For the past few days, we’ve been looking at The Dread Deadbeat Pro-Se Kimberlin’s inept presentation of his case during the Kimberlin v. Walker, et al. LOLsuit. He kept trying to bring in non-germane topics. The TKPOTD from four years ago today dealt with his attempt to bring up the legal assistance fund I started to help Tetyana Kimberlin, something that had nothing to do with alleged defamation of TDPK.

During last month’s Kimberlin v. Walker, et al. trial, The Dread Pro-Se Kimberlin seemed particularly interested in the help that Aaron Walker and I had provided to Mrs. Kimberlin. This was part of his questioning of Aaron Walker.

MR. KIMBERLIN: Now, you — after you helped my wife file these things, you create with Mr. Hoge, am I correct? A defense fund for my wife, to raise money for her?

MR. WALKER: That is correct.

MR. KIMBERLIN: And you hired — you raised how much? A thousand? $100 —

MR. WALKER: I don’t know. I did not — personally control the funds.

MR. KIMBERLIN: But suffice it to say, it was a fairly significant amount.

MR. WALKER: Well —

MR. OSTRONIC: Objection.

THE COURT: Sustained.

MR. KIMBERLIN: And you used that money to hire an attorney, another attorney, to represent my wife.

MR. WALKER: I did not use the money. As I recall, John Hoge decided to loan several thousand dollars to your wife to help her get an attorney, and as of last I heard, he’s still in the red on that.

MR. KIMBERLIN: Oh, he loaned it to her? Okay —

MR. WALKER: Well, I don’t — no. It’s not a loan to her. We were hoping that he would get it back from donors.

When he got me on the witness stand he asked me about the fund as well.

MR. KIMBERLIN: And as a result of that email thread, did you terminate the defense fund that you had raised, or started for her?

MR. OSTRONIC: Objection, your honor. I —

THE COURT: Sustained.

MR. OSTRONIC: Thank you.

MR. KIMBERLIN: Did you take any action after you received that email?

MR. HOGE: I don’t know which email you’re talking about, so I — you would have to show me the email, and then I can tell you what action I might have taken as a result of it.

MR. KIMBERLIN: Now, you with my wife after the hearing. Am I correct?

MR. HOGE: Yes.

MR. KIMBERLIN: And as a result of that meeting, you created a defense fund. Am I correct?

MR. HOGE: Not as an immediate result of that meeting. Not our first meeting. No.

MR. KIMBERLIN: Did my wife ever tell you —

MR. OSTRONIC: Objection.

THE COURT: Sustained.

MR. KIMBERLIN: Did you stop that defense fund at some point in time?

MR. HOGE: Yes.

MR. KIMBERLIN: And was that on account of her?

MR. HOGE: At her request.

MR. KIMBERLIN: And at that time, did she ask you to remove any post about —

MR. OSTRONIC: Objection.

THE COURT: Sustained. The objection’s sustained.

MR. KIMBERLIN: Your honor, it goes to malice.

THE COURT: Well, it’s hearsay. He can’t testify what she said. She’s not part in this case.

He got back around to the topic of the legal fund for his wife on redirect examination.

MR. KIMBERLIN: You’ve been to events with Mr. Akbar?

MR. HOGE: Yes.

MR. KIMBERLIN: You’ve been nominated for awards by the National Blogger’s club for writing about me. Right?

MR. HOGE: Yes.

MR. KIMBERLIN: You coordinated with Mr. Akbar to raise funds for this Tetyana defense fund. Am I correct?

MR. HOGE: He volunteered to be a contributor. He wasn’t involved in starting the fund.

Gentle Reader, I suspect that what triggered the Kimberlin v. Walker, et al. vexatious lawsuit was the help we offered Mrs. Kimberlin. Brett Kimberlin made his family issues public when he sought a protective order against his estranged wife and a peace order and criminal charges against her boyfriend. His lawfare against them backfired, and his attempt at brass knuckles reputation management by suing Aaron, Stacy, Ali, KU, and me has resulted in an extra helping of Streisand Effect.

Just wait till he sees what’s coming in the RICO Madness.

He did even worse in the RICO Madness case. The federal counts were thrown out for failure to state a claim, and when he refiled the state law claims in state court, he wound up being adjudicated defamation proof.

Everything proceeded as I had foreseen.
