Assuming Trump interfered, a rebid is the best possible outcome. It took well over a year for that bid to be completed, meaning by the time this matter is adjudicated, we'll know whether or not Trump is on his way to a second term.
And if not, then there's no way the JEDI contract re-bid will be completed before he's out on Jan 20, 2021.

- fooey 7y agoThere's no assumption needed, he directly and publically interfered. Trump specifically ordered DoD to review the fundamental deal to make sure it didn't favor Amazon.
- eganist 7y agoWell since you're drawing out my personal politics: I agree, personally. I'm also among a population his team have indicated are unwelcome, but I'm trying to give some amount of respect to the justice system even if I feel he doesn't. Now with that aside, please keep the absolutist politics off of Hackernews. It's the last good sanctuary we have from what the rest of the internet has devolved into. There are plenty of people drawn into the administration's orbit who still have good ideas about product development which I'd like to learn.
