MAGA Congressman Mo Brooks Keeps Dodging Capitol Riot Lawsuit, Attorney Says
HIDE AND SEEK

If you see Rep. Mo Brooks hiding in a bush or a broom closet, maybe this could help explain why. According to a lawyer for Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), the Alabama Republican keeps dodging efforts to serve him with a lawsuit that accuses him of inciting the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. PunchBowl reports that Swalwell’s legal team has successfully managed to serve the complaint to its three other defendants—Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Rudy Giuliani—but Brooks has avoided all attempts so far. PunchBowl reports that Swalwell’s team even hired private investigators to help track down Brooks and serve him the legal papers, but he evaded those efforts too. The congressman appeared at the pro-Trump rally before the Jan. 6 insurrection and ordered the crowd to “start taking down names and kicking ass!” Swalwell’s lawyer, Philip Andonian, accused Brooks of making a “political stunt” out the “formality” of being served. The congressman didn’t comment on the PunchBowl report.

1. these cowards

2. Don't know what the rules are in DC

But in Oregon, when a defendant is dodging service of process, the plaintiff can ask the court for permission to serve the defendant by publication. It's kind of humiliating for a well-to-do defendant to be the subject of service by publication, but if that's the way Mo wants it.

3. Coward doesn't want to face the music ... Makes me think that he already knows he's guilty, eh?, ...

otherwise, why is he avoiding being served/etc.? Why is he avoiding an opportunity to mouth off w/ the free press that would surround him at every moment once he gets indicted? Perhaps because he knows he's guilty.

I think that if people are smart, they should start running nonstop public messages (6 seconds in length or so), regarding brooks and why is he avoiding the rule of law, avoid being served? Perhaps he's guilty as charged?
