E 10 with exhibits
This exhibit in BP's motion to remove Juneau as Claims Administrator of the Deepwater Horizon Economic Claims Center clearly shows that Juneau was representing the state against BP when he accepted his position. He should have at least disclosed the potential conflict but not only did he hide it, he lied about it.
I went back and looked at Juneau's interview with Special Master Louis Freeh to see if Freeh asked Juneau if he had represented anyone in the BP litigation prior to accepting the position as Claims Administrator. This interview was conducted under oath:
"Now, I knew, from reading the newspaper -- I didn't have any involvement in anything in the spill. I didn't represent any claimants in the spill, wasn't representing any defendants in the spill, had really no connection with the spill per se."
That's a bald-faced lie...we now know from the exhibit posted above. It's also perjury because he was under oath in this interview. And I'd like to see him play the "foggy memory card" because he prefaced the whole statement with "I vividly remember...".
BP lawyer Mark Holstein even says in the exhibit had he known of the conflict previously he would have brought it to the attention of Special Master Louis Freeh. Well Freeh didn't even have to ask him, Juneau willingly denied having any "involvement with the spill" or having represented any claimants in the spill.
The reason this is a big deal is because Louis Freeh accused both Lionel Sutton and Christine Reitano of committing perjury when he interviewed them and suggested they be prosecuted for it, even though I don't think they did perjure themselves. Here, Juneau clearly did so.
Louis Freeh is currently incapacitated due to injuries he suffered in a very serious automobile accident in Vermont. Regardless of my opinion of his performance with the DHECC, I wish him a speedy recovery.
But someone within the Freeh Group should now make a statement regarding this matter of Juneau perjuring himself, no? If this was such a serious matter regarding employees under the Claims Administrator it should be much more serious coming from the CA himself.
