The attorney general of the U.S. Virgin Islands is targeting dozens of conservative and libertarian organizations in a racketeering lawsuit against climate change skeptics that has been widely described as an effort to silence political opponents.
In a subpoena issued in March, the office of USVI attorney general Claude Walker demanded from Exxon Mobil copies of communications between the oil company and 90 different political and policy organizations “and any other organizations engaged in research or advocacy concerning Climate Change or policies.”
The subpoena was part of a national, coordinated legal campaign by state attorneys general and left-wing advocacy groups to use the legal system against companies and organizations that disagree with and advocate against Democratic policies to address global climate change.
The existence of the subpoena was first reported by the Wall Street Journal in April. A newly released copy obtained by the Washington Free Beacon reveals the names of the organizations targeted in the effort, which had previously been redacted.

I see a growing pattern of such legal actions attacking "groups" on racketeering or conspiracy charges. Guilt by association assumed.
It is a total subversion of our established legal system by the US DOJ. They are not directly bringing this action, but clearly are behind it.
I miss the rule of law and pray there will be a day of reckoning.

They must be made to suffer for what they have done - and to ensure that people like this never hold public office again.
well, why doesn’t someone sue all the many people and scientists and labs and whatever that have been caught lying in their reports.
they could also be sued for spreading panic for thirty years with prediction after prediction that doesn’t come true just to keep making money.
i dont understand legal stuff. But there must be something in all that.
“Walker’s subpoena is part of a coordinated effort by Democratic attorneys general...”
Democratic or Democrat?

I am no member of ANY organization that might become scrutinized by the Mulatto administration’s ‘witch hunt’ for non-orthodoxy of climate worship.
The weather has always changed, sometimes more than once a day, for all of the 64 years I have been alive, and has done so for the 93 years life of my great-uncle, prior to that. And all of that time was before ‘al gore the great’, had his midnight solo-manipulation epiphany of ‘climate change’.
There is no means created by man, that can make me change my 64 year hardened belief, that the weather does what it does, whether the Mulatto-in-Charge spits in the wind, or I release, in great pleasure, the result of ingesting a wondeful plate of New England Baked Beans, hot dogs and New England Brown Bread with butter.
Wake me when the shooting starts
Music to Trump’s ears. Bring it on dummies, bring it on.
The AG is prosecuting the round earthers because they won’t accept the premise that the world is flat even if they see the earth casts a round shadow onto the moon during a lunar eclipse.
Discovery works two ways, what are they going to do when forced to provide theirs and it is all lies and cooked data?
LMAO Well said.
