Liberal AG Threatens Libertarian Think Tank With More Legal Action For Questioning Global Warming

The Daily Caller reports on the subpoena that Attorney General Claude Walker sent CEI as part of the intimidation campaign to silence the debate on climate change. 

Virgin Islands Attorney General Claude Walker told a D.C.-based libertarian think tank he would be withdrawing a subpoena he sent the group in April as part of a broader investigation into ExxonMobil’s global warming stance — and in the same email threatened more legal actions against the group.

CEI has asked D.C.’s Superior Court to fine Walker for violating the group’s First Amendment rights, and the think tank is asking for attorneys fees and other sanctions to be placed on Walker.
