Oklahoma banned BlackRock and other ESG companies, so BlackRock hit them with a lawsuit. Attorney General Gentner Drummond took over the lead in the case against BlackRock.
Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond sent a secret email to BlackRock officials and lobbyists indicating he wanted to lose the case.
He is leading the case against BlackRock and told them he wants to “continue our productive corporate-state partnership.” Gentner also wants the BlackRock chief client officer to know he is “simply Gentner.”
He’s the epitome of everything that’s wrong with politicians.
Will Hild, Executive Director of Consumers First, said Gentner has close ties with BlackRock and their lobbyists.
SWAMP ALERT: HOLY SMOKES!

Yes, Oklahoma has a swamp too. It is overflowing with creatures such as this.
I know you can sue anybody for anything but how can a court even hear a case where one entity, government or not, can be sued for not doing business with another entity? In this case the State of Oklahoma being sued by BlackRock. Don’t they have the right to invest state funds (taxpayers’ money) wherever they believe they can get the best return on those investments? I know private citizens have that right and every other entity has that right too. Except for an entity that has a monopoly forcing customers to exclusively use their services, where does it say anybody must do business with anybody else.
it’s not just about returns, honesty and integrity have to be considered, as well as constitutional issues.
He should be facing a 10 year sentence for perverting the course of justice.
How stupid is OK for not recalling him immediately???
He just won a election that was filled with dark money and lies.
Any bets that nothing will be done to this slimeball, I mean this honorable gentleman.
Sounds like a parable of Jesus in Luke 16
No servant can serve two masters. Indeed, either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other.
Attorney General Gentner Drummond is like the manager in the parable; hating the citizens who elected him, and selling out with a black heart to Black Rock.
16 Jesus also said to his disciples, “There was a rich man who had a manager who was accused of wasting his possessions. 2 The rich man called him in and said to him, ‘What is this that I hear about you? Give an account of your management, because you can no longer be manager.’
3 “The manager said to himself, ‘What will I do, since my master is taking away the management position from me? I am not strong enough to dig. I am ashamed to beg. 4 I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from my position as manager, people will receive me into their houses.’
5 “He called each one of his master’s debtors to him. He asked the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’ 6 He said, ‘Six hundred gallons[a] of olive oil.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, sit down quickly, and write three hundred.’ 7 Then he said to another, ‘How much do you owe?’ And he said, ‘Six hundred bushels[b] of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill and write four hundred and eighty.’
8 “The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the children[c] of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation[d] than the children of the light are. …
13 No servant can serve two masters. Indeed, either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and mammon.”
Makes one wonder what is the nature of his financial deal ripping off the people of Oklahoma for the benefit of Black Rock?
