For anyone who has yet to connect the dots between Massey Energy CEO Don Blankenship’s history of buying judicial seats, his ability to dodge multi-million dollar lawsuits and his attempts to de-unionize and de-regulate the mining industry, a letter to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder calling for a RICO investigation into Blankenship’s criminal behavior lays it out clearly.
The letter, penned by Attorney Kevin Zeese, on behalf of StoptheChamber.com and Velvet Revolution, a non-profit watchdog group, provides Holder a punch list of Blankenship’s alleged illegal activity including what Zeese says is prima facie evidence of obstruction of justice, fraud and homicide.
