Claims it was an “Honest Mistake”
This is the latest post in what I half-jokingly
call The Kimberlin Saga®. If you are new to the story, that’s okay! Not
everyone reads my blog. The short
version is that Kimberlin has been harassing me for over two years, his worst
conduct being when he attempted to frame me for a crime. I recognize that this might sound like an
incredible claim, but I provide video and documentary evidence of that fact; in
other words, you don’t have to believe my word.
You only have to believe your eyes.
So, if you are new to the story, go to this page and you’ll be able to catch up on what has been happening.
This is
breaking as we speak and John Hoge has uploaded document here,
but here’s the gist of it. As you might
remember, Twitchy and Michelle Malkin’s lawyer Michael Smith accused Brett Kimberlin
of forging a summons for Twitchy.
Specifically of taking a summons originally meant for me, removing my
name and inserting Twitchy onto it.
Brett was given until this Friday for a show cause as to why he shouldn’t
be sanctioned, but he got that response in early. So now you are reasonably caught up, here's the news...
First he admits
to forging it, but claims:
When
the Clerk initially sent Plaintiff 21 summons, Plaintiff spent hours compiling
them with the Complaints, the envelopes and certified cards only to discover
that the summons for Twitchy was missing. At the time, Plaintiff assumed that
the Clerk had inadvertently forgotten to include that summons since Twitchy was
named as a Defendant in the Complaint and Twitchy's address was listed in
paragraph 25 of the Complaint. Therefore, Plaintiff typed the address on a
summons and included it with the Complaint to Defendant Twitchy and sent it
certified to that address.
Of course what
he leaves out of that is the he had to
erase my name from that summons and substitute Twitchy. Which kind of undercuts his claims he didn't realize he was doing anything wrong. He also lies toward the end saying:
Plaintiff
urges this Court not to impose sanctions on Plaintiff since this was an honest
mistake, he is proceeding pro se and was unaware of the proper procedure, he
has learned from the mistake, he has apologized to all parties, and Defendant
Twitchy was not prejudiced.
First, show of
hands: how many people think that a guy who was convicted of document
forgery—as we joke, he is one of the few people who know how the Presidential
seal tastes like—and has been caught in three other forgeries in relation to
his present litigation, did this by accident?
Also it
contains a provable lie. He has not
apologized to “all parties.” I never received
any apology. And I think if John, or
Stacy McCain got an apology I would have heard from them (Update: John says he didn’t apologize to him, either). And there might be consequences for this
lie...
As for his “I’m
just a dumb pro se litigant, have mercy on me,” routine, Mr. Smith pre-rebutted
this in his motion to dismiss on behalf of Twitchy and Mrs. Malkin, saying:
And his pro se status is no excuse.
Leaving aside that Mr. Kimberlin's ample litigation experience probably makes
him more knowledgeable of the rules than many lawyers, see R.19-1, p. 1 ("I have filed over
100 lawsuits and another one will be no sweat for me"), every schoolchild
knows not to take an official document, alter it, then try to pass it off as
something other than what it is.
And for that
matter, Judge Titus has already noted that Brett is an extremely experienced
litigant who should know the ins and outs of their procedure by now as does his email to Patrick Frey. Judge Grimm can cite that in whatever ruling
he hands down.
So there you
have it. A convicted document forger
admits to a new document forgery. One
can only guess what the judge will do in response to that. And one can only guess what our criminal
justice system might say as well.
And it
verifies what I have said repeatedly about him.
He hasn’t reformed. He’s the same
criminal he has always been. But then I knew
that the moment he tried to frame me for a crime:

My wife and I have lost our jobs due to the harassment of convicted
terrorist Brett Kimberlin, including an attempt to get us killed and to frame
me for a crime carrying a sentence of up to ten years. I know that claim sounds fantastic, but if you
read starting here,
you will see absolute proof of these claims using documentary and video
evidence. If you would like to help in

Disclaimer:
I have accused
some people, particularly Brett Kimberlin, of reprehensible conduct. In some cases, the conduct is even
criminal. In all cases, the only justice
I want is through the appropriate legal process—such as the criminal justice
system. I do not want to see vigilante
violence against any person or any threat of such violence. This kind of conduct is not only morally
wrong, but it is counter-productive.
In the
particular case of Brett Kimberlin, I do not want you to even contact him. Do not call him. Do not write him a letter. Do not write him an email. Do not text-message him. Do not engage in any kind of directed
communication. I say this in part
because under Maryland law, that can quickly become harassment and I don’t want
that to happen to him.
And for that matter,
don’t go on his property. Don’t sneak
around and try to photograph him.
Frankly try not to even be within his field of vision. Your behavior could quickly cross the line
into harassment in that way too (not to mention trespass and other concerns).
And do not
contact his organizations, either. And
most of all, leave his family alone.
The only
exception to all that is that if you are reporting on this, there is of course
nothing wrong with contacting him for things like his official response to any
stories you might report. And even then
if he tells you to stop contacting him, obey that request. That this is a key element in making out a
harassment claim under Maryland law—that a person asks you to stop and you
refuse.
And let me say
something else. In my heart of hearts, I
don’t believe that any person supporting me has done any of the above. But if any of you have, stop it, and if you
haven’t don’t start.
Another important point, made by a Hogewash commenter, that completely undercuts his latest story: He claims he sent the summons to Twitchy, c/o Salem Communications, in OCTOBER - Salem's acquisition was not announced until DECEMBER. No evaluation of his veracity is even necessary: the forged summons clearly proves that this did not occur in the way he is currently claiming it did, i.e., when he was mailing out all the other summonses. http://hogewash.com/2014/03/12/brettkimberlin-admits-forgery/#comment-31547
ReplyDeleteIt is beyond belief that he would write so many obvious lies in his attempt to avoid sanctions.
ReplyDeleteHe may have "apologized" but no where in the show cause did he say the magic words that would have made the Judge less likely to sanction him.
