Because anybody can do that.
Freedom of Information Act request to ask for emails in the EPA about this.
And they found them.
And they found the meeting notes online.
from the senior advisor to Lee Zeldin, who had met with Bayer to have a pre-meeting before Lee Zeldin met with them and said, this is what we're gonna talk about.
And one of them was that they were talking about how they wanna take on the Supreme Court.
They wanna bring their case to the Supreme Court so Americans can't sue them anymore.
Legal immunity for Bayer and Monsanto at the Supreme Court.
But their case rested on the EPA not warning or saying that basically the EPA never said this was carcinogenic, so no one should ever be able to sue us for this, which is, even if that were true, still crazy.
Like what not should be the bar, right?
This is all just big money and power and one hand washing the other.
But we got these emails.
So Lee Zeldin comes, and what was important is that he comes before the committee.
