In a sane world, no.
Securities fraud and Global Warming ,well the fiction writers will be working overtime on this trial . Na ,I think it will be settled out of court and Exxon Mobile will be believers, Extortion the Chicago way
Can you commit securities fraud by telling the truth? If you go against leftist lies they think so. For me, they committed fraud with their lies.
EXACTLY !
These A-holes are going to force a lie to be a truth if they have to bankrupt the entire World doing so.
US Rep. Ted Lieu (D) of California is an idiot.

This is past suspicious, considering this happened just after ExxonMobil discontinued their contributions to Clinton Foundation. It doesn't get any easier than this to connect the dots.
No...the fraud didn’t occur until Exxon was blackmailed into supporting the notion of manmade climate change.
Rush has Algore’s count down clock to Armageddon and there are only 77 days left . The Paris Party Must Save The World !!!
See, the trick here is to accuse the company of doing something, but not actually accuse them of doing it, as if you do, you get to go to court and have the lovely job of trying to PROVE it.
Not something that any climate change (global warming, global cooling, global whatever we can do to control others and drive first world countries into third world hell holes...) advocate really wants to do.
We must NATIONALIZE Exxon and make them pay for their climate changey injustices! /s
Exxon is now in the unfortunate position of having to answer:
“Were you lying then, or are you lying now?”
Since they’ve caved and now pretend to believe in manmade climate change.
They are trying to provide context so Obama can issue climate directives.
What a completely absurd question.
OF COURSE NOT!
And what of: Auto and truck makers, engine builders, power companies, chemical companies and on and on and on?
Don’t confuse me with the facts
How can you commit securities fraud when there is No such thing as climate change?At least man made climate change.
The Attorney General or prosecutors should be held liable for fraud.
Exxon has lots of money; and a great defense.
Exxon is building a $6 billion expansion project in Baytown, TX, where I live. If some government lawyer thinks they can be intimidated; good luck with that.
I doubt the government is going to enjoy the discovery process
Where is that mutant Henry Waxman? He would be the perfect schmuck to go after Big Oil like he did Big Tobacco. It sounds like the same exact witchhunt actually.
NY Attorney General Schneiderman forgot he was elected by the people of New York to represent their consumer interests
He overlooked (Democratic)Asseblyman Sheldon Silver getting money from lawyers involved in litigation which he promoted ,
He overlooked (GOPee ) Senate Chairman Skelos who got his son an income and a 'no-show ' job thru extorsion.
He forgot the "Three Men In a ROOM" who decide New York politics behind closed doors,
He quit investigating corruption in NYS when told to do so by the third man in the room , Gov. Cuomo ,
but he rmmembered to go after 'big pockets' over psyhco-science of GLOW-BULL wrming
since CUOMO has a bridge to pay for going to New York CIty !!
That's not what got him elected !!
He's not doing his job, .. why he was elected , for the citizens of New York State !
> “Did ExxonMobil commit securities fraud by denying climate change?”
No one should deny climate change because it happens as surely as the Earth revolves around the Sun.
However, man-made Climate Change is a fraud and Exxon should not be disclosing any risk to a fraud.
