Mo Brooks Finally Gets Served With Lawsuit, Accidentally Shares Personal Info On Twitter

It’s been a tumultuous 24 hours for Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL). 

On Sunday, Brooks reported that he’d finally been served with a lawsuit filed by Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) in federal court back in March. The suit also names former President Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr. and Rudy Guliani for allegedly inciting the January 6 insurrection and breaking Washington D.C. laws in the process.

had such difficulty in serving Brooks with the papers that they actually hired a private investigator to hunt him down

You can run but you can’t hide.

He and his wife should have hid out on Wayne LaPierre’s yacht.

Believe it or not Mo’s an attorney. I suspect you can find many of his clients strategically dispersed around the state.

I’m hoping someone was clever enough to immediately log in and send the pic to everyone on his mailing list with the heading “You know I’m an idiot, right?”

I have no doubt that Mrs. Brooks was not happy to be served (something Rep. Brooks was uniquely situated to prevent, but didn’t).”

So, hiding behind the wimmenfolk? How… common.

The only way I see a pig like Mo being served is with an apple in his mouth.

Don the Con filed to dismiss the case “because he has absolute immunity.” No such doctrine exists. Even the current far right Supreme Court has said so. He’s in for a world of hurt and we’re all here to watch.

Any congresscritter SO STUPID that they can’t remember their gmail login password* needs to lose their security clearance. Even more important now, considering the fears of malware being downloaded on supposedly secure devices.

*handy tip: get a password notebook. They’re only a few bucks at Staples or Office Depot. That way you don’t expose your account passwords to all of the Twitterverse.

I’m on record as opining that Swalwell’s lawsuit is unlikely to be successful on the merits, largely because he does not have any significant monetary injury. That said, the nuisance value is quite high, and the discovery value is even higher. Sic 'em, Rep. Swalwell.

I have already learned that Louis Gohmert was a judge, so I can believe it. And I think that functional moron Kris Kobach was a Rhodes Scholar. :roll_eyes:

This asshole goes out of his way to avoid accepting the subpoena, when even Trump waived service, taunts Swalwell for not finding him (hiding behind House rules), then throws an epic fit when finally served, exposing his password in the process.

This man is a United States congressman.

No, but he did get a Marshall Scholarship to study at Oxford.

He’s running for Kansas AG next year.
He has to be stopped—again.

“Alabama Code 13A-7-2: 1st degree criminal trespass. Year in jail. $6000 fine,” he continued, attached to a picture of his computer screen opened to the Alabama penal code. “More to come!”
[…]
“With respect to the allegations of criminal trespass and accosting Mrs. Brooks: As I understand, Brooks is alleging that the server entered the house, which simply is not true,”

Well, Congressman, as long as you’re throwing around statutes, don’t forget to refresh your memory on:

Alabama Code Title 13A. Criminal Code § 13A-10-9

(a) A person commits the crime of false reporting to law enforcement authorities if he knowingly makes a false report or causes the transmission of a false report to law enforcement authorities of a crime or relating to a crime.

(b) False reporting to law enforcement authorities is a Class A misdemeanor.

Yep. It’s highly likely that Swalwell has facts and the law sufficient to get him to trial, and I don’t think he’s at risk of having to pay the other side’s attorney’s fees if he loses. Discovery is gonna be pretty epic.

Jeepers, by Mo’s behavior one might conclude that he has something to hide or is fearful of consequences. Jeepers…

Actually, Marshall Scholarship recipient. Also, Harvard BA (Government), summa cum laude.
