Bob “Crooksy” Brooks was briefly in court today. His former mother-in-law is suing him again, since he still hasn’t paid her back any money that two courts found that he owed her. His basic argument against paying up is “tough shit.” From Lehigh Valley News:

Wiley sued the Moore Township couple in February, alleging they are trying to hide assets to avoid paying her more than $162,000 from a previous lawsuit.

In a court filing this month, the Brookses denied the allegations and argued that Wiley has missed her window to bring new litigation.

Sounds familiar. His argument against her when he lost the initial lawsuit for not paying was that she waited too long to sue him. Not that he didn’t sign the promissory note in 2008, not that he tried to pay her back and she declined, not even that he couldn’t afford to pay her back at any point from 2004 until 2018. His argument was that she waited too long to collect. Basically tough shit, you old hag. Bob “Crooksy” Brooks ain’t paying her a dime, too late.

Of course the courts laughed at Crooksy and awarded her not only the initial $55k, but all the interest and other costs and ran that number up over $162,000. So Deadbeat Bob had a master plan- quitclaim the property to his new wife, who has the same name as his old wife, and hope no one notices. And for a while, apparently no one did.

Here’s the facts, as told by Lehigh Valley News, again:

Bob Brooks and Wiley have been entangled in litigation since 2018 over a 2008 promissory note.

Brooks and his first wife, Jennifer Lynn, had agreed to pay her parents $55,000 at 6% annual interest, but paid only about $100 over 10 years.

In 2018, Wiley sued her daughter and Bob Brooks, who had divorced by then, for the overdue payment.

A Northampton County judge ruled in Wiley’s favor in 2020, and an appellate court upheld the ruling in 2022. In the newest suit, Wiley said Brooks has yet to pay her and now owes her $162,586.

Wiley also accused Brooks and his second wife, Jennifer Lynne, of creating a fraudulent deed over a Moore Township property.

After Bob Brooks and his first wife divorced, he took sole ownership possession of their 1-acre property. However, Jennifer Lynn never signed the paperwork that would have removed her name from the deed.

In 2022, Brooks and his second wife Jennifer Lynne transferred the property solely to Jennifer Lynne Brooks.

Wiley contended in the latest lawsuit that Jennifer Lynne Brooks shouldn’t have been able to sign away Jennifer Lynn’s claim on the property.

Confusion over the two women’s names likely allowed the document to slip past county officials, Wiley argued. She is asking the court to throw out the quitclaim deed and award her punitive damages for the Brookses’ alleged misdeeds.

In a response filed this month, attorney Moore called on the court to dismiss the lawsuit. Wiley had a five-year period to file a lien or seek her damages, which he argued ended in September 2025.

In addition, Ryan argued that the Brookses are within their legal rights to put the home in Jennifer Lynne Brooks’ name.

While the paperwork over the property’s ownership has lagged, Bob Brooks was effectively the property’s only owner following the divorce.

Jennifer Lynne Brooks gained a right to the property after she married him, and the quitclaim deed showed the couple transferring the rights from the two of them to solely Jennifer Lynne Brooks.

“We stand by the defenses asserted in our preliminary objections,” Moore said in a statement Wednesday afternoon. “We believe that they are strong and that we will prevail.”

Deadbeat Bob got one over on everyone here. It seems logically possible that if his ex-wife literally gave up her claim to the house in the divorce, Crooksy may have a legal right to give it his new wife entirely. Of course, he initially lost the lawsuit in 2020 and quitclaimed the house over to his new wife in 2022, so for two years he held the property and wasn’t paying his debt, but he was appealing the case at the time. At a minimum though, it appears that Deadbeat Bob quitclaimed the property in 2022, as he was losing the appeal, in an effort to shield the property from the court’s order to pay up. I’m not a lawyer and have no idea if he can actually shield the property this way from a court order. At least not from a legal stand point. I also don’t know exactly when the five year clock for her to sue over this misleading act began or ended.

I do know this though- Bob “Crooksy” Brooks signed a promissory note to pay money back to his family. He basically paid none of it, only paying $100 on $55,000. He got sued. Deadbeat Bob lost. Deadbeat Crooksy then tried to hide his assets in an effort to evade a court ruling that he lost. He may legally get away with that, I’ll let the people making the big bucks figure it out. Deadbeat Bob is absolutely truthfully, if not legally, a deadbeat crook for not paying his court ordered debts to another person.

I also know this- this case will not be over before the primary. Crooksy’s next day in court over this is in June. It probably won’t end then. In fact, this lawsuit probably won’t end before November. I also know that a Republican is the Pennsylvania Attorney General and a Republican appointee is the U.S. Attorney. If Deadbeat Bob gets nominated for Congress in swing PA-7, they will probably open investigations into whether he is committing fraud or mortgage crimes here. And the House Ethics Committee will almost certainly investigate the claim filed against Crooksy if he’s the nominee. This will hang over the race all the way through, and if he somehow became Congressman, probably beyond that.

I know one more thing- Republicans. While Crooksy was agreeing with them on Obama, guns, racism, political violence, and God know’s what else, I was working for Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden. Republicans run brutal campaigns, and they’re effective too. They are going to remind voters every single day that he stiffed his mother-in-law, that he is being sued for not paying her, and that he’ll be under investigation, not to mention the stuff he’s apologized for online. Here’s the thing too, a lot of times Republicans embellish things, as they did against Susan Wild in 2024, in unfair attacks. They don’t have to do that to Deadbeat Bob. A court already found that Deadbeat Bob Brooks deserves the name “Crooksy.” All they have to do is repeat that.
