Rule #13 Saul Alinsky 'Rules for Radicals '
. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy"
Now that the Dems have succeeded in slapping a scarlet "convicted felon" on their main political rival who should they go after next?
Senate Majority leader Chuck (rhymes with schmuck) Schumer has an idea.
He and 22 other Dems sent a letter to the Justice Dept asking them to target oil companies.
The letter calls for the DOJ to launch an industry-wide investigation into possible violations of the Sherman Act to hold any bad actors accountable and to redress any harms to competition and consumers. The letter also outlined how Big Oil’s alleged collusion with OPEC is a national security concern that aids countries looking to undermine the US like Iran and Russia.

Good thing it hasn't worked as well as he planned . Private development has helped to reduce shortages that would've been real due to his policies .
Still the price of gas is more that a dollar/gallon more than at the end of the Trump Adm.
Since criminalizing politics is vogue ;the DOJ has to be involved .
Only the DOJ can prosecute and fully redress the alleged anticompetitive behavior in the oil sector,

The letter cites "evidence " from the FTC of former Pioneer CEO Scott Sheffield colluding with OPEC.

Sheffield disputes their charge. The FTC's attack is lame as Sheffield's reply points out

But he is the isolated face to attack. Expect charges to be filed against him and the American Oil Industry in the near future.
The truth is that Clueless Joe ,in an effort to keep oil prices low during the election season has turned a blind eye to Russia and Iran getting around sanctions .

In fact he has given Iran a waiver

And he has released over 270 million barrels from the Strategic Oil Reserve
.
So who is REALLY colluding with Russia and Iran and OPEC ?
