American Justice sucks big time.Absolutely bloody awful. Are certain people

7. There has to be some payoff to her, this is absolutely nuts. Somebody better do an investigation of

her. How is it not solicitor/client privilege to have to turn over his devices. There is something very very wrong here. Time for DOJ to go after Chevron.

5. I have been following this story for a while, I don't know how but will add it to my to do list,

find out how to get one going and where to set it up. But I can at least lobby my U.S. Rep, a Republican named, LaMalfa when it maybe it should be LaMafia since he is Republican POS and both my Dem Senators, Padilla and Feinstein.

8. The oil companies own this country.

You see it all the time, whether it's a lawsuit or a big piece of legislation that aims to move the economy beyond greater oil consumption. It's going to take some brave people and a public who are much more educated about the oil business and its tentacles in our system.

9. He was found in contempt of court for flagrantly disobeying court orders. Judges don't like that.

10. He was prosecuted by a private law firm with connections to Chevron

after the federal government refused to do so.

For some reason this strategy of privatizing prosecutions with conflicts of interest seems reminiscent to me of the new abortion law in Texas deputizing pretty much anybody to make a quick ten grand.
