You Oughtta Have Your Head Examined, GA Bar Tells Lin Wood. Or Else.

You make one tweet calling the Chief Justice a pedophile, and people lose their shit!

It’s been a rough week for attorney Lin Wood. Booted off Twitter, fired by his high-profile client Nicholas Sandmann, and now this.

In a Telegram post to “My Followers,” the attorney wrote, “I am fighting battles on every front. The State Bar of Georgia told me today they would demand a mental health exam from me if I wanted to keep my law license. My mind is sound. I have broken no rules. I asked what I had done wrong, I was only told it was about my social media comments. My speech.”

Well, yes. Wood’s speech included multiple tweets attacking Chief Justice Roberts as a pedophile murderer who had foreknowledge of Justice Antonin Scalia’s death.

“My information from reliable source is that Roberts arranged an illegal adoption of two young children from Wales through Jeffrey Epstein,” he tweeted in December, adding later, “Before attacking me, maybe fair-minded people would first ask Roberts to tell the truth. Or ask Jeffrey Epstein. He is alive.”

His former law partners say he suffers from delusions of grandeur and thinks he may be Jesus reincarnated.

“I might actually be Christ coming back for a second time in the form of an imperfect man, elevating Christ consciousness,” Law & Crime quotes from the firm’s post-implosion litigation. “That cause you to have a little bit of a chill? Who would be more eloquent to say what the will of God is, the belief of God in me.”

“I try to live a principled life. There is no basis for the Bar’s demand. But am I choosing my battles carefully?” wonders the lawyer who recently wrote on Parler, “Get the firing squads ready. Pence goes FIRST.” and called the former vice president a “child molester.”

How crazy do you have to be when Parler is censoring you? Dunno! Ask Lin Wood!

Reuters reporter Jan Wolfe confirmed with State Bar of Georgia Chief Operating Officer Sarah Coole that the attorney had been asked to submit to a mental health evaluation, but declined to say whether the Bar made the request sua sponte or as a result of a complaint.

As in his quixotic effort to overturn the election, Wood remains defiant. He plans to “spend some time tonight talking with My Perfect Father and My Best Friend to ask Him what he wants to do about these attacks.” But at the same time he vows to fight on, writing, “I do not believe God has brought me this far to stop fighting now. I know he did instill within me a spirit of fear and I know I have never been a quitter.”

Quitter? Try NUTTER.

Well, we hope he gets the help he needs.
