Giuliani still the slime he's always been
I heard a discussion on ARi Melber saying Giuliani has succeeded in muddying the waters and making twitler look better on the Russian collusion thing. But this asshole is one of the reasons we continue to have such a bad opioid crisis. I wish those who are suffering from these addiction learn about this.
Snip
Rudy Giuliani won deal for OxyContin maker to continue sales of drug behind opioid deaths
The US government missed the opportunity to curb sales of the drug that kickstarted the opioid epidemic when it secured the only criminal conviction against the maker of OxyContin a decade ago.
Purdue Pharma hired Rudolph Giuliani, the former New York mayor and now Donald Trump’s lawyer, to head off a federal investigation in the mid-2000s into the company’s marketing of the powerful prescription painkiller at the centre of an epidemic estimated to have claimed at least 300,000 lives.
The Sackler family made billions from OxyContin. Why do top US colleges take money tainted by the opioid crisis?
While Giuliani was not able to prevent the criminal conviction over Purdue’s fraudulent claims for OxyContin’s safety and effectiveness, he was able to reach a deal to avoid a bar on Purdue doing business with the federal government which would have killed a large part of the multibillion-dollar market for the drug.

The former New York mayor also secured an agreement that greatly restricted further prosecution of the pharmaceutical company and kept its senior executives out of prison.
