Many of us will have felt the grip of claustrophobic isolation over the past year, but the lawyer Steven Donziger has experienced an extreme, very personal confinement as a pandemic arrived and then raged around him in New York City.
On Sunday, Donziger reached his 600th day of an unprecedented house arrest that has resulted from a sprawling, Kafkaesque legal battle with the oil giant Chevron. Donziger spearheaded a lengthy crusade against the company on behalf of tens of thousands of Indigenous people in the Amazon rainforest whose homes and health were devastated by oil pollution, only to himself become, as he describes it, the victim of a “planned targeting by a corporation to destroy my life”.

His problem is, he got caught.
The Guardian piece (by Milman) reads like "Oh Poor Innocent Steven" but the US district court case and Appeal reads like a really good Organized Crime non fiction expose.
Just give me a good internet connection and lock me away.
It is clear, Donzinger is a criminal of high order.
Interesting. “A group of Oriente residents, represented by New York City lawyer Donziger, among others, commenced a class action against Texaco in the Southern District of New York in 1993, seeking billions of dollars in damages.”
Donzinger tried to get $8 billion dollars from Chevron and lost. He needs to get a new hobby, such as gardening.
Yep, this carefully crafted environmental disinformation is simply unreported in the Media. I read a half dozen articles on Donzinger, and all were sob stories about how difficult the court has made his life to divert attention from his bribery, extortion and evidence tampering.
Ten years on and the entire Western Media is still trying to whitewash and sob story this guy outta trouble.
He needs to get a new hobby, such as cleaning toilets in Federal Prison for about 30 years.
On checking other sources, there’s bribery, manufactured evidence, ghostwritten reports. Donziger’s racket got exposed, and the Guardian’s painting him as a victim is pathetic. He tried to scam Chevron out of $14 billion. He got caught.

The Capitol Police turned over a trove of evidence in the alleged Imran Awan House cyberbreach and theft case to the defense attorneys when they were supposed to deliver it to prosecutors instead, according to court documents and a source. And hours after The Daily Caller News Foundation asked prosecutors about the disclosure, Awan’s lawyer said he had learned of the forthcoming story from a source on Capitol Hill. TheDCNF had not told anyone other than prosecutors about it. “The cop came to [Awan’s defense attorney] Chris Gowen’s office with a stack of papers … Then he came back and...
