The AG's with a political agenda against Exxon

Chris Horner:

On Oct. 13, a federal court in Ft. Worth, Texas ruled that Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey is subject to legal “discovery” by ExxonMobil. This turns the tables on the Attorney General (AG), who had demanded the company’s records as part of an investigation into whether public statements about climate change and related policies rise to the level of lawbreaking. Key to this ruling was Healey’s words and deeds as part of a “climate change and energy coalition” of state Attorneys General.

The court is considering whether to enjoin (block) Healey’s subpoena previously issued for decades of Exxon’s records. After this win ExxonMobil promptly sought to also enjoin New York AG Eric Schneiderman’s similar pursuit.

The court cited public records obtained by myself and the Energy & Environment Legal Institute (E&E Legal) from one of Healey’s coalition partners. Since then, we have obtained many more records, affirming the court’s “concern” that this coalition is pursuing a political, not a legal agenda.

These records detail a public-private partnership with environmentalist pressure group lobbyists and contingency-fee lawyers looking to surmount the failure of the climate agenda through the proper democratic process.

Since E&E Legal began extracting and publicizing these records, Schneiderman and Healey’s erstwhile AG partners have all fled. One email shows the Delaware AG leaving the coalition in response to being informed of freedom of information requests. It seems that these AGs are aware of that details of their scheming will not play well.

Healey has temporarily put her effort on hold, while Schneiderman continues to plow on, alone, abandoned by his wingmen and under pressure from three lawsuits filed by E&E Legal and some concerned New York citizens, all seeking more documentation of the affair. Despite Healey and Schneiderman refusing to let the public see the details, correspondence has flowed from other AG offices.

There is much more.

This has the appearance of a shakedown operation by liberals and their cohorts in the environmental movement.  The easy way to disprove that appearance would be for them to produce the requested documents.

One of the problems with the environmental movement is that many of its adherents have a messianic belief in their mission that ignores facts inconsistent with their theories.  I have yet to see any of these groups explain which of their assumption in their computer model is invalid and leading them to be wildly wrong on a historical basis.
