Hillary Clinton is calling for a federal investigation of ExxonMobil’s climate change activities just months after the company neglected to renew its sponsorship of the Clinton Global Initiative annual meeting.

ExxonMobil, which is being accused by global warming activists of misleading the public about climate change, has given between $ 1 million and $5 million to the Clinton Foundation and sponsored the CGI annual meeting in 2014. But this year, the oil giant was one of six major corporations that stopped sponsoring the event, according to USA Today.

Welcome to the world that the modern Democrat Party wants. You will obey, you will comply, you will give money to us, or else.

I didn't know "denying climate change" was against the law.

Can someone please cite the clause, section or whatever?

In other (more traditional) words: Nice little company you've got there, Exxon. It would be a shame if something happened to it.

There ya go folks. That’s EXACTLY what the progs/libs/dims want climate change rules for.

Just ask the IRS. Oh, nevermind...the IRS took the 5th.

Hey Hillary!

YOU are just a common citizen WITHOUT STANDING!

The fact that a corporation decided to quit funding your shakedown scheme is NOT a criminal matter.

That's exactly what I was going to ask! This is *insanity*, it can't be denied, not by any reasonable person anyway. Which I guess excludes liberals by definition.

Why even go through the motions of "probing them for environmental malfeasance"? Just say what you mean anymore just say, "we're going to wring you dry of cash in legal fees because you dared to stop giving us money". Everyone knows this is the reason, even the liberals (although they won't admit it)

Actualky I'm surprised Exxon did this took courage. They had to know the retaliation would be quick and not really caring about appearances.

I agree but it doesn’t matter because the lush was working for Exxon, so of course blame the corporation and not the individual, except if you work in DC.

More and more I see no difference between the democrat machine and organized crime.

All I can hope for is that RICO statutes come into play with the new administration.

Unless it’s headed by the head criminal her own self.

So.... the Clinton Empire has become so big that we all turn a blind eye to blatant EXTORTION?

I am sure the media will report that a high ranking government official and presidential candidate is involved in extortion.
I’m sure the media will report it... no?

Media: What? What story? Nope nothing here.

if this piece of shit doesn’t go to jail for her many many illegalities then there is something seriously wrong with America.
If she skates and becomes pres then I will NEVER again have anything but contempt for Justice, our federal gub mint or anything having to do with this corrupt federal everything.

Joe Boucher. You gotta keep up. The contempt level has been reached already. You’ll need to upgrade to Ultra Contempt Gold Card Level now.
