On the heels of documents discussed here, here and here (source documents here and here, h/t Energy Policy Advocates), CLW has perused further public records detailing just how Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison came to sue energy companies in his bid to join the climate litigation lottery and find “new streams of revenue.”
For the moment, suffice it to say that Ellison has a lot of explaining to do — as do a few others.
That includes others who went to some lengths to avoid having their or their silent partners’ involvement revealed, through means as simple as switching to a private email account, and as problematic as potentially violating certain rules of conduct.
Given the strained relationship Ellison’s Office has shown to have with the truth, CLW is going over the many details with a fine-toothed comb to help everyone get the story straight.
