ThinkProgress has learned that a law firm representing the U.S.
Chamber<BR>>>> of<BR>>>> Commerce, the big business trade
association representing ExxonMobil,<BR>>>> AIG,<BR>>>> and
other major international corporations, is working with set of<BR>>>>
"private<BR>>>> security" companies and lobbying firms to undermine
their political<BR>>>> opponents, including ThinkProgress, with a
surreptitious sabotage<BR>>>>
campaign.<BR>>>><BR>>>> According to e-mails obtained by
ThinkProgress, the Chamber hired the<BR>>>> lobbying firm Hunton and
Williams. Hunton And Williams' attorney<BR>>>>

labor<BR>>>> unions, in particular ThinkProgress, the labor coalition

by Team Themis, the campaign included an entrapment project.
The<BR>>>> proposal called for first creating a "false document,
perhaps<BR>>>> highlighting<BR>>>> periodical financial
information," to give to a progressive group<BR>>>>
opposing<BR>>>> the Chamber, and then to subsequently expose the
document as a fake to<BR>>>> undermine the credibility of the
