Hey, Guys, I seem to have missed Judicial Watch's press release telling everybody that the motion for sanctions, etc., which Larry Klayman was screaming that he would file against the Bush administration was heard and denied by the court handling the Notra Trulock case. According to the Docket Sheet, several motions were heard on November 30, 2001. On December 3, 2001, the court entered orders in accordance with its rulings from the bench at that hearing. Among other things, the following orders were entered.

"Motion by Notra Trulock III to Compel the United States Department of Energy to Comply with Subpoena and Produce Documents is DENIED;.... Motion by Notra Trulock III to Compel the United States to Produce Documents and Make Third Party Witnesses Available for Deposition is DENIED;.... Motion by Notra Trulock III for Sanctions for Violation of Magistrate Jones' Order of 7/11/01 is DENIED;.... Motion by Notra Trulock III for an Order to Show Cause Why the United States Should not be in Contempt for Violation of Magistrate Jones' Order of 7/11/01 is DENIED."

Now, why, oh why would Larry Klayman made such a big whoop-te-do about filing this motion and then not even mention to those of us who hang on his every word the fact that it had been DENIED by the trial court? Could it be that he sees value in getting the adoring masses stirred up by pretending that he has filed something which has meaning when in fact it does not, and that he never really expects to prevail or even cares if he does not because he will simply not tell anyone when he has lost/given up?

This is a pattern -- file a bogus claim/suit/motion. Fire off press releases, hold press conferences, send out fund raising letters, etc. about how this case/development, etc. is "it" -- the thing that will finally break open the Clinton scandals. When the court pours you out or you just quietly dismiss the case, say nothing about it to the contributors and keep on raising money.

I think that poor Mr. Trulock was sorely mistreated, and I hope that he finds justice for the wrongs done to him. He is not to blame for Klayman's antics. He deserves better.
