I always suspected that the Obama Administration DOJ 'discrimination' lawsuit against Palintir had ulterior motives. A company which employees close to 40% Asians. I suspect someone's infiltration project went awry. "How could they possibly reject these candidates whose resume's we carefully tailored to be hired... Must be discrimination." --- Shadowy Data-Mining Firm Palantir Hit With Discrimination Suit Palantir is accused by the Department of Labor of discriminating against Asian job applicant https://www.pcmag.com/news/348234/shadowy-data-mining-firm-palantir-hit-with-discrimination-su https://www.pcmag.com/news/348234/shadowy-data-mining-firm-p...

if palantir needed to protect data from espionage, they should have incorporated as a defense contractor company, which can only hire citzens, etc. its a solved problem. but as with anything goophalbet, they wanted to have and eat the cake.
