Donny Rico Episode #4: T'anks Judge!

The new Donny Rico episode about #Chevron and the ”honorable” judge #Kaplan!




It’s a perfect example of #Corporate #Fascism in the making.








Here’s a few of judge Kaplan's finest moments:


* Kaplan suggested the case be brought in the first place


* Kaplan rejected normal procedure and assigned the case to his own court


* Kaplan began by calling the Ecuadorians "so-called" plaintiffs


* Kaplan issued a global injunction before even hearing the case (later slapped down)


* Kaplan refused to let the evidence of Chevron's misdeeds be considered


* Kaplan treated the Ecuadorians like second class citizens


* Kaplan allowed Chevron to seize protected and privileged documents


* Kaplan violated the First Amendment rights of journalists and others allowing Chevron to seize private emails and other protected documents


* Kaplan refused to allow a jury in the case


* Kaplan decided not to disclose that he owns Chevron stock through several mutual funds


* Kaplan permitted double hearsay testimony from an admitted liar as the key witness for Chevron
