Val Demings takes money from three of the companies now being supposedly grilled before the Antitrust committeepic.twitter.com/0mA2S1XUJl
Mary Gay Scanlon takes money from both Google and Facebook. I'm not watching the hearings so I'll just assume these relationships are being disclosedpic.twitter.com/rzxrBfaCoh
Jamie Raskin gets paid by Google, Microsoft, and Amazon.pic.twitter.com/QSB5jfInu6
Hank Johnson gets campaign donations from Microsoft, Google and Amazonpic.twitter.com/vaxw7HoIQW
On the other side of the aisle, Antitrust Subcommittee member Ken Buck gets money from Amazon, Google, and Microsoft. (source for all of these is the FEC website)pic.twitter.com/8vVtnE6rnb
