Devin Nunes has sued: - @RyanLizza & @mcclatchy - $150M - Twitter/ @DevinCow / @mom_nunes - $250M - @CNN - $435M Total Sought - $835M or about the net worth of @Tiger or @DrDre The big question: Who is paying for this? Anyone have any ideas?

Devin Nunes lives on a congressman’s salary. How is he funding so many lawsuits?

Rep. Devin Nunes has filed six defamation lawsuits so far this year and is promising more. How does a non-wealthy congressman afford to file so many lawsuits?
