New documents reveal that William Barr’s Department of Justice attempted to unmask the anonymous user of a Twitter account parodying Devin Nunes. Barbara McQuade joins Chris Hayes to discuss what this means for user privacy on the internet.

If anyone deserves a repeated public drubbing, it is sycophantic Devin Moooooñes.
Get milked Devin!
@Praetor_Fenix420 and Mike Pompeo. Don’t forget to complete that line of thinking!!
Using the DOJ to stop people mocking you?? Pull the udder one Devin 🐮
@CShield ha! She should take up her beef with Devin then…
@Jennie Janine yes…but we take what we can get and Devin generously keeps of giving…a land of milk and funny from Mooooñes…
@TheBase1aransas 👈👀Dunce Alert 🖕
I heard they traced it to a cow shed.
🤣🤣🤣
What do you get when you add Nunes and DC?
Dunce-n!
Devin Nunes practically begs to be trolled and someone obliged. What’s the problem…
@Teresita Uy 🤣😂🤣😂
LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
@John Demeritt Scales.
I’m so here for the pettiness.
This is exactly what trolls seek lol.
The real snowflakes are actually the GOP😂😂
Trump and his lackeys, to put a finer point on it. The GOP must be saved from that dire infection.
I think it’s too late to save it as it stands…They need to split up and rebrand with the few that actually have clear minds and let the voters vote out all the insane people
Suprising no one
@Federalist Papers Imagine thinking AoC feels threatened by a clown she won’t even name. That’s how low she thinks of the space laser clown
True 100%
The scarier thing is what were they going to do to this person when/if they figured out who it was?
Quietly destroy the troll in a behind the scenes campaign: get him fired, pin some crime on him, etc… Deep deep state stuff. Maybe spike his food with drugs to drive him insane.. Lol
@Max Holstein = Milk Cow.
@Vast Deferance lol
I dare you guys to smoke a fat doobie and then read this thread. Jesus…I cannot BREATHE! Lol I laughed so hard!
🌚🤫wow
The New York State Attorney General’s office on his job said on Tuesday it has told the Trump Organization its investigation of the company run by Trump is now a Criminal probe, not purely civil.
Great! Shame on all jurisdictions where djt previously committed crimes and fraud ! You would have saved the world had he been disqualified from presidential run🤬
Love that it’s now a Criminal investigation!
New York A.G. is a woman.
Stormy said he loves to get probed🙃🤮
The DOJ backed off when they discovered it was Devin’s Mom’s account.
@christoph paessler I hope Devin treats his cow better than Cruz treats his family dog!
His livestock have secured a restraining order against him. Cows in his district are actively pursuing a class-action lawsuit against him.
👍👍
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I just thought that too. How funny would it be if it was really a hate account run by his mom
It would have been great if Twitter told Nunes the account belonged to his Mother…
Or to his cow.
Devin Nunes’s cows and his children hate him.
Or the cow.
🤣🤣🤣. that’s hilarious!
It is a serious crime to use a grand jury for personal reasons
Impeachable.
Just like the 10 cases of obstruction.
mAYBE……IT’S A NEW WORLD
Devin: somebody is using keyboard karate on me mommy
Cow: shut up stupid and grow a pair
That would make him an oxan at his age because he doesn’t have a pair.
It’s hard to wrap your head around how corrupt it is for the government to use the DOJ in such a way.
It‘s not hard at all. It was the Trump administration.
@New Soul : Uh … is there a parallel here? Or are you saying these Twitter accounts were a national security threat?
@New Soul go away smooth brain.
@Woody Wood I know, but JFC, it’s so blatant.
But Donald used the ENTIRE US GOVT to unmask his enemies.
The Cow is one of my favourite bovine Twitter users.
Absolutely!!!
_Cow_ is it possible, that with all their resources, they couldn’t find the person behind the account?! Incompetence at its finest!
If Nunes was that upset over a Twitter account, wait until he finds out what Matt Gaetz has been doing.
Devin’s cow has a restraining order against him as well as Matt Gaetz.
If he was that upset why not just close he’s account. But instead he wants to find out who they were…to do what?? Devin Nunes wasn’t he the. One who helped Trump accused Obama of putting Trump under surveillance that turned out to be the big lie.
Not inviting him to parties?
I remember following all this a couple of years ago. Good times.
@Wonder Wonderful Trump associates’ conversations were being spied on. That is to be expected when you are having conversations with people that are being surveilled by the US intelligence agencies.
Bill Barr needs to go to prison. For more than one reason! Corruption went into hyperdrive at DOJ under Barr.
what they were doing for 4 years is beyond ridiculous and someone has to be investigated and charged finally
Billy Barr may have really stepped in it this time.
Hahaha… priceless. Of course he tried to sue… ❄
Gag me with an ice cream spoon, and stopping milking it Devin. Don’t have a cow.
Medical science is amazing. How they can keep Devin Nunes alive with such thin skin is a miracle!
In the couple years I was on Twitter I managed to get RTs or comments from several people with a level of fame (Mark Hamill, Clark Gregg, Michael Ian Black, etc) but my proudest Twitter moment was getting an lol from Devin Nunes Cow.
Picture or you’re lying
