Nick rekieta - legal genius unlicensed lawyer - is saying that Aaron can be sued for defamation by MAPton, because when Aaron disclosed the HRO existed against MAPton, that PROVES that Aaron made the HRO filing for the specific purpose of defaming MAPton through the filing.
This isn't quite "muh wadduhmahrk", it's more "dead to rights on the felony". Nick is the dumbest, blackest gorilla nigger I've ever seen. He is pants on head retarded. ...
It goes like this - Aaron is a Machiavellian mastermind evil genius. He filed the HRO against Nick and filled it with lies, knowing that Nick would not be able to resist telling everyone about the HRO which would lead MNPR to go to the courthouse and get the documents, publish them, and therefore publicize Aaron's defamation.
He was even smarter with Melton. Aaron is always 2 steps ahead, you see, and he knew Melton would be less likely to announce to the world that the Toe had successfully gotten a (temporary ex-parte) HRO against him. But everyone already knew about Nick's, and thus knew Aaron was capable of deceiving the courts to violate peoples' first amendment rights. So when MAPton stopped talking about Aaron, people got suspicious. And about a week later, Aaron nonchalantly mentioned he'd gotten an HRO against Melton. That lead to MNPR to go to the courthouse, get the documents, and publish them thereby publicizing Aaron's dastardly defamation against Aaron to the whole world.
That all proves that the HRO's were made specifically to spread the LIES of the EVIL and CONNIVING Aaron Imholte, opening him up to legal liability.
Except that Aaron only mentioned the existence of an HRO and didn't elaborate about it publicly. And, without that elaboration he couldn't have used any of the claims or insinuations in the HRO to make defamatory statements.
He didn't even suggest for people to read the HRO or even post it.
It's even dumber than you think. Let's assume right out of the gate that everything about this Machiavellian plot is 100% true, proving that Aaron not only abused the court system solely as a conduit through which to disseminate defamatory statements, but also did so with blatant malice. That's all well and good, but what difference does any of it make when
even defamatory and malicious statements pertaining or referring to the subject matter of the court proceeding in which they are uttered are afforded absolute privilege in Minnesota just as they are, well, pretty much
fucking anyplace where English is a first language?
Matthis v. Kennedy, 243 Minn. 219, 225-226 (Minn. 1954).
B-b-but surely one can give Nick the benefit of the doubt and assume he was operating under the common misconception that this privilege only applies to witness testimony in an actual trial or evidentiary hearing, and wouldn't apply to a sworn petition commencing the action, right? No, fuck that, don't give him an inch:
Id. at 227-228.
We're not talking about some abstruse change in the past few years that a guy understandably might miss without catching up on his backlog of CLEs - this is basic, hornbook stuff going back to the horse-and-buggy days. No, even earlier than that, more like when the judges were still wearing
wigs. No, even earlier than that, more like when they still spelled wigs with an h. And
still it never crossed his mind as a potential issue. How the FUCK is anyone still tuning in for even so much as this mongoloid's
"translating the legal world to layperson [sic]," whether practicing or not?
Lord, what I wouldn't give to have been a fly on the wall during all the late-night calls and DM chains between him and MAPton giving unlicensed advice like this, which surely will have continued unabated before, during, and after the Barneswalker's period of at least nominal "representation." Please, MAPton,
please follow every last bit of unlicensed advice that Nick ever gave, I beg you. Then when it all goes south to the point of even eating gigantic sanction awards like Vic Mignogna did, we could see the funniest arc yet of MAPton himself dropping into the mail the bar complaint, police report, and probation violation report for the
literal crime of which he is a victim. I can't wait.
