Oklahoma AG Releases Scott Pruitt Emails in Response to CMD Request. PROOF he's in bed w/ polluters
As known, Pruitt was and is in bed with polluters:
. . .
Among the documents released late yesterday, CMD has found:
The oil and gas lobby group American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) coordinated opposition in 2013 to both the Renewable Fuel Standard Program and ozone limits with Pruitts office. While AFPM was making its own case against the RFS with the American Petroleum Institute, it provided Pruitt with a template language for an Oklahoma petition, noting this argument is more credible coming from a State. Later that year, Pruitt did file opposition to both the RFS and ozone limits.
In a groundbreaking New York Times Pulitzer winning series in 2014, Eric Lipton exposed the close relationship between Devon Energy and Scott Pruitt, and highlighted examples where Devon Energy drafted letters that were sent by Pruitt under his own name. These new emails reveal more of the same close relationship with Devon Energy. In one email, Devon Energy helped draft language that was later sent by Pruitt to the EPA about the limiting of methane from oil and gas fracking.
In 2013, Devon Energy organized a meeting between Scott Pruitt, Leonard Leo of the Federalist Society and coal industry lawyer Paul Seby to plan the creation of a clearinghouse that would assist AGs in addressing federalism issues. Melissa Houston, then Pruitts chief of staff emailed Devon Energy saying this will be an amazing resource for the AGs and for industry.
Last week, the Oklahoma County Court found Scott Pruitt in violation of the states Open Records Act for improperly withholding responsive public records and ordered his office to release thousands of emails in a matter of days. CMDs lawsuit has driven unprecedented attention to Pruitts failure to disclose his deep ties to fossil industry corporations, with Senators on the Environmental and Public Works Committee declaring CMDs records requests a matter of federal importance.
