Matt Taibbi looking to make congresswoman pay big-time for repeating her smear online

Kamlager-Dove made the mistake of running her mouth where the Speech and Debate Clause can't protect her.
Investigative journalist Matt Taibbi filed a $10 million lawsuit Thursday against radical California Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D) over her allegation earlier in the week that he is a "serial sexual harasser."
Taibbi, who has flatly denied the already-debunked allegation, noted in his publication Racket News that he would have been more or less powerless to hold the California Democrat accountable for allegedly defaming him had she done so only during the House Foreign Affairs subcommittee hearing on Tuesday, where he spoke as a witness and countered the narrative slung by former Biden Disinformation Governance Board czar Nina Jankowicz.
After all, in Congress, Kamlager-Dove can hide "behind the protections of the Speech and Debate Clause of the Constitution," Taibbi noted.
