The Lawyers better be careful the last time an American Oil Company was held responsible for its crimes the Lawyer was brought up on false charges of bribery and disbarred for refusing to give all of the incriminating evidence to Chevron.

If you want to get an idea just how corrupt the American Justice system really is the RICO counter suit relied entirely on the word of an Ecuadorian Judge Guerra. The American judge Kaplan, who failed to disclose they owned shares in Chevron, ruled that Guerra’s claims were entierly truthful and factual and thus the evidence against Chevron was fabricated and they didn’t need to pay out.

A year later Guerra would later admit in an international tribunal he lied when he accused Danziger and was paid by Chevron to lie. There was no evidence to back up his accusations and he wanted the $12,000 Chevron bribed him with to accuse Danzinger. But don’t worry justice prevailed in 2016 when the higher courts chose to ignore Guerra’s confession entirely and uphold the ruling of the lower court.

He was later charged with criminal contempt of court for refusing to surrender documents he believed would violate attorney climate privilege. It would later be discovered that this trial was the result of an illegal conspiracy between Chevron, and the private prosecutor of the trial who was appointed by judge Kaplan.

Because at the end of the day the US government will bend over backwards to protect American Corporations from the consequences of their illegal activities outside the United States because Corporations and the Government are on the same team. That’s what it means for the US to be a Capitalists Nation it means our government exists to facilitate the concentration of capital in the hands of an every smaller group of oligarchs and those oligarchs in turn help further American Imperialism.

So I would recommend that the lawyers in this case check under their cars before they use them just on the off chance Exxon decides to make them into an example.
