There is a great deal of documentation and discussion, but this document covers some of it, here are a couple of on-topic quotes:
>"Documents from and testimony by FTC managers show that Chair Khan marginalized the litigators and investigators at the FTC who had the skills necessary to win cases."
>"One manager consulted with his team and reported to
the Chief of Staff that Chair Khan was “[s]capegoating the career staff for the FTC’s ‘underenforcement’ of the antitrust laws”26 and “contributing to an external narrative that denigrates staff.”"
- kelnos 2y agoJim Jordan dunking on Democratic political appointees? Gee, there's a big surprise.
- nerdponx 2y agoThis is a document with an overt political agenda and should be taken with a bucketful of salt.
- nickff 2y agoThere are a number of other sources which describe the issues, if you care to look for them https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4520745 https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4520745
- the_gastropod 2y agoI wouldn't read too much into this document. It's written by one of the most egregious political hacks on the planet: Jim Jordan. Even in this report, he can't resist using the classic "Democrat" epithet at the tippy-top of page 5 [1]. Jordan also subpoenaed Khan after the FTC took action against Elon Musk—Republicans' second-favorite billionaire they'll defend at all costs. This document reads like political theater because it is political theater. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democrat_Party_(epithet) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democrat_Party_(epithet)
