Perhaps Nunes has the same backers as Dana Rohrbacher?

That means Nunes is either paying for the lawsuits out of his own pocket, promising to pay his lawyer a portion of any money theyre awarded in court at a later date, or flouting House Ethics rules that would require him to publicly disclose who is funding the legal work.
Nunes, R-Calif., has filed lawsuits against Twitter, anonymous social media users known as Devin Nunes Cow and Devin Nunes Mom, a Republican political strategist, media companies, journalists, progressive watchdog groups, a political research company that worked for Hillary Clintons 2016 campaign and a retired farmer in Nunes own district.
All but one of those lawsuits the one filed in California by Nunes campaign against retired farmer Paul Buxman, who accused Nunes of being a fake farmer is still active. Nunes filed most of the cases in Virginia.

No attorney with any sense would take these cases on contingency. They have to know there's ZERO chance of Nunes collecting on any of these nuisance suits.

On the other hand, Klayman (or another RW group in the US) would fund Nunes' suits just because pissing on liberals is what they do.
