Democratic party attorney generals wanted to use the power of the government to engage in lawfare and intimidation against those who refuse to believe in anthropogenic climate change. They’ve been receiving a bit of their own medicine, and here comes some more
(New Boston Post) Two national public interest groups are suing Rhode Island’s attorney general, whom the groups claim formed a “secret pact†with climate change lobbyists and other state attorneys general to prosecute those who raise questions about global warming.
On Wednesday, Washington, D.C.-based Free Market Environment Law Clinic and the Energy & Environment Legal Institute filed suit in Providence Superior Court against the Rhode Island Department of the Attorney General, seeking specific records detailing that office’s collaboration with other attorneys general investigating those who disagree with the prevailing wisdom on climate change.
This goes back to the collusion between the 19 Democrat AGs and climate change lobbyists and groups to target Exxon Mobile, as well as lots of private Conservative groups. They demanded tons and tons of material, including emails and documents going back decades, which would include donor information and the names of compatriots, who would then be included in the targeting. It was a massive attempt to chill Free Speech, which Warmists are attempting to criminalize as “fraud”, despite having no actual evidence. So much was simply a fishing expedition.
The suit filed in Rhode Island on Wednesday by pro-energy groups alleges that Kilmartin’s office withheld documents related to his office’s involvement in the effort to coordinate such strategies.
In particular, the suit alleges that Kilmartin withheld evidence of a “common interest agreement†which, they allege, is actually a sweeping effort by the attorneys general to exempt themselves state open records laws with respect to any discussions regarding the topics of energy and climate. The suit claims that the AG’s office violated the Access to Public Records Act, Chapter 38-2 of the Rhode Island General Laws and seeks to vindicate the public’s right to a transparent and open government by asking the court to require Kilmartin to produce the requested records.
The AGs want tons and tons of records, yet, they seem very unwilling to provide their own. Similarly, these same AGs and climate groups are refusing to provide the documents demanded by a subpoena from the House of Representatives. What do they have to hide?
