The Criminal Case Against Peter Gleick

FakeGate | The Heartland Institute

On Thursday, February 14, 2013, The Heartland Institute is releasing a 57-page report produced by its legal counsel, Jones Day, presented to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Illinois in support of criminal prosecution in the matter. Heartland asked that Peter Gleick, the scientist who confessed to identity theft, theft of confidential corporate documents, and lying to the press and his allies about the source of the documents he gave them, be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. So far, the U.S. Attorney has declined to prosecute Gleick.
