Immediately after that, Robert Murray, CEO of Murray Industries filed a lawsuit against HBO and the show and Oliver and a few dozen others claiming defamation. It's a completely frivolous lawsuit by a blowhard with lots of money intended to chill free expression and to scare people away from doing negative stories about him.
