How quickly people rush forward to defend the media.

It is almost as if the protection of our media was written into our foundational document.

In all seriousness I think he's the inspiration for Devin Nunes, lol.

ps note to self, I Never, never take a poster at their word. When the head of the investigation, Schiff, does not die life his sources, why should I believe an anonymous poster on a forum.

This would go a lot easier if you could just explain your issues rather than speaking cryptically and expecting people to guess what you mean

furthermore.... yes there is more.... how did they get a private citizens phone records without going through the courts?

Since when has Congress ever needed to go through the courts to issue a subpoena in a congressional investigation? Also, this is not the question you asked earlier. You specifically asked (multiple times) how Congress got Devin Nunes's phone records. That question has been answered multiple times in multiple ways by multiple people all saying the same thing.

Merry Christmas, this is my gift for you.

I know multiple people have answered this for you, but just in case you need clarification here you go.

When individual A calls individual B, individual A's carrier will log entries into a CDR table with timestamp, caller, destination, some metadata such as rate center, rates and cost, and direction which in this case will be outgoing.

Individual B's carrier logs the same with the direction as incoming.

If you look at individual B's call logs, you can see that individual A called them including all the metadata.

You do not need to get individual A's call records to see that he/she called individual B. If individual B's call records have been subpoena'd then the information that individual A called B is obvious.

Now I don't see you asking WHY Nunes called Giuliani and Parnas. Why is that ?

He's part of the Guiliani prayer chain?

Sounds plausible.

A [Virginia] judge concludes that the lawmaker's $435 million libel suit has hardly anything at all to do with the state. The case is transferred to New York, a more convenient forum for CNN.

The highly litigious Nunes is asserting $435 million in damages (a comical amount that doesn't include additionally claimed interest) over what he alleges to be a "demonstrably false hit piece" about a meeting between him and an ex-Ukrainian prosecutor to discuss dirt on Joe Biden. CNN's source is said to be a lawyer for Lev Parnas, an indicted associate of President Donald Trump's own attorney Rudy Giuliani. Nunes insists he never met with the Ukrainian, didn't tell Parnas anything of the sort, and that CNN had obvious reasons to doubt a source facing prosecution.

Nunes filed the case in Virginia, the same state where he's suing a fake cow and others on social media. His legal efforts ... have been credited with spurring Virginia lawmakers to pass a SLAPP bill, making it tougher to pursue frivolous lawsuits targeting free speech.

Like CNN did with Nick?

Free speech does not cover libel

Nunes is a “public figure”, Nick was made one (against His will, apparently). Did CNN admit to defamation?

What do you think they paid him $275,000,000.00 for?

Remember the false accusation against Nunes was during the height of the unverified leaking mess that is just now coming to light.

Being falsely accused of an act that can be considered treason is not covered under free speech. This is not an exoneration of CNN - it is a change of venue.

Devin Nunes sues CNN for $435M over ‘false and defamatory’ Ukraine story

The 47-page lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, accuses the liberal network of publishing “numerous egregiously false and defamatory” statements about Nunes on Nov. 22, 2019 when journalist Vicky Ward reported claims that Nunes met with Ukranian prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, in Vienna in 2018 to dig "up dirt" on Hunter and Joe Biden.

And guess who:

. “It was obvious that his lies were part of a thinly-veiled attempt to obstruct justice and to trick either the United States Attorney or House Intelligence Committee Chairman, Adam Schiff into offering ‘immunity’ in return for information’ about [Nunes].”

Yawn. Another Nunes Nothingburger. He never tires of wasting time, does he?

It shows that it's not the first time Nunes has gone berserk with a nine-figure lawsuit...

...and it won't be the last time he fails.

The same thing I would've said if he had won his $250 million lawsuit against a cow:
