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

WASHINGTON

Rep. Devin Nunes’ critics have obsessed over how he is paying for the six lawsuits he filed this year, but there are no public records showing how he has paid his Virginia lawyer.

That means Nunes is either paying for the lawsuits out of his own pocket, promising to pay his lawyer a portion of any money they’re 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-Tulare, 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 firm that worked for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign and a retired farmer in Nunes’ own district.

Rush just observed that the media never ask how (Dem) members of Congress become millionaires on congressional pay. Maybe Nunes' lawyers are doing this pro bono.

Wow -- so there are actually lawyers who take on work for plaintiffs who only get paid out of proceeds from a trial or settlement?  What a novel concept!  Maybe they could call it something like "contingency fee."

Agreed with mountaineer.

Either pro bono or "on contingency".
