- darby_nine 2y agoI don't either: https://gazette.com/news/wex/harris-s-choice-of-trump-debate-prepper-raises-eyebrows-for-possible-conflicts/article_f4771b7e-c112-55f4-b362-943f9d45282b.html https://gazette.com/news/wex/harris-s-choice-of-trump-debate... Regardless of your stance on whether or not Google specifically is a monopoly, this should be considered extremely concerning that Harris seems so friendly with someone representing a defendant her own justice department is prosecuting. Not that I want to divert from the topic at hand—just agree there's good reason to be apprehensive about similar expectations being met here.
- pfraze 2y agoNot sure why you say that. The Biden admin pursued a number of cases and recently got a monopoly ruling on Google
- hx833001 2y agoThe case was filed by the Trump administration in 2018, not Biden.
- darby_nine 2y agoThe DOJ has tremendous leeway to ask the courts for some result or another. We'll see how much spine this administration actually has. EDIT: I mean via remediation here, not literally swaying the ruling outside the courtroom.
- bigstrat2003 2y agoI mean... Harris isn't Biden. It's not inherently unreasonable to have different expectations for the policies of two different people.
