Well, Klayman technically didn’t conduct the depo, he’s repping Loomer!

I'm not a CivPro person, So I need to ask. Klayman's law license was suspended for 18 months by DC. Can he continue to practice despite his appeal? (Which seems to have dropped on 8/7 where they upheld his suspension)

I dunno, but the suspension was in Sept. 2022 (was it tolled? delayed? did the reciprocal discipline run differently?) so it could easily be over by the time of the June 2025 deposition.

The suspension order I saw was dated June 30, 2024. But i dont know about CivPro and Local Rules and the whatnbot

It looks like the 2024 was the DC BPR, which was then appealed, and the appeal opinion issued Aug. 7, 2025 (last week!). It seems that the suspension was tolled until then, as there was a pending stay motion. (This is also well outside the realm of what most would call "civpro.")

Which should mean that his representation of Ms. Loomer would be within bounds as this Deposition was prior to the 8/7 ruling?

That seems a reasonable interpretation, but really I don't know. And it's unclear how instantly such things take effect. Both the DC BPR and the DC federal District Court show him as currently suspended right now, idk. But there's no chance that opposing counsel in the Florida action is unaware!

Oh, gosh I missed the BY MS. BOLGER Yikes. Anyhow, this seems like sanctionable deposition conduct, but I suppose that's the least of anyone's worries? I dunno. (not even sure why this depo was filed though, so…maybe. *starts to read p.1 — OH NO I CAN'T GO DOWN THIS RABBIT HOLE.)

But you caaaaaaaaaaan...

Loomer'a team filed it in the public docket. When Maher moved to have it sealed, Loomer's crazy ass went on a victory lap claiming Maher's team is so scared they're begging the judge to silence Loomer. This isn't a real lawsuit. It's a transparent SLAPP and Loomer isn't even pretending otherwise.

Link is broken, but also leaving a drive-by appreciation for the summary.

That wasn't supposed to be a link. I just fat fingered Loomer and initially hit . Instead of m. I didn't realize it still tried to populate the link. 😂

Ah, gotcha. I can never be sure with the different URL shortening services out there (only one I recognize on sight is TinyURL).

Bill Maher thoroughly deserves Loomer.

Agreed. I wish there was a way they could both lose.

Thanks for summarizing, that was helpful.

Klayman sounded dangerously like the reasonable lawyer in that room.

I am sure it was just for a moment .....

Unrelated, Loomer seems to be presenting herself as a kind of MAGA nun, having taken an oath of celibacy to serve her leader. Trump, of course, is not reciprocating.
