This week, we got our hands on the actual lawsuit Eric Deters has filed against Kimberly Guilfoyle and her attorneys, which is amateurish in certain ways, but Ken says the core defamation claims sound plausible enough to have legs. This week, we discuss that case, plus the investigation of Ilhan Omar and developments in the East Potomac Park case, where Judge Ana Reyes remains very displeased with the government’s conduct, and we also look at the indictment of Virginia State Senator Louise Lucas for running a marijuana dispensary.
That’s for free subscribers. Paying subscribers also hear:
* An interesting RICO trend: civil RICO suits against personal injury law firms for allegedly cooking up fraudulent cases. Civil RICO is very hard to plead, but in some places, courts are going for it.
* Three stories about court officers who aren’t all there: A New Mexico prosecutor who may be disbarred for, among other things, accusing a defendant of witchcraft; a federal judge in Texas who appears to be having a mental health episode; and an alcoholic judge Ken helped nudge off the bench when he was a young law clerk.
* And our take on “You Can See Everything” — the (fantastic) documentary on Elizabeth Holmes raises some interesting questions about what it’s like to be a prominent federal prisoner.
