to be some kind of nationwide courtroom "bloodbath" now, or what?

    Going forward, if NYT versus Sullivan gets thrown out, everybody is going to sue everybody else for saying anything that someone doesn't like. Nobody will feel secure in their ability to post anything in any forum anymore (and Freedom of Speech as we have come to know it in the 21st-century will have suffered a lethal blow).

    They aren't suing because, as has been explained to you at least a dozen times on here, it's a frivolous, unwinnable exercise..

    But since you have my attention (briefly), why don't you explain the legal difference between a "negative tweet" and slander...

    Be sure and draw on all that existing Twitter case law...

    Devin Nunes is a public figure. Any slander or libelous claim against him must take his personal status into account, as per NYT v Sullivan.

    How many times does Trump have to be proven a liar?

    NYT vs Sullivan does not apply. Twitter is not a publisher and they are providing false advertising.

    Nunes is suing individual posters, in addition to twitter. NYT vs Sullivan does apply - especially as it regards his lawsuit against those individuals.

    Also, what false advertising is twitter engaging?

    The lying liar who tells lies calls the real news #FakeNews. I don't give him the benefit of the doubt. I don't know why you would.

    Keep your plan, keep your doctor, :blahblah::blahblah::blahblah:

    As for our current President, he tells the truth, the press lies, and stupid people believe the #FakeNews media's lies that he lies.

    Trump's non-lies: Better economy; better care for vets; bigger and better military; lower taxes; lower regulations; better trade deals; better jobs; lower unemployment - lowest numbers for blacks Hispanics and women; higher wages; stock markets up; manufacturing up...oh and #BUILDTHEWALL!

    IT'S CALLED KEEPING PROMISES

    Um, because the #FakeNews has been proven to be liars and the President hasn't.
