Well, the corrupt department of injustice has finally sent enough signals to American corporations that they don’t give a s$#t about the American legal system that companies are taking it to heart.
Thirty minutes ago, the headline above came across Bloomberg here (paywall after a limited number of articles) The quote, which could have come from disBarr, our corporate lapdog UnAttorney General is:
“We are not shutting in the line,” Energy Transfer spokeswoman Vicki Granado said in an email. Judge James E. Boasberg “exceeded his authority and does not have the jurisdiction to shut down the pipeline or stop the flow of crude oil.”
Yup, Federal judges no longer have authority to stop illegal acts. They are betting the DoJ won’t press charges is my read.
Sad day in America.
