12. You should read about the actual case.

The justice department refused to take this case, so a judge with an association to Chevron, appointment a private law firm (associated with Chevron) to prosecute him. He was ordered by the judge to turn over lawyer/client documents, and he appealed the judges ruling, which he has since won. However, the judge still decided to charge him with contempt of court for not turning over the documents and hired a private law firm to charge him since the justice dept would not charge him. In what case in the US have you ever heard of this happening. The contempt would be a misdemeanor punishable by more than a little over 100 days of found guilty. He has now been on house arrest for almost 600 days. Greenpeace and other Nobel prize winners have written a litter to the justice dept asking them to investigate and that is what should be done.
