Alabama Congressman Mo Brooks is representing himself in the insurrection lawsuit filed by his colleague Eric Swalwell, and it's going exactly well as you'd expect.

After ducking the process server for weeks, Brooks marched into the federal court and demanded that the Justice Department and/or the House Counsel defend him for conduct undertaken in the scope of his work. Unfortunately, his defense included a claim that when he addressed the pitchfork mob on January 6, he hoped "to inspire listeners to start focusing on the 2022 and 2024 elections, which had already begun" — a fairly explicit admission that he was engaged in campaign speech, which is not part of his official duties.

"The record indicates that Brooks's appearance at the January 6 rally was campaign activity, and it is no part of the business of the United States to pick sides among candidates in federal elections," wrote the government in its brush-off motion.

Well, Mo Brooks isn't going to take that lying down, Mister! So he fired off a bunch of motions yesterday telling the judge exactly how to handle this tomfoolery. Characterizing the DOJ's brief as "fictional" and exhorting the court to "resolve whether it will render a decision based on fiction or fact supported by evidence," the congressman offered up some "Verified Brooks Facts."

1. God in heaven spare us these idiots

Here’s hoping I see a smack down par excellence in the near future.

2. "3. Brooks has never been arrested for or convicted of any felonies or misdemeanors. "

Not yet, anyway. And, just because he hasn't been arrested or convicted, it doesn't mean he hasn't committed them. I think we will be finding out soon enough that he's guilty as sin of some pretty ugly stuff.

Nobody cares that you haven't been divorced---especially when you're carrying water for a bloated sack of greasy shit who has 5 kids with 3 different baby mamas. I hope Rep. Swalwell takes you to the cleaners.

3. I doesn't matter if Mo Brooks was a model citizen

all the way up to Jan 6 -- and I kinda doubt he's squeaky clean. When the time came, he stood up in front of a mob and incited them to violence against the US Congress.

Come on, Mo. There is video evidence of what you did that day, and the outcome of your actions. Granted, you had help, but that won't save you. In fact, being part of a group of people sharing your actions and intent is a strike against you. You are rightly screwn, and there is no one to blame for it but yourself.
