This whole thing is weird on a bunch of levels.
Problems:
Klayman really pushes his marketing by regularly linking himself with Judicial Watch. Although he founded it, he was pushed out, and replaced by the very effective Tom Fitton.

So he comes off like he's peddling bull shit.
Klayman, is most favorably described as a Don Quixote.

And yet, he's Arpaio's attourney in a defimation case against CNN and Klayman has been involved with Arpaio since the birther stuff.
As has POTUS.

Given Nunues suit and the Covington suit against the media, it seems hard to believe this isn't a multi-pronged attack.
But this Montgomery stuff is either crap (my guess. Arapaio's audit of Montgomery's skills failed and while Klayman worked on birther stuff, Montgomery was banned) or so toxic, the whole swamp is terrified-although Montgomery turned over all his hard drives of snatched data to the FBI. The case was dismissed by the DC circuit rather breezily.
Just seen this stuff too many times (shilly) and wanted to see what to make of it.
For the most part the case is dead now for over 6 months. The Montgomery matter has nowhere to go IMHO.
