When BushCo hires the Carter DOJ’s top antitrust lawyer, looking at the Google-Yahoo ad deal of earlier this summer, you know the fat’s in the fire.
And, reportedly, Sanford Litvack’s bailwick isn’t just limited to that. Maybe he’ll follow up on my thought of last week and see if Google Chrome is committing fraud over how it handles pop-up ads.
Is it rare for DOJ to hire an outside lawyer for this?
Yes.
Last time? 1998.
Lawyer? David Boies.
Civil defendant? Microsoft.
Have fun in court, Sergey and Larry.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
