1st of all, Marty—Great fucking letter.
As far as I can predict, you called his feeble bluff and they are
folding. You’re the legal mind, but I can’t see how they would
gain from responding. They knew there was nothing that you had
done, nor anything they could do (legally) but they gave it a shot
anyway. It seems like a nebulous and poorly planned attempt to
either intimidate you (as if a letter from Bert Fields should make
you quiver in your boots) or, more likely, an attempt to shame you into some sort of introverted posture. I don’t know. To me it feels like Bertie had a pre-mature ejaculation. He pulled the
trigger but the gun wasn’t loaded.
The only other thing I can think of is that perhaps Bert wants to
remind you that he is on Tom’s legal-lines and if you do abuse his
name or reputation in the future, he’ll come after you–sort of a
pre-emptive strike. I think Tom and/or DM’s withholds are being
missed by all the fuss you’ve stirred up and they’re afraid you
might besmirch Tom as DM besmirched you. In a nutshell: you’re
creating big effects; dm is playing dirty and dm is telling Tom you are going to do exactly what Miscavige himself IS doing (criminal mind). Tom is apparently worried (missed w/h). Hopefully he is thinking about all this – which really is the first step onto the rough, rough road to coming to terms with what he has become (which is the 1st step to his salvation).
I don’t think he (Bert) will call you and I don’t think he’ll
respond in any real way (if at all) to your letter. He’s not TC’s
daddy, he’s his lawyer—I think he sees that this is potentially
dangerous for him professionally so he’s going to try to not-is it.
The irony is, he is the one, I suspect, that is intimidated now.
He knows who you are. He has nowhere to go on this—seems like a lose/lose sit for him.
I doubt it was his idea. As i said, it is so ill-planned
and based on misinformation. A good lawyer (and Bert is one of the best) is cut and dry and factual—his letter sounds like a high school cheerleader in a catfight. For Bert Fields to resort to calling you names is only an indication that he doesn’t have a case. I think that DM is third partying you to Tom and Tom is accepting it as gospel and told Bert to handle it-poor Bert knew (after he did his due diligence and fact-checked the accusations) that he didn’t have a leg to stand on but he couldn’t tell his screaming client that Jesus Miscavige gave him false information…
