Larry Klayman, Conservative Wingnut Lawyer, Gets Reprimanded By Florida Bar, Is Broke

[meegbear]

What with all of his insane lawsuits against the Clintons, Facebook, Rachel Maddow, President Obama, and his own mother, conservative Florida activist and lawyer Larry Klayman is pretty damn busy.

Too busy to defend his real clients, apparently. The Florida Bar has issued a public reprimand of Klayman for taking a $25,000 payment to represent a woman in a high-profile criminal case and then allegedly failing to, y'know, do any lawyerin'.

When he was ordered to pay the client back, Klayman missed payments, whining in court documents that he's so broke he can't afford a bankruptcy lawyer.

Allow us to shed a single tear for the man who calls Barack Obama "mullah in chief".

Klayman founded Judicial Watch, the conservative organization that filed eighteen lawsuits against the Clinton administration in the '90s, and recently sued Hillary Clinton. Klayman left Judicial Watch and then, of course sued it. He recently sued Facebook for $1 billion for not removing an anti-Israel page, and represented a homophobic preacher in a slander lawsuit against Rachel Maddow. Oh, yeah, and he sued his mom.

According to a complaint filed with the Florida Bar, Klayman was hired in 2007 by Natalia Humm, a Daytona Beach woman who along with her husband was accused of arranging sham marriages in an immigration scam. Humm claimed that Klayman didn't provide any legal services for the payment. A mediator ordered him to return $5,000, but he failed to make timely payments.

6. re: Sued Facebook for $1 billion for not removing an anti-Israel page,

Certainly believes in a very selective form of freedom of speech, (like all RETHUGS), doesn't he? Geebus.... :eyes:
