Last month Lin Wood sued the State Bar of Georgia’s disciplinary board, claiming its request for him to undergo a mental health exam in order to keep his law license violated his First Amendment rights.

Turns out that might not’ve been the QAnon-promoting lawyer’s smartest move.

In court filings this week in response to Wood’s lawsuit, the disciplinary board said Wood’s failure to undergo a mental health exam wouldn’t automatically see his license suspended—because it was just one part of a much broader investigation into Wood’s behavior.

And according to an outline of the investigation in those documents, Wood is facing an uphill struggle to hold onto his license, because his well-documented unhinged behavior, in and out of the courtroom, appears to make a mental health evaluation almost superfluous.

Besides Wood’s spreading of baseless conspiracy theories about the election, the State Bar of Georgia’s disciplinary board says it’s also investigating his physical and verbal attacks on former law colleagues, his claim that he was going to become Chief Justice of the Supreme Court based on a prophecy that he heard on YouTube, and claims that he seems to believe he is God.

“I will deliver a fiery judgment against you on earth. Who the fuck did you think you were dealing with? You were screwing around with me, but I was someone else in disguise. You in fact have been screwing around with God Almighty,” Wood wrote in an email sent in the middle of the night to a dozen former colleagues in February 2020.
