...alleging conspiracy to derail Clinton, Russia probes
Good for Nunes - FoxNews

House Intelligence Committee ranking member Devin Nunes filed a $150 million lawsuit in Virginia state court against The McClatchy Company and others on Monday, alleging that one of the news agency's reporters conspired with a political operative to derail Nunes' oversight work into the Hillary Clinton campaign and Russian election interference.
The filing, obtained by Fox News, came a day after Nunes, R-Calif., revealed he would send eight criminal referrals to the Justice Department this week concerning purported surveillance abuses by federal authorities during the Russia probe, false statements to Congress and other matters.
In March, Nunes filed a similar $250 million lawsuit alleging defamation against Twitter and one of its users, Republican consultant Liz Mair. In Monday's complaint, Nunes again named Mair as a co-defendant, charging this time that she conspired with McClatchy reporter MacKenzie Mays to spread a variety of untruthful and misleading smears -- including that Nunes "was involved with cocaine and underage prostitutes" -- online and in print.
Reached for comment late Monday, Mair directed Fox News to a USA Today op-ed she penned earlier this week concerning Nunes' previous lawsuit entitled, "Free speech means I don't have to be nice to Devin Nunes on Twitter. So why's he suing me?"
A spokesperson for McClatchy told Fox News late Monday: "We have no comment and stand behind the strong reporting of The Fresno Bee," the McClatchy-owned publication cited throughout Nunes' lawsuit.

$150 million here, $250 there, any chance he sues for enough in the long run to pay for the wall?

I think there should be several more of these from various politicians.
Freedom of speech does not give you the right to purposely and knowingly make up lies about a person, regardless if he is a public figure or not. I would say particularly if he is a public figure who relies on his reputation/votes for his job.
This story is just a mini version of spygate, and if our govt can do it, why cant everyone else?

He also sued a fake cow. This will go as far as Trump’s suit against Bill Maher.

Well, there is 'frivolous'...and there is Evidence. Nunes has the evidence. Discovery is a bitch; something Smollett, et al will learn soon.

All of these media outlets should have their assess sued off.
They have a responsibility to ensure what they're printing or reporting is accurate.

She should spend more time reading up on "libel".

Pretty much.
This explicitly fails the “absence of malice” test by conspiring to make shite up about a public figure.
