Brett Kimberlin routinely lies. His first felony conviction was for perjury, and he has been caught making false statements in all the suits he filed against my codefendants and me. His current filings in his case before the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals suggests he has not reformed. The TKPOTD from seven years ago today examined one of lies in a Kimberlin court paper.

The Dread Pro-Se Kimberlin make lots of assertions in his various filings in his Kimberlin v. The Universe, et al. RICO Madness that are equal parts falsehood and silliness. This is from his opposition to my motion to dismiss his first amended complaint.

Point (1) of that claim is simply false. Here is how I replied—Of course, I expect to win the RICO Madness lawsuit. It should be dismissed for multiple reasons, including TDPK’s failure to state a claim for which relief can be granted. Even if it makes its way to trial as the state Kimberlin v. Walker, et al. nuisance lawsuit did, TDPK can’t present evidence for all the elements of any of the torts he’s alleged.

The Team Kimberlin Theory of Lawfare as propounded by First Mate Neal Rauhauser relies on low-cost pro se lawsuits against defendant’s with little legal experience who can be intimidated into settlements. TDPK’s practical application of the theory in the RICO Madness has been rather inept. He’s sued a couple of lawyers, several media entities with counsel either on retainer or staff, and several other defendants deeply committed to defending their First Amendment rights. The other defendants who might have been intimidated have been encouraged by the vigorous defenses that some of us have made.

It’s disappointing to have to wait until next year to see this vexatious lawsuit go away. OTOH, the longer it lasts, the greater the potential blowback on Brett Kimberlin. I’ll bet that he doesn’t have enough good sense to cut his losses by seeking to dismiss the case rather than filing his omnibus opposition.

We will see.

Stay tuned.

No, he didn’t have the good sense to cut his losses after the RICO Madness LOLsuit. He sued me in state court (RICO Retread) over the state law claims, kept me involved in discovery for the single count against the one remaining defendant in the first RICO case (RICO Remnant), and named me as a defendant in the second RICO 2: Electric Boogaloo LOLsuit. It took beating him in all of those for him to finally figure out suing me was a whole lot more trouble than it was worth.
