New York says Secretary of State Rex Tillerson used an email alias to discuss climate change while he was Exxon Mobil Corp.'s chief executive: Wayne Tracker.

Tillerson sent messages from the account to discuss the risks posed by climate change, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said in a court filing about his office's fraud investigation of the company. Tillerson, whose middle name is Wayne, used the Wayne Tracker account on the Exxon system from at least 2008 through 2015, Schneiderman said.

Schneiderman made the claim in a letter Monday to Justice Barry Ostrager in New York state court in Manhattan, accusing Exxon of failing to turn over all relevant documents required by a court order. The filing comes in a protracted legal dispute in which Exxon seeks to derail probes by New York and Massachusetts into whether the company misled investors for years about the possible impact of climate change on its business....

"Despite the company's incidental production of approximately 60 documents bearing the ‘Wayne Tracker' email address, neither Exxon nor its counsel have ever disclosed that this separate email account was a vehicle for Mr. Tillerson's relevant communications at Exxon, and no documents appear to have been collected from this email account," Schneiderman said.

The existence of the secondary email account was discovered by Schneiderman's team while reviewing other Exxon documents. New York claims the Irving, Texas-based energy giant has failed to turn over thousands of relevant files. In addition to climate change, the alias account was also used to discuss other "important matters" that weren't specified in the letter.

Rex Tillerson literally used an alternate email account to discuss business at Exxon to attempt to conceal evidence from the State of New York. They refused to turn over email evidence when subpoenaed, then once a court order was issued, they turned over email evidence that omitted emails from the alternate email account.

Seems fine!

[Watch Da Birdie]

So wait, he was so afraid to discuss that Climate Change might be real that he used an alias? Am I reading that right?

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

of course he did

 

[Got]

He's definitely someone who should be dragged out into the street and shot in the head for crimes against humanity. Sometimes it's too bad we are too civilized to do that.

 

[Aselith]

He was their "decent" pick lmao

 

[blackjaw]

But it's not the administrations job to vet their picks, right?

 

[Ishan]

Lol ....

 

[CHC]

Any chance this will lead to resignation?

 

[Maxim726X]

The emails go in... The emails go out.

Can't explain that.

 

[FrankCanada97]

What a creative name for an alias.

 

[tbm24]

Any chance this will lead to resignation?

Id imagine only if they seek criminal charges against members of Exxon, him included. I know very little about this case honestly.

[markofhavoc]

God damn could we please let a scandal stick, it frustrates me so

 

[NYR]

At least he didn't use Tex Rillerson. I could just imagine his response if he did:

"And I would have got away with it if it wasn't for you meddling kids!"

 

[SDBurton]

For crying out loud. Ugh.

 

[ultratruman]

God damn could we please let a scandal stick, it frustrates me so

Sorry, too late, KellyAnne Conway just said something dumb about microwaves.

 

[Lord Fagan]

As this happens here, I wonder what's taking place in the Hillary timeline.

 

[markofhavoc]

Sorry, too late, KellyAnne Conway just said something dumb about microwaves.

Go buy ExxonMobil products!!!

 

[Stinkles]

Ugh Prince just played a gay wedding to reveal he faked his death and Hawaii legalized weed and made spam musubi mandatory. Unless you don't want it.

 

[Stinkles]

They're all sticking it's just going to be slow and corrupt because gop

 

[sturgboski]

Whew, I thought I was going to be late for this.

For Tillerson can we change the water to oil and maybe have a rig in the background?

 

[andythinkpad]

Now we have to rely on New York State AG to police the thieves.

 

[Chained Prometheus]

As this happens here, I wonder what's taking place in the Hillary timeline.

Obstruction from the GOP. Lots and lots of obstruction.

 

[PantherLotus]

Wayne Tracker > Ron Mexico > Carlos Danger

 

[Darryl M R]

What punishment can he receive from this?

 

[sturgboski]

As this happens here, I wonder what's taking place in the Hillary timeline.

Well back last fall Chaffetz flat out said he would spend the next 4-8 years under Clinton investigating Benghazi and her emails. So that. Oh and the republicans doing everything they are complaining about the dems doing, except they would have the majority and actually be able to halt everything they didnt like.

As this happens here, I wonder what's taking place in the Hillary timeline.

Joe Scarborough is talking about why Hillary is selling out her voters by refusing to sign the GOP's Obamacare repeal

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

What punishment can he receive from this?

A 4 week email management class.

This is not something you should be posting

 

[innervision961]

So what happens now? Same thing that happened to Sessions? Mostly nothing? Or is this actually very illegal?

 

[Link]

Unbelievable how so obviously corrupt this entire administration is, and yet the cowards that make up the GOP not only refuse to take any action, they refuse to admit anything wrong is being done. Meanwhile, can you believe that shit about Hillary's emails? I think we need yet another investigation. LOCK HER UP!

 

[Got]

This is not something you should be posting

meh

 

[Plinko]

So wait, he was so afraid to discuss that Climate Change might be real that he used an alias? Am I reading that right?

ExxonMobil and Shell were talking about climate change being real as far back as the 1970s. They covered it up.

 

[wesleyshark]

He's definitely someone who should be dragged out into the street and shot in the head for crimes against humanity. Sometimes it's too bad we are too civilized to do that.

Lol. No.

I'm glad we don't live in a country that just straight up executes people.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

LOCK

HER

UP!

 

[BlueTsunami]

The Trump campaign seems to have become a hilariously large honey trap. So much brazen acts of corruption.

 

[pigeon]

I mean, what Sessions did was pretty illegal.

 

[UberTag]

He was their "decent" pick lmao

Nah... that's still Mattis. Although Mattis might be the one that ultimately triggers war with Iran.

 

[Got]

The Trump campaign seems to have become a hilariously large honey trap. So much brazen acts of corruption.

they saw an opening for no repercussions and took it.

 

[BlueTsunami]

Makes his creepy silence as the State Dept. Is being dismantled that much more terrifying.

 

[Prof. Bathtub]

I mean, what Sessions did was pretty illegal.

Well he didn't lie under oath, he just "lied under oath."

 

[Got]

Well he didn't lie under oath, he just "lied under oath."

the "d" makes a world of difference

 

[BoogieWoogie]

We've entered into a fucking cartoon where the GOP is so power hungry that unless a cabinet member fucks a white child or helps the poor, nothing will happen to them.
