I thought for sure someone would have posted this by now.
As you read, you will notice that Halliburton has not been named in the lawsuit....as yet....if ever.
I'm wondering where all these billions will go if they are ever forced to pay out.
Government Sues BP For Gulf Oil Spill: U.S. Justice Department Files Lawsuit Against Nine Companies Involved In Disaster
NEW ORLEANS — The Justice Department sued BP and several other companies involved in the Gulf oil spill Wednesday, an opening salvo in the government's effort to get billions of dollars for untold economic and environmental damage.
The government accuses the companies of disregarding federal safety regulations in drilling the well that blew out April 20 and triggered a deadly explosion on the Deepwater Horizon rig. The lawsuit is separate from a Justice Department criminal probe that has not resulted in any charges.
"The department's focus on investigating this disaster and preventing future (spills) is not over," Attorney General Eric Holder said during a news conference in Washington. "Both our civil and criminal investigations are ongoing."
