You don’t spit into the wind,
\nYou don’t pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger
\nAnd you don’t mess around with Jim.<\/p>\n

In this case, “Jim” = Judge Robert Gettleman.\u00a0 And he’s none too happy with our good buddy, infomercial scam artiste and all-around shyster Kevin Trudeau<\/a>. Why?<\/p>\n

Chicago Breaking News Center Has the details…<\/a><\/p>\n

An angry Gettleman had called Trudeau before him after his e-mail was inundated when Trudeau asked followers to contact the judge<\/p>\n

Gettleman said he continued to get e-mail from Trudeau followers even during the contempt hearing. “They’re in a sense attacking me as I’m sitting here,” the judge said.<\/p>\n

Trudeau has been the subject of a civil lawsuit before Gettleman brought by the Federal Trade Commission. He did not address the judge during today’s hearing.<\/p>\n

Trudeau’s lawyer told Gettleman that Trudeau’s e-mail subscribers have been warned to stop e-mailing the judge. The attorney, Kimball Anderson, pointed out that a new posting by Trudeau on his Web site characterizes the request for his followers to e-mail the judge as “a mistake.”<\/p>\n

During an earlier hearing today, Gettleman said he had no doubt Trudeau was trying to “harass the court and interfere with my processes.” The e-mails will spur the U.S. marshals to look at whether the action represented a threat to the judge.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

LOL!\u00a0 Characterizing it as a “mistake” is the understatement of the year. You do NOT mess with U.S. District Court judges. You do NOT send your winged monkeys to harass them with threatening and\/or unhinged e-mails. I can’t think of too many stunts dumber than this one.<\/p>\n

Here’s the news vid:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

I hope the judge throws the book at this jerk.\u00a0 He’s earned it, many times over<\/a>.<\/p>\n
