I guess that TDPK feels the fact that his Motion to Order Plaintiff to Cease and Desist and for Sanctions Against Plaintiff’s Counsel got shot down by the judge yesterday isn’t newsworthy. Of course, he probably hasn’t wanted to broadcast his essentially complete lack of success in court for the last month. That certainly doesn’t fit his narrative.
Another thing … I wonder if I’m the only person looking at his site. Hogewash! has had lots of comments in the past month. Has there been no one interested enough to comment? Wow.
OTOH, at least the tick/tocking has stopped (for a while at least). Time’s run out for discovery.
I’d speculate that Kimberlin’s strategy is complete non-compliance, plus extra research on how to insulate assets from the resultant money judgment. From his perspective, a practically non-enforceable judgment is likely preferable to releasing reams of damaging information in discovery.
From the motions that Kimberlin has produced thus far, I’d further speculate that along the way Kimberlin will continue to pack his legal motions with legally extraneous negative information (or misinformation) against those he perceives to be his enemies: the plaintiff, his attorney, the proprietor of this blog, Mr. Frey, etc. No doubt Kimberlin has picked up somewhere that statements made in legal papers are privileged against defamation suits, and he may intend to abuse this privilege to the hilt. (I haven’t studied this particular sub-issue, but knowing something of the law I’m almost certain there’s something like a “good faith” exception to this privilege. But Kimberlin doesn’t seem to deal well with legal nuance.)
Kimberlin has already structured his life around avoiding the million dollar judgment Carl DeLong’s widow has against him. For instance, his lives in the basement of a house his mother allegedly owns. Justice Through Music in its tax returns claims office rental expenses greater than the fair market rent of the entire house even though it occupies less than 1% of the floor space. He claims that his $19,500 income derives from operating two non-profits that taken in over $200,000/yr. Kimberlin has announced his intention to plead the fifth to among other questions, “What compensation do you draw… including travel reimbursements?” I’m sure you can connect the dots.
Kimberlin’s real problem is maintaining the flow of revenue to his “non-profits,” without that income stream being diverted to satisfy the multiple judgments against him. It is a rather intractable problem. People whom take the Fifth on child sex questions are radioactive in Washington.
Kimberlin’s judgment evasion tactics are backfiring on him. JTM simply must comply with all lawful discovery requests. If Kimberlin pleads the Fifth to the question of how much total compensation he draws, and how, JTM could be forced to answer that question for him.
He wouldn’t ignorant enough to think he could get away with it by simply closing down JTM and trying to open up a different non-profit to take it’s place.
Also I noticed his tax filings that a MAJORITY of the money is claimed to be spent on printing (I forget the exact nomenclature used in the filings) Especially in the years he took in HIGH 6 figure income it seems excessive at first glance.
