OOPS! Apparently, they overstated many things in the original filing... “'FBI Employee 1’s testimony is hearsay, and hearsay repeating what were basically lies from the trial team,' independent journalist Marcy Wheeler wrote Tuesday on her emptywheel blog."
“'I’ve been there 11 years doing this and we’ve never pursued what we call our ‘bad actors,’' Tracy Case, an attorney for the Oklahoma Corporation Commission’s oil and gas division, said at a national regulators’ conference in May, according to a recording obtained by The Frontier and ProPublica."
