1. Meet Debbie Feinstein, the head of enforcement at the FTC under Obama. And a total catastrophe. More than most, she is responsible for high drug prices for allowing pharma mergers through. theintercept.com/2015/12/16/why…
2. I spoke with Feinstein once about her enforcement philosophy. She dismissed the concept that mergers, if they reduced wages, were anti-competitive. Where is she now after her stint under Obama allowing nearly every merger through? Of course, #BigLaw.
3. I bring her up because there was recently a merger in the dialysis industry which will raise prices on people with end stage renal disease. Yay price gouging for kidney failure. The FTC cleared it 3-2. And guess who represented the merging party? ftc.gov/news-events/pr…
4. Yup, Debbie Feinstein. She is the lawyer for NxStage Medical. You can thank her for higher medical prices, serving concentrated capital both inside of government and outside of it. The antitrust bar is a chummy, corrupt world. Yet another Obama failure, out of sight. 
5. Debbie Feinstein and the Obama administration antitrust world were not captured. They are simply pro-monopoly. It's a philosophical difference. Obama is an aristocrat, he hires aristocrats.
6. Conservative @jtepper2 has also noted that Feinstein is one of the regulators who is responsible for our monopoly epidemic. On a personal note, I find it sad Arnold and Porter, started by the great Thurman Arnold, is such a corrupt catastrophe. theamericanconservative.com/articles/why-t…
