So, Lee Stranahan—my friend and
occasional client—has declared today to be a second Everybody Blog About Brett
Kimberlin Day.
The first time seemed to be about
protecting me and others, and protecting free speech in general. The whole idea was this: if Brett Kimberlin
would do anything he could to silence anyone who talked about him—including suing
people, getting bogus gag orders from courts, and even in my case attempting to
frame me for a crime—then maybe one way to defeat it is to have so many people
talking about him that he couldn’t retaliate against all of us. Thus, because it
was in part about protecting me, I said privately and publicly that I didn’t
have the heart to ask anyone to do that.
I mean, how do you ask someone else to take a metaphorical bullet for
you?
This time appears to have a different
goal: to bring more attention to Kimberlin’s involvement in the investigation
of 2016 election “interference” by the Russians. Here’s a typical headline: “Former
DNC Official Partnered With Convicted Bomb Maker To Investigate Trump.”
