On the Nunes dismissal--important to note that it was based solely--and properly--on jurisdictional grounds. The question of whether the Segment was defamatory was not reached. This is an important point against the GOP habit of forum shopping.
Of course there is no way the Segment could be considered defamation. Nunes DID publish the things that Tapper showed. That he then “changed his mind” is not relevant to whether or not he published them, particularly since the point of the Segment was the knee jerk response of some Republicans to the Pelosi attack.
