The New York Attorney General’s Office is investigating whether ExxonMobil made “significant misrepresentations” about the risks posed by climate change to its shareholders.

Now, don’t tell anyone. But I use an alias when posting on FreeRepublic. My real name is not “Tenacious1”.

Also, I have other aliases and even e-mail addresses that I sometimes use on other sites.

(Please keep this a secret)

Not sure where I am seeing anything illegal there?

There isn't anything illegal, but Exxon was being shaken down by the Obama administration, which they were resisting.

Obama was using the SEC to threaten Exxon, claiming that they were misleading their shareholders by not disclosing internal studies on climate change. Exxon claimed the studies were proprietary, and the Obama SEC was claiming that it was proof of disputing "settled science" or something.

In either case, they were using the shareholders as an excuse to claim malfeasance by Exxon. Now they're trying to make it look like Tillerson was hiding something by not using his corporate email to discuss what Exxon "knew" about climate change.

The illegality would be questioning the settled science of climate change, I suppose.....

Who cares how Tillerson did email at Exxon? He could have had his email set up as anything he wants and not violated any laws or gubmint regulations. Pretty much everybody used private email with aliases in the Obamadork admin to avoid using official email systems for official business in violation of all kinds of laws and gubmint regulations. Nobody in the MSM cared a whit or said much about the actual violations by the Obamaroids.

This is the case: https://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/06/science/exxon-mobil-under-investigation-in-new-york-over-climate-statements.html?_r=0

Note that the AG Shneiderman has been wasting tax-payer money since 2015.

The NY AG is a hack. He has been beating this drum for quite some time.

I’m using an alias right now. So what? Privacy is a right except when it is agreeably forfeit.

so now it’s a crime to present facts that differ from the global warming scam? What are we? North Korea now? Or China? Where it is against the law to contradict the leaders?

Correctly if I am wrong, but didn’t Obama use an alias when communicating with Hillary on her private server that he knew nothing about?
