Taitz: Ex-Client's Letter Renouncing Me In Birther Case May Be A Forgery
Birther attorney Orly Taitz tells TPMmuckraker she believes a letter sent by her now ex-client renouncing Taitz -- in a case alleging that Barack Obama's birth certificate is a forgery -- may itself be a forgery. It's worth noting that Taitz submitted as evidence in the original filing in the "birther soldier" case of Army Capt. Connie Rhodes a "Kenyan birth certificate" that is itself an obvious forgery.
In the e-mail to TPMmuckraker (read it in full below), Taitz claims she was acting like any attorney would by not seeking "additional consent" from her client before filing what she refers to as a "Motion for reconsideration." It was actually an emergency request for stay of deployment -- which seems like the kind of thing you'd want to consult an Iraq-bound client about.
As for Rhodes' letter, in which she states her intention to file a bar complaint against her former attorney, Taitz writes:
I don't know if this letter came from her, since she is in Iraq now and the Office -max store from where it came, states that they don't send faxes for customers. The signature on her notarized letter from Kansas and this letter looks different.Not to go too far down the rabbit hole, but the Rhodes letter, which was filed with the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia, checks out as far as it can be checked.
