ExxonMobil fended off two of the investigations launched by liberal attorneys general into the oil giants alleged campaign to mislead the public on global warming.
U.S. Virgin Islands Attorney General (AG) Claude Walker has withdrawn the subpoena he sent Exxon as part of his anti-racketeering investigation, and Massachusetts AG Maura Healeys office has agreed to temporarily suspend enforcing her subpoena.
After conferring on the matter, the parties mutually agreed that Attorney General Walker will withdraw the subpoena and ExxonMobil will stipulate to the dismissal without prejudice of this action, reads a legal filing submitted to the court Thursday by Exxon and Walker that was obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation.
Walker also withdrew his subpoena to the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI), a libertarian think tank, in May. Walker demanded CEI turnover records going back 20 years as part of the anti-racketeering probe against Exxon. CEI pushed back and is still pursuing sanctions against Walker for allegedly violating the groups constitutional rights.

ExxonMobil fended off two of the investigations launched by liberal attorneys general into the oil giants alleged campaign to mislead the public on something that does NOT exist.

Does that mean ExxonMobil is agreeing not to come after the AG with a counter-suit? Seems like EM is letting the AG off way too easily here. AG was obviously abusing their power for political ends, and gets a pass...
They’ll have more flexibility after the election.
Seems like the dimocrats have included going after deniers in their party platform. “You WILL believe and never again voice opposition to glow bull climate alteration!”
“You get nothing! Good day, sir!”
