Yes, they should! I'm not implying anything is broken about the process, but they're clearly timing their actions around the election. As just one example: out of the 36 Antitrust press releases from the Attorney General's office (the tags on this press release) [0], 13 (36%) were in 2024 and 7 (19%) were just in the months of August and September of this year. A regular cadence of 36 Antitrust announcements since the administration started would be <1 per month, so 3.5/mo over the past two months (one of which isn't even over) is a clear outlier. There's some allowance to be made for the time it takes to put a lawsuit together but not enough to account for that large a difference. Again, that's not to imply anything about the ethics or motives of the people involved, nor to say they were sitting on their hands until now. All I'm saying is it's a reality of our political system that sometimes the answer to "why now?" is "because we saved it up for the election".
