Want Names?

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.
The judiciary committee's chairman Chuck Grassley,
 R-Iowa, this week requested more information from Mylan about
EpiPen pricing amid furor over the its 400 percent cost increase in 
recent years. Grassley's campaign committee received a $5,000
donation from the Mylan PAC in 2006, according to Federal
Election Commission filings.
In all, the campaigns of Leahy and Schumer have received $15,000
 and $9,500 from the PAC, respectively.
