- pyuser583 5y agoI can’t read the article due to paywall, but “did not dismiss the idea that” is different from “there is evidence that”. Can you summarize/quote the relevant parts of the article? What evidence did the court find?

- ralph84 5y agoAnd Trump hasn't dismissed the possibility that he won the 2020 election. At some point you have to produce the evidence. Where are the career DoD procurement people leaking to WaPo that they were pressured? This was AMZN thinking that all they needed to include in their proposal was market share numbers. MSFT's proposal was more responsive to the DoD's needs.
