A federal judge has advised two Democratic attorneys general leading the charge against ExxonMobil to appear for pretrial testimony on their climate-change investigations.
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman and Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey are scheduled to undergo depositions by Exxon attorneys on Dec. 13 in Dallas, according to the Thursday order by U.S. District Court Judge Ed Kinkeade.
Exxon is challenging the prosecutors’ subpoenas demanding thousands of documents and communications related to probes into whether the company committed fraud by misleading the public about its research on global warming.
Exxon has argued that the investigations are politically motivated “witch hunts” that violate the First Amendment, while the Democrats have countered that “fraud” is not protected by the Constitution. . .

Wouldn’t it be funny if the Judge flips this on the attorneys? Can we now expect the goobermint to drop the case?
This could get really interesting if these rat ags were getting funding from those who profit with the phoney Gorebull warming bs.
Why do I sense/feel this is another outreach to help America from Trump.

This is going to be good. Two leftist assholes on the hot seat. Anything they say in a sworn deposition can be used against them in a court of law.
I’ve worked with depositions and they are a powerful weapon in the hands of a skilled questioner, esp. if they know something that the deponent doesn’t that will bring into serious question their honesty or degree of knowledge.
This is one show to watch.
Schneiderman, he looks like such a weasel. I would love to see him get caught with a perjury charge and put in prison.
