Court filings show new details about how the Sackler family which owns Purdue Pharma the makers of OxyContin misled doctors and the public about the addictive drug behind the opioid crisis

In 2002 Rudy Giuliani was hired by Purdue for legal and PR work
Giuliani helped Purdue Pharma continue doing business after a fine and settlement with the DOJ
2007 article by @EricLiptonNYT & @BarryMeier with much more detail on Giuliani’s extensive work for opioid maker Purdue Pharma

Agree with @AnandWrites here - academic, arts, and other leading institutions too often allow big donations to buy false prestige

A three-judge panel ruled Friday the deposition of Richard Sackler must be unsealed, along with about 17 million pages of other documents that were part of Kentucky's complex lawsuit against OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma.

The Sackler family are Clinton Foundation donors.
freebeacon.com/issues/hillary…
Oxycontin was invented by Purdue Pharma, purchased by Dr. Mortimer Sackler, a Clinton Foundation donor. Coincidentally in 2010, AFTER being denied approval by the FDA, Purdue got FDA approval of their painkiller which has sparked the opioid crisis in our country.

Sometimes one interesting story leads to another. Last year I wrote about how some U.S. govt probes into global drug trafficking by Hezbollah’s terrorist wing were derailed by the Obama admin's zeal for the Iran nuclear deal. politi.co/2jbt6fW
After we published that story, a message popped up in my encrypted email inbox. A former DEA and Justice Dept official told me the same thing happened to his team, but worse... and in Afghanistan.
This one involved standing down a long-running DEA investigation in Afghanistan into the kingpins atop the global narcotics trade, who supply more than 90% of the world’s heroin and help fuel the #opioid crisis in the U.S.

Emma Gonzalez was clearly coached. Blaming the NRA, Trump, & Republicans is standard leftist protocol.

Not one word on how the FBI knew & the school warned. The NRA isn’t even a big lobby, like pharmaceutical companies making our kids & adults addicts & aiding insanity.
More kids die from opiate overdoses than school shootings but you never have the media coach kids into talking about the Sackler family, who own Purdue Pharma a major opiate dealer. I wonder why the media protects them if they are so concerned about children deaths.
I would like to point out that not one leftis on here acting outraged that I would dare say Emma Gonzalez was coached has said anything about the deaths due to opiate overdoses and the lack of attention or care to call out the pharmaceutical lobby which is bigger than the NRA.

This isn't the first time @SenOrrinHatch has played politics with Americans' health, especially in Utah. 2/11
In 2016, @SenOrrinHatch, who received almost $180K in drug industry donations, led the way in hobbling the DEA's 3/11
