What looks like a bribe, sounds like a bribe, and is hidden by the beneficiaries like a bribe, is probably, if not obviously, a bribe.

The multi-billion Euro Pfizer deal was the only deal that broke protocol. It was negotiated directly with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen behind closed doors if not under the table.

Other pharmaceutical execs have sat before the committee. But Pfizer is refusing. Of course every suspect has the right to remain silent. The question is, What are Albert Bourla and Ursula von der Leyen hiding?

And why does the special committee not subpoena their own President to testify and check who received commission from this strange and unlawful deal.
