wall. do you intend to prosecute that? i intend if we find them to do that so you can t find them? if you have information about those groups that is your job. that s right, we re putting heavy resources into this. meanwhile, several other senators are concerned that no charges have been filed that have been protested outside the residence of supreme court justices in the wake of the leak dobbs decision to overturn roe v. wade. senator tom cotton appeared to question whether the doj was to preoccupied to take any meaningful action. consider the efforts department is put into checked on everyone, even on the capitol grounds on january six, 2021? you ve dedicated 1 million of man hours to study videotape, to do forensic analysis of computers and devices, to go knock and conduct interviews. you can t allocate just a few agents to look at people s social media accounts to say that they were present outside
former president. it shocked me that what might, this is an investigation that should proceed carefully and cautiously. i don t think we ve seen anything at least in this investigation that screams politics or politics are inappropriately or unfairly affecting the investigation. what i meant but that is the degree to which we have to entertain the reservations a few agents who are scared of trump, even though they have the evidence that, you know, a rate or search will make sense. that is a great point, and i think it s great with the timeline, at least according to the reporting which is that there is an indication that the department of justice in may wanting to proceed with a search warrant, and instead, the decision was made, according to this reporting, that let s do a subpoena instead, and it turns out that going forth with the subpoena was the right decision, not
only did they obtain evidence but it turns out that this is where the evidence of obstruction comes to light, and, in fact, it justifies, further justifies this decision to conduct a search. so, in fact, one other piece which is the debate i find interesting in the reporting was that, the fbi even at that late stage in july said that there should be a consensual search, and i want to highlight from some of the filings that occurred last summer and fall that there was an opportunity for a consensual search. on june 3rd, the department of justice was at mar-a-lago with three fbi agents, and they were explicitly prohibited, explicitly prohibited from searching the storage room where the documents were. there had been an opportunity for consensual search, and at the time had passed. yeah, and they were given many bites of the apple, as they were and basically made the case for their own obstruction over team trump.
attacks on the hill to focus on the things that you can control and your job and the things that you can t. you can control how you perform your job, you can t control what people say about you and what attacks they may lunch at you. i think some of the worst moments in the department s recent history has been when it has led political pressure push into doing things and handling and investigation that would not in ways that it would not otherwise conductive. the hillary clinton investigation is probably the most prominent example where jim comey, most prominently but certainly was not the only person in the department who made the decision about that case. because of the pressure that they re getting from republicans on capitol hill. once you start the parting from the way that you would normally conduct investigations and start doing things because people on the hill are saying put resources here, not where the facts or the law justify resources being spent, you really start to mak
is not been fixed in let s station, the truth is that activists and democrats have been trying for years. last year, president biden managed to cap insulin prices for seniors who had medicare at $35 per month. but republicans voted against a law that this count to prove fly to the millions of americans under 65 who needed to jump to live. with republican control of the house this year, there was not a ton of hope that new legislation will get passed anytime soon, but now, it looks like it might not have to. today, eli lily announced that they are voluntarily capping the price of their insulin at $35 a month, whether or not you have insurance effective immediately. the company ceo said the decision came as a result of conversations between the company and members of congress. the company may also have been spurred to act because now, nonprofits and start-ups and even the california state government are all set to start making their own cheaper insulin imminently.
