And that is considered speech, that money is considered speech
So I used my special interest, dark money funded campaign
To pay off folks that I need to pay off and get elected
So now I'm elected, now I'm in
I've got the power to draft, lobby, and shape the laws that govern
The United States of America... Fabulous 
Now, is there any hard limit that I have
Perhaps Mrs. Hobert Flynn?
Is there any hard limit that I have 
In terms of legislation that I'm allowed to touch
Are there any limits on the laws that I can write or influence
Especially- based on the special interest funds that I accepted 
To finance my campaign and get me elected in the first place

There's no limit

So there's none. So I can be totally funded by oil and gas
I can be totally funded by Big Pharma
I can come in, write Big Pharma laws
And there's no limits to that whatsoever

That's right

Okay, so. Awesome
Now, Mr. Mehraboni that last thing I want do
Is get rich with as little work possible
That's really what I'm trying to do as the bad guy, right?
So is there anything preventing me from holding stocks
Say in an oil or gas company
And then writing laws to deregulate that industry
And cause- you know that could potentially cause the stock value to soar
And accrue a lot of money in that time

You could do that

So I could do that?
I could do that now with the way our current laws are set up
Yes?

Yes

Oh, okay. Great
So my last question is
Or one of my last questions I guess I'd say
Is it possible that any elements of this story 
Apply to our current government
And our current public servants right now?

Yes
Yes

So we have a system that is fundamentally broken
We have these influences existing in this body
Which means that these influences are here in this committee 
Shaping the questions that are being asked of you all right now
Would you say that's correct?

Yes
Mr. Mehraboni? Or Mr. Shaub?
Yes

Alright, so
One last thing, Mr. Shaub
In relation to congressional oversight that we have
The limits that are placed on me as a congresswoman 
Compared to the executive branch and compared to say
The president of The United States
Would you say that Congress has the same sort of standard of accountability 
Are there- is there more teeth in that regulation in Congress on the president
Or would you say it's about even? Or more so on the federal?

In terms of laws that apply to the president, yeah
There's almost no laws at all that apply to the president

So I'm being held- and every person in this body is held
To higher ethical standard than the president of The United States

That's right because there are some committee
Ethics committee rules that apply to you

And it's already super legal as we seen 
For me to be a pretty bad guy
So it's even easier for the president of The United States to be one
I would assume

That's right
Thank you very much
