    Usually someone would use a person’s own words against them as a final argument; a final slap in the face. Willis gets that out of the way on page 1 and goes on to bury the man.

    I read the whole thing, it’s brilliant.

    I half expected an aside of “And I will strike down upon thee With great vengeance and furious anger Those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers…”

    It was the main part of my comment I made earlier. That’s my favorite part of her letter: the “keep fucking with me and get embarrassed” part.

      Yah man. First is a reply on a legal basis, then she explicitly says “I was well within my legal rights to just throw this thing in the trash, but I feel it’s useful to reply, so I did. Now that we’ve got the legal business squared away, this part is addressed to you on a more personal level.” Then it gets un-legal, and ends by referring him to exhibits F through O.

      I mean, in the grand scheme I do feel like actions are more important than letters. But she’s also taking some incredibly ballsy and wonderful actions, and this letter in addition is a fucking masterpiece.

        I also felt the exhibits were included in a specific quantity and order that left a big F O in the middle of that section. I love how she gives him a list of actually useful things Congress could do instead, gives him a lesson on what attorneys actually do, & references rapists and serial rapists (what else comes up if you Google Willis’ letter contents? Probably stuff about Ohio State, or eventually will when the crawlers index it).

        I ended up reading the whole thing, because it was so damn good to hear someone tell him to shut the fuck up, professionally.

    That was a good read, it’s a shame jordon doesn’t actually care. He just wants the five second sound bite on Fox where he looks like he’s doing something to suck the orange deities mushroom.

    He’s just a lapdog.

      Yeah, agreed. Fortunately Willis is also working on putting actual physical people in actual physical prison, in addition to writing maybe-inconsequential letters to respond to other inconsequential letters.
