Word comes from an anonymous source (blowing kisses) that a recent deposition in the JACC lawsuit turned into Drama-O-Rama as public figure Ben Myers and his attorney "stormed out" when asked whether JACC owns any office equipment. (Photo above shows the empty space formerly occupied by a JACC-owned computer)
The question--though innocuous enough, and informative as to whether the "Old Majority" JACC really exists in any solid, we-have-an-office kind of way, was certainly geared toward getting information about JACC's long missing office equipment, removed in the dark and dead of night at the time of the "New Majority" ouster of "Old Majority" JACC officers. This blog has been the most extensive source of coverage about that ongoing North Minneapolis soap opera. (And, I might add, the soap opera is actively looking for sponsors, hint hint)
According to a post on the Jordan Livability Blog, the entire deposition was videotaped. To which I have a one word editorial comment: GIMME!!!!
My source (which may be second or third hand, but is surely anonymous and I expect my source to stay that way) says the question was not just refused once, and there were promises and/or threats made to end the deposition proceeding if the question kept being asked--but finally the question was pressed forward, insistently. At that point, both Ben Myers and his attorney, Jill Clark, walked off while the camera was rolling.
Well, sort of. Apparently there was an awkward, vicariously embarrassing push-versus-pull moment with the exit door which was truly cringe-worthy to those who witnessed it.
What can I say? (Outrageous political parody alert) My twin brother Ben was a breech birth. Portals have always been difficult for him, and his gut-level instinct is to do everything ass backwards.
My source says...
...Defendant Attorney David Schooler kept looking at the camera, asking stuff like, "Are you refusing to answer that question about whether JACC has office equipment?" or words to that effect. Schooler reportedly managed to pin down Ben Myers about whether the "Old JACC" Kool-Aid Cult (my characterization, obviously) was having JACC meetings or not, and whether the meetings were properly publicized beforehand.
Ben Myers was reportedly put in a position of having to say the meetings were not "official JACC meetings" because there were no announcements. (This blog is open to receiving information from all sources, including those with contrary or contextual info, and an anonymous comment function is available)
There was also apparently talk of Defendant Anne McCandless having a "special relationship" with the authorities due to her years as a police officer. (Yes, so special that "Real JACC" can't manage to get the cops to go fetch the office equipment and arrest somebody, as this blog reported before in detail)
Sigh. You gotta wonder where this is all going. But where else will you find out?
RIGHT HERE, BABY!!!
