This!! What can we as citizens do to get the money out of politics?

That's easy. Work to get Democrats elected in the House and Senate in 2018. They will impeach and remove POTUS, and will make it impossible for the Republicans to appoint another arch conservative to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court can overturn Citizens United, so let's all get to work on electing Democrats!!

That is the opposite of what we need. Your president worked hard to release as many convicted felon "non-violent" drug dealers (a vast number had gun convictions too) from prison and onto our streets:

- in the midst of an opioid epidemic. How stupid was that??!

Your ridiculous post earns three eye-rolls:

DP... so you are ok with lobbyists influencing our politicians? Trump, is that you?

The DEA power stripping happened under Obama/Eric Holder and now Trump. Facts are facts people.

The Republican Congress pushed it through and misled their colleagues about what it did. DEA opposed but the drug industry has spent a decade paying big bucks to get the best DEA lawyers to switch sides (career feds, not political appointees). As a result the DEA shifted to a more industry friendly position and the hard asses who went after the big companies were marginalized and/or pushed out. The Obama White House deferred to the DEA and did not realize the revolving door had compromised the agency.

Pharma has both parties in its pocket.

It was passed unanimously by both houses of Congress. Tell me how Obama had a choice whether to sign it or not?

thank goodness for liberal media. You'd never see this kind of reporting on breitbart.

It's a shame this kind of reporting took so long while the opioids epidemic raged on. It would've been helpful when Obama was president too.

Manchin is not exactly beyond reproach when it comes to drug companies.

True, although it's his daughter, not him, who is in charge of Mylan. He does represent a state which has been devastated by opioid addiction and was mentioned a number of times in the 60 Minutes report. At one point pharmacies in Mingo County, WV, population around 20,000, were in receipt of literally millions of pills by corrupt pharmaceutical distributors.
