Want names?
Here they are, politicians who received money from Mylan, manufacturer of the now controversial epinephrine injection pen.
Most
of the members as noted in the article investigating the natter had
their pockets and palms greases by Mylan. So did the Clinton Foundation.
This story appeared on CNBC a leftist MSM member of which there is
little doubt. It's probably a token crumb from that network to try to
show they're really objective. You will noticed most of
these--Grassley, Leahy and Schumer--are heavyweight long standing
feeders at the public trough.
If you want to know
what's sick with the nation, this is a good example. The most that will
probably come out of this is these public servant rogues for hire will
likely make a public announcement their offices have given the money
back. Ain't that America.
A political committee for Mylan has
donated to most of the Senate
committee that has asked the drugmaker to
explain price increases
for allergy treatment EpiPen and could grill
executives in a hearing
on the matter.
The
Mylan Inc. PAC has given $13,500 to four current members of
the Senate
Judiciary Committee since 2014, including $5,000 to
ranking Democrat
Patrick Leahy of Vermont and $5,000 to the
Senate's likely next
Democratic leader Chuck Schumer of New
York. Since 1999, the PAC has
donated more than $60,000 to 11
current members of the 20-person
judiciary committee. Most
of those donations came after 2008.
This
illustrates the reach of Mylan's political effort, which
extended to
candidates and political action committees in 22
states between
December, 2014, to the end of 2015. The Mylan
PAC had $95,500 in
political contributions for that period, while
incurring $319,000 in
indirect lobbying expenses as part of
trade association membership.
In all, the campaigns of Leahy and Schumer have received $15,000
and $9,500 from the PAC, respectively.
